Hi Mark,

Please tell us what do you want to build?

A Samba server or a client?
Does this Samba enviroment have to use AD?

Answering an one sentence question without these details can be dangerous for we might point you in the wrong direction.

http://www.samba.org can be a begin. But some examples are a bit difficult to understand/implement.

Kind regards,

Hi Mark,

please take a look through How do I authenticate Red Hat Enterprise Linux to Active Directory using SSSD? and there is a short video on doing this from Anaconda.

If you need to have mounted shares, then Samba will be a prerequisite, but if not, you may be able to achieve your goal with SSSD alone.
