Hello,

After a couple of years using Samba as a DC I figured I would start 
working it the other way around. I'm using CentOS, the latest and tried 
to use the GUI manager. I am sort of confused as there are acutally 2 
windows. I filled out both and supplied the name of the AD 
administrator. Do I just put the AD domain in there with .realm after 
it? (eg testdomain.com.realm)? I tried with and without

I then tried to login with an AD user, but used his username only (eg 
user1) but it didn't work.

I am assuming that with this type of authentication, I will be able to 
login with user's from the AD directory...

Has anyone worked with this setup before?

Thanks,

James
