To many, this is the holy -grail of MS Windows NT and beyond networking. SSO allows users in a well designed network -to log onto any workstation that is a member of the domain that their user account is in -(or in a domain that has an appropriate trust relationship with the domain they are visiting) -and they will be able to log onto the network and access resources (shares, files, and printers) -as if they are sitting at their home (personal) workstation. This is a feature of the Domain -security protocols. -</p><p> -The benefits of Domain security are available to those sites that deploy a Samba PDC. -A Domain provides a unique network security identifier (SID). Domain user and group security -identifiers are comprised of the network SID plus a relative identifier (RID) that is unique to -the account. User and Group SIDs (the network SID plus the RID) can be used to create Access Control -Lists (ACLs) attached to network resources to provide organizational access control. UNIX systems -know only of local security identifiers. -</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p> -Network clients of an MS Windows Domain security environment must be Domain members to be -able to gain access to the advanced features provided. Domain membership involves more than just -setting the workgroup name to the Domain name. It requires the creation of a Domain trust account -for the workstation (called a machine account). Please refer to the chapter on -<a href="domain-member.html" title="Chapter 7.

In the case where the back end is placed in an LDAP database, - Samba-3 confers the benefits of a back end that can be distributed, replicated, - and is highly scalable. - </p></li><li><p> - Implements full Unicode support. This simplifies cross locale internationalisation - support. It also opens up the use of protocols that Samba-2.2.x had but could not use due - to the need to fully support Unicode. - </p></li></ul></div><p> -The following functionalities are NOT provided by Samba-3: -</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p> - SAM replication with Windows NT4 Domain Controllers - (i.e. a Samba PDC and a Windows NT BDC or vice versa).

The protocol for support of Windows 9x / Me style network (domain) logons -is completely different from NT4 / Win2k type domain logons and has been officially supported -for some time. These clients use the old LanMan Network Logon facilities that are supported -in Samba since approximately the Samba-1.9.15 series. -</p><p> -Samba-3 has an implementation of group mapping between Windows NT groups -and UNIX groups (this is really quite complicated to explain in a short space).

In Windows 200x Domain Control architecture this role is held by domain controllers. -There is folk lore that dictates that because of it's role in the MS Windows -network, the domain controllers should be the most powerful and most capable machine in the network. -As strange as it may seem to say this here, good over all network performance dictates that -the entire infrastructure needs to be balanced. It is advisable to invest more in Stand-Alone -(or Domain Member) servers than in the domain controllers. -</p><p> -In the case of MS Windows NT4 style domains, it is the PDC that initiates a new Domain Control database. -This forms a part of the Windows registry called the SAM (Security Account Manager). It plays a key -part in NT4 type domain user authentication and in synchronisation of the domain authentication -database with Backup Domain Controllers. -</p><p> -With MS Windows 200x Server based Active Directory domains, one domain controller initiates a potential -hierarchy of domain controllers, each with their own area of delegated control. The master domain -controller has the ability to override any down-stream controller, but a down-line controller has -control only over it's down-line. With Samba-3 this functionality can be implemented using an -LDAP based user and machine account back end. -</p><p> -New to Samba-3 is the ability to use a back-end database that holds the same type of data as -the NT4 style SAM (Security Account Manager) database (one of the registry files). -<sup>[<a name="id2887167" href="#ftn.id2887167">1</a>]</sup> -</p><p> -The <span class="emphasis"><em>Backup Domain Controller</em></span> or BDC plays a key role in servicing network -authentication requests. The BDC is biased to answer logon requests in preference to the PDC. -On a network segment that has a BDC and a PDC the BDC will be most likely to service network -logon requests. The PDC will answer network logon requests when the BDC is too busy (high load). -A BDC can be promoted to a PDC. If the PDC is on line at the time that a BDC is promoted to -PDC, the previous PDC is automatically demoted to a BDC. With Samba-3 this is NOT an automatic -operation; the PDC and BDC must be manually configured and changes need to be made likewise. -</p><p> -With MS Windows NT4, it is an install time decision what type of machine the server will be. -It is possible to change the promote a BDC to a PDC and vice versa only, but the only way -to convert a domain controller to a domain member server or a stand-alone server is to -reinstall it.

The difference is that a distributable authentication -database is associated with a domain, for secure login access to a -network. Also, different access rights can be granted to users if they -successfully authenticate against a domain logon server. Samba-3 does this -now in the same way that MS Windows NT/2K. -</p><p> -The SMB client logging on to a domain has an expectation that every other -server in the domain should accept the same authentication information. -Network browsing functionality of domains and workgroups is identical and -is explained in this documentation under the browsing discussions. -It should be noted, that browsing is totally orthogonal to logon support. -</p><p> -Issues related to the single-logon network model are discussed in this -section. Samba supports domain logons, network logon scripts, and user -profiles for MS Windows for workgroups and MS Windows 9X/ME clients -which are the focus of this section. -</p><p> -When an SMB client in a domain wishes to logon, it broadcasts requests for a -logon server. The first one to reply gets the job, and validates its -password using whatever mechanism the Samba administrator has installed. -It is possible (but ill advised ) to create a domain where the user -database is not shared between servers, i.e. they are effectively workgroup -servers advertising themselves as participating in a domain. This -demonstrates how authentication is quite different from but closely -involved with domains. -</p><p> -Using these features you can make your clients verify their logon via -the Samba server; make clients run a batch file when they logon to -the network and download their preferences, desktop and start menu. -</p><p><span class="emphasis"><em> -MS Windows XP Home edition is NOT able to join a domain and does not permit -the use of domain logons. -</em></span></p><p> -Before launching into the configuration instructions, it is -worthwhile to look at how a Windows 9x/ME client performs a logon: -</p><div class="orderedlist"><ol type="1"><li><p> - The client broadcasts (to the IP broadcast address of the subnet it is in) - a NetLogon request. This is sent to the NetBIOS name DOMAIN<#1c> at the - NetBIOS layer. The client chooses the first response it receives, which - contains the NetBIOS name of the logon server to use in the format of - <tt class="filename">\\SERVER</tt>. - </p></li><li><p> - The client then connects to that server, logs on (does an SMBsessetupX) and - then connects to the IPC$ share (using an SMBtconX). - </p></li><li><p> - The client then does a NetWkstaUserLogon request, which retrieves the name - of the user's logon script. - </p></li><li><p> - The client then connects to the NetLogon share and searches for said script - and if it is found and can be read, is retrieved and executed by the client. - After this, the client disconnects from the NetLogon share. - </p></li><li><p> - The client then sends a NetUserGetInfo request to the server, to retrieve - the user's home share, which is used to search for profiles. Since the - response to the NetUserGetInfo request does not contain much more than - the user's home share, profiles for Win9X clients MUST reside in the user - home directory. - </p></li><li><p> - The client then connects to the user's home share and searches for the - user's profile. As it turns out, you can specify the user's home share as - a sharename and path. For example, <tt class="filename">\\server\fred\.winprofile</tt>. - If the profiles are found, they are implemented. - </p></li><li><p> - The client then disconnects from the user's home share, and reconnects to - the NetLogon share and looks for <tt class="filename">CONFIG.POL</tt>, the policies file.

There has been much debate over the issue of whether -or not it is ok to configure Samba as a Domain Controller in security -modes other than <tt class="constant">USER</tt>. The only security mode -which will not work due to technical reasons is <tt class="constant">SHARE</tt> -mode security. <tt class="constant">DOMAIN</tt> and <tt class="constant">SERVER</tt> -mode security are really just a variation on SMB user level security. -</p><p> -Actually, this issue is also closely tied to the debate on whether -or not Samba must be the domain master browser for its workgroup -when operating as a DC. While it may technically be possible -to configure a server as such (after all, browsing and domain logons -are two distinctly different functions), it is not a good idea to do -so. You should remember that the DC must register the DOMAIN<#1b> NetBIOS -name. This is the name used by Windows clients to locate the DC. -Windows clients do not distinguish between the DC and the DMB. -A DMB is a Domain Master Browser - see <a href="NetworkBrowsing.html#DMB" title="Setting up WORKGROUP Browsing">Domain Master Browser</a>. -For this reason, it is very wise to configure the Samba DC as the DMB. -</p><p> -Now back to the issue of configuring a Samba DC to use a mode other -than <a class="indexterm" name="id2888773"></a><i class="parameter"><tt>security</tt></i> = user. If a Samba host is configured to use -another SMB server or DC in order to validate user connection -requests, then it is a fact that some other machine on the network -(the <a class="indexterm" name="id2888790"></a><i class="parameter"><tt>password server</tt></i>) knows more about the user than the Samba host. -99% of the time, this other host is a domain controller. Now -in order to operate in domain mode security, the <a class="indexterm" name="id2888808"></a><i class="parameter"><tt>workgroup</tt></i> parameter -must be set to the name of the Windows NT domain (which already -has a domain controller). If the domain does NOT already have a Domain Controller -then you do not yet have a Domain! -</p><p> -Configuring a Samba box as a DC for a domain that already by definition has a -PDC is asking for trouble. Therefore, you should always configure the Samba DC -to be the DMB for its domain and set <a class="indexterm" name="id2888832"></a><i class="parameter"><tt>security</tt></i> = user. -This is the only officially supported mode of operation. -</p></div></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2888850"></a>Common Errors</h2></div></div><div></div></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2888857"></a>'$' cannot be included in machine name</h3></div></div><div></div></div><p> -A 'machine account', (typically) stored in <tt class="filename">/etc/passwd</tt>, -takes the form of the machine name with a '$' appended.
