- Integration of UNIX and Microsoft Windows NT through a unified logon has
- been considered a &#8220;<span class="quote">holy grail</span>&#8221; in heterogeneous computing environments for
- a long time.
- </p><p>
- There is one other facility without which UNIX and Microsoft Windows network
- interoperability would suffer greatly. It is imperative that there be a
- mechanism for sharing files across UNIX systems and to be able to assign
- domain user and group ownerships with integrity.
- </p><p>
- <span class="emphasis"><em>winbind</em></span> is a component of the Samba suite of programs that
- solves the unified logon problem. Winbind uses a UNIX implementation of Microsoft
- RPC calls, Pluggable Authentication Modules, and the Name Service Switch to
- allow Windows NT domain users to appear and operate as UNIX users on a UNIX
- machine. This chapter describes the Winbind system, explaining the functionality
- it provides, how it is configured, and how it works internally.
- </p><p>
- Winbind provides three separate functions:
- </p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>
- Authentication of user credentials (via PAM).
- </p></li><li><p>
- Identity resolution (via NSS).
- </p></li><li><p>
- Winbind maintains a database called winbind_idmap.tdb in which it stores
- mappings between UNIX UIDs / GIDs and NT SIDs. This mapping is used only
- for users and groups that do not have a local UID/GID. It stored the UID/GID
- allocated from the idmap uid/gid range that it has mapped to the NT SID.
- If <i class="parameter"><tt>idmap backend</tt></i> has been specified as ldapsam:url
- then instead of using a local mapping Winbind will obtain this information
- from the LDAP database.
- </p></li></ul></div><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
- If <b class="command">winbindd</b> is not running, smbd (which calls <b class="command">winbindd</b>) will fall back to
- using purely local information from <tt class="filename">/etc/passwd</tt> and <tt class="filename">/etc/group</tt> and no dynamic
- mapping will be used.
- </p></div></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2949476"></a>Introduction</h2></div></div><div></div></div><p>It is well known that UNIX and Microsoft Windows NT have
- different models for representing user and group information and
- use different technologies for implementing them. This fact has
- made it difficult to integrate the two systems in a satisfactory
- manner.</p><p>One common solution in use today has been to create
- identically named user accounts on both the UNIX and Windows systems
- and use the Samba suite of programs to provide file and print services
- between the two. This solution is far from perfect, however, as
- adding and deleting users on both sets of machines becomes a chore
- and two sets of passwords are required both of which
- can lead to synchronization problems between the UNIX and Windows
- systems and confusion for users.</p><p>We divide the unified logon problem for UNIX machines into
- three smaller problems:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul type="disc"><li><p>Obtaining Windows NT user and group information.
- </p></li><li><p>Authenticating Windows NT users.
- </p></li><li><p>Password changing for Windows NT users.
- </p></li></ul></div><p>Ideally, a prospective solution to the unified logon problem
- would satisfy all the above components without duplication of
- information on the UNIX machines and without creating additional
- tasks for the system administrator when maintaining users and
- groups on either system. The Winbind system provides a simple
- and elegant solution to all three components of the unified logon
- problem.</p></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2949558"></a>What Winbind Provides</h2></div></div><div></div></div><p>Winbind unifies UNIX and Windows NT account management by
- allowing a UNIX box to become a full member of an NT domain. Once
- this is done the UNIX box will see NT users and groups as if
- they were &#8220;<span class="quote">native</span>&#8221; UNIX users and groups, allowing the NT domain
- to be used in much the same manner that NIS+ is used within
- UNIX-only environments.</p><p>The end result is that whenever any
- program on the UNIX machine asks the operating system to lookup
- a user or group name, the query will be resolved by asking the
- NT Domain Controller for the specified domain to do the lookup.
- Because Winbind hooks into the operating system at a low level
- (via the NSS name resolution modules in the C library), this
- redirection to the NT Domain Controller is completely
- transparent.</p><p>Users on the UNIX machine can then use NT user and group
- names as they would &#8220;<span class="quote">native</span>&#8221; UNIX names. They can chown files
- so they are owned by NT domain users or even login to the
- UNIX machine and run a UNIX X-Window session as a domain user.</p><p>The only obvious indication that Winbind is being used is
- that user and group names take the form <tt class="constant">DOMAIN\user</tt> and
- <tt class="constant">DOMAIN\group</tt>. This is necessary as it allows Winbind to determine
- that redirection to a Domain Controller is wanted for a particular
- lookup and which trusted domain is being referenced.</p><p>Additionally, Winbind provides an authentication service
- that hooks into the Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) system
- to provide authentication via an NT domain to any PAM-enabled
- applications. This capability solves the problem of synchronizing
- passwords between systems since all passwords are stored in a single
- location (on the Domain Controller).</p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2949633"></a>Target Uses</h3></div></div><div></div></div><p>Winbind is targeted at organizations that have an
- existing NT-based domain infrastructure into which they wish
- to put UNIX workstations or servers. Winbind will allow these
- organizations to deploy UNIX workstations without having to
- maintain a separate account infrastructure. This greatly
- simplifies the administrative overhead of deploying UNIX
- workstations into an NT-based organization.</p><p>Another interesting way in which we expect Winbind to
- be used is as a central part of UNIX-based appliances. Appliances
- that provide file and print services to Microsoft-based networks
- will be able to use Winbind to provide seamless integration of
- the appliance into the domain.</p></div></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2949664"></a>How Winbind Works</h2></div></div><div></div></div><p>The Winbind system is designed around a client/server
- architecture. A long running <b class="command">winbindd</b> daemon
- listens on a UNIX domain socket waiting for requests
- to arrive. These requests are generated by the NSS and PAM
- clients and is processed sequentially.</p><p>The technologies used to implement Winbind are described
- in detail below.</p><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2949693"></a>Microsoft Remote Procedure Calls</h3></div></div><div></div></div><p>Over the last few years, efforts have been underway
- by various Samba Team members to decode various aspects of
- the Microsoft Remote Procedure Call (MSRPC) system. This
- system is used for most network-related operations between
- Windows NT machines including remote management, user authentication
- and print spooling. Although initially this work was done
- to aid the implementation of Primary Domain Controller (PDC)
- functionality in Samba, it has also yielded a body of code that
- can be used for other purposes.</p><p>Winbind uses various MSRPC calls to enumerate domain users
- and groups and to obtain detailed information about individual
- users or groups. Other MSRPC calls can be used to authenticate
- NT domain users and to change user passwords. By directly querying
- a Windows PDC for user and group information, Winbind maps the
- NT account information onto UNIX user and group names.</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2949726"></a>Microsoft Active Directory Services</h3></div></div><div></div></div><p>
- Since late 2001, Samba has gained the ability to
- interact with Microsoft Windows 2000 using its &#8220;<span class="quote">Native
- Mode</span>&#8221; protocols, rather than the NT4 RPC services.
- Using LDAP and Kerberos, a Domain Member running
- Winbind can enumerate users and groups in exactly the
- same way as a Windows 200x client would, and in so doing
- provide a much more efficient and effective Winbind implementation.
- </p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2949752"></a>Name Service Switch</h3></div></div><div></div></div><p>The Name Service Switch, or NSS, is a feature that is
- present in many UNIX operating systems. It allows system
- information such as hostnames, mail aliases and user information
- to be resolved from different sources. For example, a standalone
- UNIX workstation may resolve system information from a series of
- flat files stored on the local filesystem. A networked workstation
- may first attempt to resolve system information from local files,
- and then consult an NIS database for user information or a DNS server
- for hostname information.</p><p>The NSS application programming interface allows Winbind
- to present itself as a source of system information when
- resolving UNIX usernames and groups. Winbind uses this interface,
- and information obtained from a Windows NT server using MSRPC
- calls to provide a new source of account enumeration. Using standard
- UNIX library calls, one can enumerate the users and groups on
- a UNIX machine running Winbind and see all users and groups in
- a NT domain plus any trusted domain as though they were local
- users and groups.</p><p>The primary control file for NSS is
- <tt class="filename">/etc/nsswitch.conf</tt>.
- When a UNIX application makes a request to do a lookup,
- the C library looks in <tt class="filename">/etc/nsswitch.conf</tt>
- for a line that matches the service type being requested, for
- example the &#8220;<span class="quote">passwd</span>&#8221; service type is used when user or group names
- are looked up. This config line specifies which implementations
- of that service should be tried and in what order. If the passwd
- config line is:</p><pre class="screen">
- passwd: files example
- </pre><p>then the C library will first load a module called
- <tt class="filename">/lib/libnss_files.so</tt> followed by
- the module <tt class="filename">/lib/libnss_example.so</tt>. The
- C library will dynamically load each of these modules in turn
- and call resolver functions within the modules to try to resolve
- the request. Once the request is resolved, the C library returns the
- result to the application.</p><p>This NSS interface provides an easy way for Winbind
- to hook into the operating system. All that needs to be done
- is to put <tt class="filename">libnss_winbind.so</tt> in <tt class="filename">/lib/</tt>
- then add &#8220;<span class="quote">winbind</span>&#8221; into <tt class="filename">/etc/nsswitch.conf</tt> at
- the appropriate place. The C library will then call Winbind to
- resolve user and group names.</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2949887"></a>Pluggable Authentication Modules</h3></div></div><div></div></div><p>Pluggable Authentication Modules, also known as PAM,
- is a system for abstracting authentication and authorization
- technologies. With a PAM module it is possible to specify different
- authentication methods for different system applications without
- having to recompile these applications. PAM is also useful
- for implementing a particular policy for authorization. For example,
- a system administrator may only allow console logins from users
- stored in the local password file but only allow users resolved from
- a NIS database to log in over the network.</p><p>Winbind uses the authentication management and password
- management PAM interface to integrate Windows NT users into a
- UNIX system. This allows Windows NT users to log in to a UNIX
- machine and be authenticated against a suitable Primary Domain
- Controller. These users can also change their passwords and have
- this change take effect directly on the Primary Domain Controller.
- </p><p>PAM is configured by providing control files in the directory
- <tt class="filename">/etc/pam.d/</tt> for each of the services that
- require authentication. When an authentication request is made
- by an application, the PAM code in the C library looks up this
- control file to determine what modules to load to do the
- authentication check and in what order. This interface makes adding
- a new authentication service for Winbind very easy. All that needs
- to be done is that the <tt class="filename">pam_winbind.so</tt> module
- is copied to <tt class="filename">/lib/security/</tt> and the PAM
- control files for relevant services are updated to allow
- authentication via Winbind. See the PAM documentation
- in <link linkend="pam"> for more information.</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2949965"></a>User and Group ID Allocation</h3></div></div><div></div></div><p>When a user or group is created under Windows NT/200x
- it is allocated a numerical relative identifier (RID). This is
- slightly different from UNIX which has a range of numbers that are
- used to identify users, and the same range in which to identify
- groups. It is Winbind's job to convert RIDs to UNIX ID numbers and
- vice versa. When Winbind is configured, it is given part of the UNIX
- user ID space and a part of the UNIX group ID space in which to
- store Windows NT users and groups. If a Windows NT user is
- resolved for the first time, it is allocated the next UNIX ID from
- the range. The same process applies for Windows NT groups. Over
- time, Winbind will have mapped all Windows NT users and groups
- to UNIX user IDs and group IDs.</p><p>The results of this mapping are stored persistently in
- an ID mapping database held in a tdb database). This ensures that
- RIDs are mapped to UNIX IDs in a consistent way.</p></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2949998"></a>Result Caching</h3></div></div><div></div></div><p>
-<a class="indexterm" name="id2950010"></a>
- An active system can generate a lot of user and group
- name lookups. To reduce the network cost of these lookups, Winbind
- uses a caching scheme based on the SAM sequence number supplied
- by NT Domain Controllers. User or group information returned
- by a PDC is cached by Winbind along with a sequence number also
- returned by the PDC. This sequence number is incremented by
- Windows NT whenever any user or group information is modified. If
- a cached entry has expired, the sequence number is requested from
- the PDC and compared against the sequence number of the cached entry.
- If the sequence numbers do not match, then the cached information
- is discarded and up-to-date information is requested directly
- from the PDC.</p></div></div><div class="sect1" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h2 class="title" style="clear: both"><a name="id2950035"></a>Installation and Configuration</h2></div></div><div></div></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2950042"></a>Introduction</h3></div></div><div></div></div><p>
-This section describes the procedures used to get Winbind up and

- This document is designed for system administrators. If you are

- </p></li></ul></div></div><div class="sect2" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h3 class="title"><a name="id2950108"></a>Requirements</h3></div></div><div></div></div><p>
-If you have a Samba configuration file that you are currently using, <span class="emphasis"><em>BACK IT UP!</em></span>
-If your system already uses PAM, <span class="emphasis"><em>back up the <tt class="filename">/etc/pam.d</tt> directory
-contents!</em></span> If you haven't already made a boot disk, <span class="emphasis"><em>MAKE ONE NOW!</em></span>
-</p><p>
-Messing with the PAM configuration files can make it nearly impossible to log in to your machine. That's
-why you want to be able to boot back into your machine in single user mode and restore your
-<tt class="filename">/etc/pam.d</tt> back to the original state they were in if you get frustrated with the

-</p><p>
-The latest version of Samba-3 includes a functioning winbindd daemon. Please refer to the <ulink url="http://samba.org/">main Samba Web page</ulink> or, better yet, your closest Samba mirror site for
-instructions on downloading the source code.
-</p><p>
-To allow domain users the ability to access Samba shares and files, as well as potentially other services
-provided by your Samba machine, PAM must be set up properly on your
-machine. In order to compile the Winbind modules, you should have at least the PAM development libraries installed
-on your system. Please refer the PAM web site <ulink url="http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/">http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/libs/pam/</ulink>.

-Before starting, it is probably best to kill off all the Samba-related daemons running on your server.
-Kill off all <span class="application">smbd</span>, <span class="application">nmbd</span>, and <span class="application">winbindd</span> processes that may be running. To use PAM,
-make sure that you have the standard PAM package that supplies the <tt class="filename">/etc/pam.d</tt>
-directory structure, including the PAM modules that are used by PAM-aware services, several pam libraries,
-and the <tt class="filename">/usr/doc</tt> and <tt class="filename">/usr/man</tt> entries for pam. Winbind built
-better in Samba if the pam-devel package is also installed. This package includes the header files
-needed to compile PAM-aware applications.
-</p><div class="sect3" lang="en"><div class="titlepage"><div><div><h4 class="title"><a name="id2950252"></a>Configure <tt class="filename">nsswitch.conf</tt> and the Winbind Libraries on Linux and Solaris</h4></div></div><div></div></div><p>
-PAM is a standard component of most current generation UNIX/Linux systems. Unfortunately, few systems install
-the <tt class="filename">pam-devel</tt> libraries that are needed to build PAM-enabled Samba. Additionally, Samba-3
-may auto-install the Winbind files into their correct locations on your system, so before you get too far down
-the track be sure to check if the following configuration is really
-necessary. You may only need to configure
-<tt class="filename">/etc/nsswitch.conf</tt>.
-</p><p>
-The libraries needed to run the <span class="application">winbindd</span> daemon through nsswitch need to be copied to their proper locations:
-</p><p>
-</p><pre class="screen">
-<tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>cp ../samba/source/nsswitch/libnss_winbind.so /lib</tt></b>
-</pre><p>
-</p><p>
-I also found it necessary to make the following symbolic link:
-</p><p>
-<tt class="prompt">root# </tt> <b class="userinput"><tt>ln -s /lib/libnss_winbind.so /lib/libnss_winbind.so.2</tt></b>
-</p><p>And, in the case of Sun Solaris:</p><pre class="screen">
-<tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>ln -s /usr/lib/libnss_winbind.so /usr/lib/libnss_winbind.so.1</tt></b>
-<tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>ln -s /usr/lib/libnss_winbind.so /usr/lib/nss_winbind.so.1</tt></b>
-<tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>ln -s /usr/lib/libnss_winbind.so /usr/lib/nss_winbind.so.2</tt></b>
-</pre><p>
-Now, as root you need to edit <tt class="filename">/etc/nsswitch.conf</tt> to
-allow user and group entries to be visible from the <span class="application">winbindd</span>
-daemon. My <tt class="filename">/etc/nsswitch.conf</tt> file look like
-this after editing:
-</p><pre class="programlisting">
- passwd: files winbind
- shadow: files
- group: files winbind
-</pre><p>
-The libraries needed by the <b class="command">winbindd</b> daemon will be automatically
-entered into the <b class="command">ldconfig</b> cache the next time
-your system reboots, but it is faster (and you do not need to reboot) if you do it manually:
-</p><p>
-<tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>/sbin/ldconfig -v | grep winbind</tt></b>
-</p><p>
-This makes <tt class="filename">libnss_winbind</tt> available to winbindd

-can then be added to <tt class="filename">/usr/lib/security/methods.cfg</tt>. This module only supports

-Eventually, you will want to modify your Samba startup script to
-automatically invoke the winbindd daemon when the other parts of
-Samba start, but it is possible to test out just the Winbind
-portion first. To start up Winbind services, enter the following
-command as root:
-</p><p>
-<tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>/usr/local/samba/bin/winbindd</tt></b>
-</p><div class="note" style="margin-left: 0.5in; margin-right: 0.5in;"><h3 class="title">Note</h3><p>
-The above assumes that Samba has been installed in the <tt class="filename">/usr/local/samba</tt>
-directory tree. You may need to search for the location of Samba files if this is not the
-location of <b class="command">winbindd</b> on your system.
-</p></div><p>
-Winbindd can now also run in &#8220;<span class="quote">dual daemon modei</span>&#8221;. This will make it
-run as two processes. The first will answer all requests from the cache,
-thus making responses to clients faster. The other will
-update the cache for the query that the first has just responded.
-The advantage of this is that responses stay accurate and are faster.
-You can enable dual daemon mode by adding <tt class="option">-B</tt> to the commandline:
-</p><p>
-<tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>/usr/local/samba/bin/winbindd -B</tt></b>
-</p><p>
-I'm always paranoid and like to make sure the daemon is really running.
-</p><p>
-<tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>ps -ae | grep winbindd</tt></b>
-</p><p>
-This command should produce output like this, if the daemon is running you would expect
-to see a report something like this:
-</p><pre class="screen">
-3025 ? 00:00:00 winbindd
-</pre><p>
-Now, for the real test, try to get some information about the users on your PDC:
-</p><p>
-<tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>/usr/local/samba/bin/wbinfo -u</tt></b>
-</p><p>
-This should echo back a list of users on your Windows users on
-your PDC. For example, I get the following response:
-</p><pre class="screen">
- CEO+Administrator
- CEO+burdell
- CEO+Guest
- CEO+jt-ad
- CEO+krbtgt
- CEO+TsInternetUser
-</pre><p>
-Obviously, I have named my domain &#8220;<span class="quote">CEO</span>&#8221; and my <a class="indexterm" name="id2950988"></a><i class="parameter"><tt>winbind separator</tt></i> is &#8220;<span class="quote">+</span>&#8221;.
-</p><p>
-You can do the same sort of thing to get group information from the PDC:
-</p><pre class="screen">
-<tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>/usr/local/samba/bin/wbinfo -g</tt></b>
- CEO+Domain Admins
- CEO+Domain Users
- CEO+Domain Guests
- CEO+Domain Computers
- CEO+Domain Controllers
- CEO+Cert Publishers
- CEO+Schema Admins
- CEO+Enterprise Admins
- CEO+Group Policy Creator Owners
-</pre><p>
-The function <b class="command">getent</b> can now be used to get unified
-lists of both local and PDC users and groups. Try the following command:
-</p><p>
-<tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>getent passwd</tt></b>
-</p><p>
-You should get a list that looks like your <tt class="filename">/etc/passwd</tt>
-list followed by the domain users with their new UIDs, GIDs, home
-directories and default shells.
-</p><p>
-The same thing can be done for groups with the command:
-</p><p>
-<tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>getent group</tt></b>

-You will need a PAM module to use winbindd with these other services. This

-</p><p>
-<tt class="prompt">root# </tt><b class="userinput"><tt>make nsswitch/pam_winbind.so</tt></b>
-</p><p>
-from the <tt class="filename">../source</tt> directory. The

-The <tt class="filename">/etc/pam.d/samba</tt> file does not need to be changed. I

-</p><pre class="programlisting">
- auth required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
- account required /lib/security/pam_stack.so service=system-auth
-</pre><p>
-The other services that I modified to allow the use of Winbind
-as an authentication service were the normal login on the console (or a terminal
-session), telnet logins, and ftp service. In order to enable these
-services, you may first need to change the entries in
-<tt class="filename">/etc/xinetd.d</tt> (or <tt class="filename">/etc/inetd.conf</tt>).
-Red Hat Linux 7.1 and later uses the new xinetd.d structure, in this case you need
-to change the lines in <tt class="filename">/etc/xinetd.d/telnet</tt>

-</p><pre class="programlisting">
- enable = no
-</pre><p>
-to:
-</p><pre class="programlisting">

-</pre><p>
-For ftp services to work properly, you will also need to either
-have individual directories for the domain users already present on
-the server, or change the home directory template to a general
-directory for all domain users. These can be easily set using
-the <tt class="filename">smb.conf</tt> global entry
-<a class="indexterm" name="id2951653"></a><i class="parameter"><tt>template homedir</tt></i>.
-</p><p>
-The <tt class="filename">/etc/pam.d/ftp</tt> file can be changed
-to allow Winbind ftp access in a manner similar to the
-samba file. My <tt class="filename">/etc/pam.d/ftp</tt> file was
-changed to look like this:
-</p><pre class="programlisting">
