The SunFreeware Samba package is not compiled with AD support.

Kerberos Installation and Configuration

Install Kerberos

Download and install Kerberos.

$ gzip -cd krb5-1.6.2.tar.gz | tar xvf -
$ cd krb5-1.6.2/src
$ PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin ./configure
$ make
# make install

Configure Kerberos

Example /usr/local/etc/krb5.conf assuming:

• Kerberos domain of DOMAIN.EXAMPLE.COM
• Key Distribution Center (KDC) of PDC.DOMAIN.EXAMPLE.COM:

[libdefaults]
       # To prevent encryption type mismatches, limit the Kerberos client
       # libraries to the list supported by Microsoft
       default_tgs_enctypes = RC4-HMAC DES-CBC-MD5 DES-CBC-CRC
       default_tkt_enctypes = RC4-HMAC DES-CBC-MD5 DES-CBC-CRC
       preferred_enctypes   = RC4-HMAC DES-CBC-MD5 DES-CBC-CRC

       # Default realm to append to unqualified principal names
       default_realm = DOMAIN.EXAMPLE.COM

       # Use DNS to locate KDCs
       # This requires:
       # 1. /etc/resolv.conf contains nameservers used by AD clients
       # and servers
       # 2. The /etc/resolv.conf "search" list contains the name of the
       # AD domain
       dns_lookup_kdc = true

# Example of manually configuring KDC lookups
#[realms]
#       DOMAIN.EXAMPLE.COM = {
#               kdc = pdc.domain.example.com
#       }

OpenLDAP Installation

Download and install OpenLDAP.

$ gzip -cd openldap-2.3.38.tgz | tar xvf -
$ cd openldap-2.3.38
$ PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin ./configure --disable-bdb --enable-null --without-tls
...
checking db.h usability... no
checking db.h presence... no
checking for db.h... no
configure: error: BDB/HDB: BerkeleyDB not available

GNU autoconf (i.e., configure) checks for BerkeleyDB even with the --disable-bdb option. As a workaround, use the --disable-backends option.

$ PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin ./configure --disable-backends --enable-null --without-tls
$ make depend
$ make
# make install

Samba Installation and Configuration

Install Samba

Download and install Samba.

$ gzip -cd samba-3.0.26a.tar.gz | tar xvf -
$ cd samba-3.0.26a/source
$ PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/bin ./configure --with-ldap --with-ads --with-krb5=/usr/local --with-winbind
# make install

Configure Samba

• Create the Samba configuration file (e.g., /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf).

[global]
       # Kerberos, LDAP, and Active Directory support must be built into
       # Samba to use "security = ads"
       security = ads

       # Required for member servers of a domain, "yes" by default
       encrypt passwords = yes

       # In Active Directory domains, the Kerberos realm is the same
       # as the domain's DNS name in uppercase
       realm = DOMAIN.EXAMPLE.COM

       # Domain to which the server belongs
       workgroup = DOMAIN

       # Disable NetBIOS; use DNS for name service and TCP/UDP for transport
       smb ports = 445
       disable netbios = yes
       name resolve order = hosts

       # Log to /var/log/samba.log instead of /usr/local/samba/var/log.smbd
       log file = /var/log/samba.log

Create the Samba startup/shutdown script

e.g., /etc/init.d/samba

#!/bin/sh

SMBDIR=/usr/local/samba

case "$1" in
'start')
        $SMBDIR/sbin/smbd -D
        ;;
'stop')
        $SMBDIR/bin/smbcontrol smbd shutdown
        ;;
*)
        echo "Usage: $0 { start | stop }"
        ;;
esac

# chmod 555 /etc/init.d/samba
# chown root:root /etc/init.d/samba
