This is feature that many sites +will want to use if they migrate to Samba-3 from and NT4 style domain and do NOT want to +adopt Active Directory or an LDAP based authentication back end. This section explains +some background information regarding trust relationships and how to create them. It is now +possible for Samba3 to NT4 trust (and vica versa), as well as Samba3 to Samba3 trusts. +</para> + +<sect1> +<title>Trust Relationship Background</title> + +<para> +MS Windows NT3.x/4.0 type security domains employ a non-hierchical security structure. +The limitations of this architecture as it affects the scalability of MS Windows networking +in large organisations is well known. Additionally, the flat-name space that results from +this design significantly impacts the delegation of administrative responsibilities in +large and diverse organisations. +</para> + +<para> +Microsoft developed Active Directory Service (ADS), based on Kerberos and LDAP, as a means +of circumventing the limitations of the older technologies. Not every organisation is ready +or willing to embrace ADS. For small companies the older NT4 style domain security paradigm +is quite adequate, there thus remains an entrenched user base for whom there is no direct +desire to go through a disruptive change to adopt ADS. +</para> + +<para> +Microsoft introduced with MS Windows NT the ability to allow differing security domains +to affect a mechanism so that users from one domain may be given access rights and privilidges +in another domain. The language that describes this capability is couched in terms of +<emphasis>Trusts</emphasis>. Specifically, one domain will <emphasis>trust</emphasis> the users +from another domain. The domain from which users are available to another security domain is +said to be a trusted domain. The domain in which those users have assigned rights and privilidges +is the trusting domain. With NT3.x/4.0 all trust relationships are always in one direction only, +thus if users in both domains are to have privilidges and rights in each others' domain, then it is +necessary to establish two (2) relationships, one in each direction. +</para> + +<para> +In an NT4 style MS security domain, all trusts are non-transitive. This means that if there +are three (3) domains (let's call them RED, WHITE, and BLUE) where RED and WHITE have a trust +relationship, and WHITE and BLUE have a trust relationship, then it holds that there is no +implied trust between the RED and BLUE domains. ie: Relationships are explicit and not +transitive. +</para> + +<para> +New to MS Windows 2000 ADS security contexts is the fact that trust relationships are two-way +by default. Also, all inter-ADS domain trusts are transitive. In the case of the RED, WHITE and BLUE +domains above, with Windows 2000 and ADS the RED and BLUE domains CAN trust each other. This is +an inherent feature of ADS domains. +</para> + +</sect1> + +<sect1> +<title>MS Windows NT4 Trust Configuration</title> + +<para> +There are two steps to creating an inter-domain trust relationship. + +<sect2> +<title>NT4 as the Trusting Domain</title> + +<para> +For MS Windows NT4, all domain trust relationships are configured using the Domain User Manager. +To affect a two way trust relationship it is necessary for each domain administrator to make +available (for use by an external domain) it's security resources. This is done from the Domain +User Manager Policies entry on the menu bar. From the Policy menu, select Trust Relationships, then +next to the lower box that is labelled "Permitted to Trust this Domain" are two buttons, "Add" and +"Remove". The "Add" button will open a panel in which needs to be entered the remote domain that +will be able to assign user rights to your domain. In addition it is necessary to enter a password +that is specific to this trust relationship. The password is added twice. +</para> + +</sect2> + +<sect2> +<title>NT4 as the Trusted Domain</title> + +<para> +A trust relationship will work only when the other (trusting) domain makes the appropriate connections +with the trusted domain. To consumate the trust relationship the administrator will launch the +Domain User Manager, from the menu select Policies, then select Trust Relationships, then click on the +"Add" button that is next to the box that is labelled "Trusted Domains". A panel will open in +which must be entered the name of the remote domain as well as the password assigned to that trust. +<para> + +</sect2> +</sect1> + +<sect1> +<title>Configuring Samba Domain Trusts</title> + +<para> +This descitpion is meant to be a fairly short introduction about how to set up a Samba server so +that it could participate in interdomain trust relationships. Trust relationship support in Samba +is in its early stage, so lot of things don't work yet. Paricularly, the contents of this document +applies to NT4-style trusts. +</para> + +<para> +Each of the procedures described below is treated as they were performed with Windows NT4 Server on +one end. The other end could just as well be another Samba3 domain. It can be clearly seen, after +reading this document, that combining Samba-specific parts of what's written below leads to trust +between domains in purely Samba environment. +</para> + +<sect2> +<title>Samba3 as the Trusting Domain</title> + +<para> +In order to set Samba PDC to be trusted party of the relationship first you need +to create special account for domain that will be the trusting party. To do that, +you can use 'smbpasswd' utility. Creating the trusted domain account is very +similiar to creating the connection to the trusting machine's account. Suppose, +your domain is called SAMBA, and the remote domain is called RUMBA. Your first +step will be to issue this command from your favourite shell: +</para> + +<para> +<screen> +<prompt>deity#</prompt> <userinput>smbpasswd -a -i rumba</userinput> + New SMB password: XXXXXXXX + Retype SMB password: XXXXXXXX + Added user rumba$ +</screen> + +where <parameter>-a</parameter> means to add a new account into the passdb database and <parameter>-i</parameter> means create this account with the Inter-Domain trust flag. +</para> + +<para> +The account name will be 'rumba$' (the name of the remote domain) +</para> + +<para> +fter issuing this command you'll be asked for typing account's +password. You can use any password you want, but be aware that Windows NT will +not change this password until 7 days have passed since account creating. +After command returns successfully, you can look at your new account's entry +(in the way depending on your configuration) and see that account's name is +really RUMBA$ and it has 'I' flag in the flags field. Now you're ready to confirm +the trust by establishing it from Windows NT Server. +</para> + +<para> +Open 'User Manager for Domains' and from menu 'Policies' select 'Trust Relationships...'. +Right beside 'Trusted domains' list press 'Add...' button. You'll be prompted for +trusted domain name and the relationship's password. Type in SAMBA, as this is +your domain name and the password you've just used during account creation. +Press OK and if everything went fine, you will see 'Trusted domain relationship +successfully established' message. Well done. +</para> + +</sect2> +<sect2> +<title>Samba3 as the Trusted Domain</title> + +<para> +This time activities are somewhat reversed. Again, we'll assume that your domain +controlled by Samba PDC is called SAMBA and NT-controlled domain is called RUMBA. +</para> + +<para> +The very first thing is to add account for SAMBA domain on RUMBA's PDC. +</para> + +<para> +Launch the Domain User Manager, then from the menu select 'Policies', 'Trust Relationships'. +Now, next to 'Trusted Domains' box press the 'Add' button, and type in the name of the trusted +domein (SAMBA) and password securing the relationship. +</para> + +<para> +Password can be arbitrarily chosen the more, because it's easy to change it +from Samba server whenever you want. After confirming password your account is +ready and waiting. Now it's Samba's turn. +</para> + +<para> +Using your favourite shell while being logged on as root, issue this command: +</para> + +<para> +<prompt>deity# </prompt><userinput>net rpc trustdom establish rumba</userinput> +</para> + +<para> +You'll be prompted for password you've just typed on your Windows NT4 Server box. +Don't worry if you will see the error message with returned code of +<errorname>NT_STATUS_NOLOGON_INTERDOMAIN_TRUST_ACCOUNT</errorname>. It means the +password you gave is correct and the NT4 Server says the account is ready for trusting your domain +and not for ordinary connection.
