  • How to implement samba shares to authenticate with the AD users through SSSD in RHEL 6 ?

  • Is there any plans to include the feature of authenticating samba share through sssd in RHEL 6.8 ?

  • Currently, we have Windows Active directory integration working using SSSD. We now have a request to implement Samba for file sharing. Since SSSD is already using the Samba configuration file for its own purposes, how do we configure Samba to work without conflicting with SSSD?

  • Can we configure a system to authenticate to AD through both the mechanisms SSSD and the winbind ?

Environment
