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 Samba-3 to trust NT4 (and vice versa), as well as to create Samba3-to-Samba3 +trusts. +</p><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2911605"></a>Features and Benefits</h2></div></div><div></div></div><p> +Samba-3 can participate in Samba-to-Samba as well as in Samba-to-MS Windows NT4 style +trust relationships. This imparts to Samba similar scalability as is possible with +MS Windows NT4. +</p><p> +Given that Samba-3 has the capability to function with a scalable backend authentication +database such as LDAP, and given it's ability to run in Primary as well as Backup Domain control +modes, the administrator would be well advised to consider alternatives to the use of +Interdomain trusts simply because by the very nature of how this works it is fragile. +That was, after all, a key reason for the development and adoption of Microsoft Active Directory. +</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2911633"></a>Trust Relationship Background</h2></div></div><div></div></div><p> +MS Windows NT3.x/4.0 type security domains employ a non-hierarchical 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 namespace that results from +this design significantly impacts the delegation of administrative responsibilities in +large and diverse organisations. +</p><p> +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. +</p><p> +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 privileges +in another domain. The language that describes this capability is couched in terms of +<span class="emphasis"><em>Trusts</em></span>. Specifically, one domain will <span class="emphasis"><em>trust</em></span> 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 privileges +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 privileges and rights in each others' domain, then it is +necessary to establish two (2) relationships, one in each direction. +</p><p> +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. +</p><p> + +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. Samba-3 implements MS Windows NT4 +style Interdomain trusts and interoperates with MS Windows 200x ADS +security domains in similar manner to MS Windows NT4 style domains. +</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2911721"></a>Native MS Windows NT4 Trusts Configuration</h2></div></div><div></div></div><p> +There are two steps to creating an interdomain trust relationship.

Trust relationship support in Samba +is in its early stage, so lot of things don't work yet. +</p><p> +Each of the procedures described below assumes the peer domain in the trust relationship is +controlled by a Windows NT4 server. However, the remote end could just as well be another +Samba-3 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 a purely Samba +environment. +</p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="samba-trusted-domain"></a>Samba as the Trusted Domain</h3></div></div><div></div></div><p> +In order to set the Samba PDC to be the trusted party of the relationship you first need +to create a special account for the domain that will be the trusting party. To do that, +you can use the 'smbpasswd' utility. Creating the trusted domain account is very +similar to creating a trusted machine account. Suppose, your domain is +called SAMBA, and the remote domain is called RUMBA. The first step +will be to issue this command from your favourite shell: +</p><p> +</p><pre class="screen"> +<tt class="prompt">root# </tt> <b class="userinput"><tt>smbpasswd -a -i rumba</tt></b> +New SMB password: <b class="userinput"><tt>XXXXXXXX</tt></b> +Retype SMB password: <b class="userinput"><tt>XXXXXXXX</tt></b> +Added user rumba$ +</pre><p> + +where <tt class="option">-a</tt> means to add a new account into the +passdb database and <tt class="option">-i</tt> means: ''create this +account with the InterDomain trust flag'' +</p><p> +The account name will be 'rumba$' (the name of the remote domain) +</p><p> +After issuing this command you'll be asked to enter the password for +the account. You can use any password you want, but be aware that Windows NT will +not change this password until 7 days following account creation. +After the command returns successfully, you can look at the entry for the new account +(in the standard way as appropriate for your configuration) and see that account's name is +really RUMBA$ and it has the 'I' flag set in the flags field. Now you're ready to confirm +the trust by establishing it from Windows NT Server. +</p><a class="indexterm" name="id2912170"></a><p> +Open <span class="application">User Manager for Domains</span> and from the +<span class="guimenu">Policies</span> menu, select <span class="guimenuitem">Trust Relationships...</span>. +Right beside the <span class="guilabel">Trusted domains</span> list box press the +<span class="guimenu">Add...</span> button. You will be prompted for +the trusted domain name and the relationship password. Type in SAMBA, as this is +the name of the remote domain, and the password used at the time of account creation. +Press OK and, if everything went without incident, you will see +<tt class="computeroutput">Trusted domain relationship successfully +established</tt> message. +</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2912232"></a>Samba as the Trusting Domain</h3></div></div><div></div></div><p> +This time activities are somewhat reversed. Again, we'll assume that your domain +controlled by the Samba PDC is called SAMBA and NT-controlled domain is called RUMBA. +</p><p> +The very first step is to add an account for the SAMBA domain on RUMBA's PDC. +</p><a class="indexterm" name="id2912253"></a><p> +Launch the <span class="application">Domain User Manager</span>, then from the menu select +<span class="guimenu">Policies</span>, <span class="guimenuitem">Trust Relationships</span>. +Now, next to the <span class="guilabel">Trusted Domains</span> box press the <span class="guibutton">Add</span> +button, and type in the name of the trusted domain (SAMBA) and the password to use in securing +the relationship. +</p><p> +The password can be arbitrarily chosen. It is easy to change the password +from the Samba server whenever you want. After confirming the password your account is +ready for use. Now it's Samba's turn. +</p><p> +Using your favourite shell while being logged in as root, issue this command: +</p><p> +<tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>net rpc trustdom establish rumba</tt></b> +</p><p> +You will be prompted for the password you just typed on your Windows NT4 Server box. +Do not worry if you see an error message that mentions a return code of +NT_STATUS_NOLOGON_INTERDOMAIN_TRUST_ACCOUNT. It means the +password you gave is correct and the NT4 Server says the account is +ready for interdomain connection and not for ordinary +connection. After that, be patient; it can take a while (especially +in large networks), but eventually you should see the <tt class="computeroutput">Success</tt> message. +Congratulations! Your trust relationship has just been established. +</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p> +Note that you have to run this command as root because you must have write access to +the <tt class="filename">secrets.tdb</tt> file. +</p></div></div></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2912370"></a>NT4-style Domain Trusts with Windows 2000</h2></div></div><div></div></div><p> +Although <span class="application">Domain User Manager</span> is not present in Windows 2000, it is +also possible to establish an NT4-style trust relationship with a Windows 2000 domain +controller running in mixed mode as the trusting server. It should also be possible for +Samba to trust a Windows 2000 server, however, more testing is still needed in this area. +</p><p> +After <a href="InterdomainTrusts.html#samba-trusted-domain" title="Samba as the Trusted Domain">creating the interdomain trust account on the +Samba server</a> as described above, open <span class="application">Active Directory Domains and +Trusts</span> on the AD controller of the domain whose resources you wish Samba users +to have access to.
