I am trying to get our prototype Linux workstation to allow users to see shares on our legacy MicroSoft Windows-2000 Domain Server, I can find guides for setting up Samba as a Primary Domain Controller but I cannot seem to locate any good and expansive guide for setting up a samba workstation and just joining the domain. Perhaps this is so trivial a process no-one thinks that it requires such a guide.
We have user logins to that workstation using the existing Windows Domain controller for authentication but I cannot seem to unlock how to allow access to the shares. We have CUPS configured to the networked printers but I had to use the administrator's id and password to get that to work.
I am really looking for a comprehensive guide to the entire process from the CentOS workstation point of view and any pointers to such are earnestly sought. I found this site: http://linux.unimelb.edu.au/server/course/fc3/samba.html which seems to fairly complete but I lack sufficient experience with samba and kerberos to determine exactly what this is telling me. I believe at this point that I should be using the "ADS security model" but I have no idea what a "kerberos realm" is (at least with respect to an existing MicroSoft Domain). I also lack the knowledge of how to configure this portion of the set up so a guiding hand is most welcome.
Our fqdn for the Microsoft domain is "brockley.harte-lyne.ca"
I have set up the samba server setting to this:
Basic: Workgroup: brockley Description: <fqhn of Linux workstation>
Security: Auth Mode: ADS Auth. Server: BRDC-01.Brockley.Harte-Lyne.ca Kerberos Realm: blank (and I cannot set it so that the setting is preserved) Encrypt Passwords: Yes Guest Account: No Guest Account
