Integracion de Samba a l'Active Directory.

Accedir a un partiment Samba

Another use for Samba is to integrate into an existing Windows network. Once part of an Active Directory (AD) domain, Samba can provide file and print services to AD users.

The simplest way to join an AD domain is to use Likewise-open. For detailed instructions, see the section called “Likewise Open”.

Once part of the domain, enter the following command in the terminal prompt:

sudo apt-get install samba smbfs smbclient

Since the likewise-open and samba packages use separate secrets.tdb files, a symlink must be created in /var/lib/samba:

sudo mv /var/lib/samba/secrets.tdb /var/lib/samba/secrets.tdb.orig
sudo ln -s /etc/samba/secrets.tdb /var/lib/samba

Next, edit /etc/samba/smb.conf changing:

workgroup = EXAMPLE
...
security = ads
realm = EXAMPLE.COM
...
idmap backend = lwopen
idmap uid = 50-9999999999
idmap gid = 50-9999999999

Restart samba for the new settings to take effect:

sudo /etc/init.d/samba restart

It should now be possible to access any Samba shares from a Windows client. However, be sure to give the appropriate AD users or groups access to the share directory. See the section called “Securizar un servidor de fichièrs e d'estampatge Samba” for more details.

Accedir a un partiment Windows

Now that the Samba server is part of the Active Directory domain, any Windows server shares can be accessed:

  • To mount a Windows file share, enter the following in a terminal prompt:

    mount.cifs //fs01.example.com/partage punt_de_montatge
    

    It is also possible to access shares on computers not part of an AD domain, but a username and password must be provided.

  • To mount the share during boot, place an entry in /etc/fstab, for example:

    //192.168.0.5/share /mnt/windows cifs auto,username=steve,password=secret,rw 0 0
    
  • Another way to copy files from a Windows server is to use the smbclient utility. To list the files in a Windows share:

    smbclient //fs01.example.com/share -k -c "ls"
    
  • To copy a file from the share, enter:

    smbclient //fs01.example.com/share -k -c "get file.txt"
    

    This will copy the file.txt into the current directory.

  • Per copiar un fichièr cap al partiment :

    smbclient //fs01.example.com/share -k -c "put /etc/hosts hosts"
    

    This will copy the /etc/hosts to //fs01.example.com/share/hosts.

  • The -c option used above allows execution of the smbclient command all at once. This is useful for scripting and minor file operations. To enter the smb: \> prompt, an FTP-like prompt where normal file and directory commands can be executed, simply run the following in Konsole:

    smbclient //fs01.example.com/share -k
    

Note

Replace all instances of fs01.example.com/share, //192.168.0.5/share, username=steve,password=secret, and file.txt with the proper server IP, hostname, share name, file name, and an actual username and password with rights to the share.

For more smbclient options see the man page: man smbclient, also available online.

The mount.cifs man page is also useful for more detailed information.
