  • Samba Share with domain authentication

    Posted on

    Hello,

    I want to user samba server on RHEL 7 and be able to access to the share from windows server with domain authentication.

    I successfully create the same as anonymous and with local user on samba server but now I need some help with the domain authentication.
    RHEL vm is integrated to Microsoft Active Directory with realm join and I'm using sssd. Login to the vm with domain id is working fine.

    Content of smb.conf is :

    [global]
    workgroup = INFRATEST
    client signing = yes
    client use spnego = yes
    kerberos method = secrets and keytab
    log file = /var/log/samba/%m.log
    realm = DOMAIN.INFRATEST
    security = ads

    ============================ Share Definitions ==============================

    [infratest]
    Path = /infratest
    read only = no
    create mask = 0774
    directory mask = 0774
    guest ok = no
    valid users = @INFRATEST\LIN-ADM

    LIN-ADM is a security group in AD for linux admins.

    From a windows server when I'm trying to get \IP\infratest the authentication is needed but there is an error : Windows cannot access \IP\infratest

    samba version : 4.9.1-10.el7_7
    RHEL 7 with kernel 3.10.0-1062.12.1.el7.x86_64

    Thanks for your help.
    Regards
    Sebastien
