<CODE
CLASS="CONSTANT"
>SERV1</CODE
> and are joining an or Win2k NT domain called
<CODE
CLASS="CONSTANT"
>DOM</CODE
>, which has a PDC with a NetBIOS name
of <CODE
CLASS="CONSTANT"
>DOMPDC</CODE
> and two backup domain controllers
with NetBIOS names <CODE
CLASS="CONSTANT"
>DOMBDC1</CODE
> and <CODE
CLASS="CONSTANT"
>DOMBDC2
</CODE
>.</P
><P
>Firstly, you must edit your <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>smb.conf</TT
> file to tell Samba it should
now use domain security.</P
><P
>Change (or add) your <A
HREF="smb.conf.5.html#SECURITY"
TARGET="_top"
> <VAR
CLASS="PARAMETER"
>security =</VAR
></A
> line in the [global] section
of your <TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>smb.conf</TT
> to read:</P
><P
><B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>security = domain</B
></P
><P
>Next change the <A
HREF="smb.conf.5.html#WORKGROUP"
TARGET="_top"
><VAR
CLASS="PARAMETER"
> workgroup =</VAR
></A
> line in the [global] section to read: </P
><P
><B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>workgroup = DOM</B
></P
><P
>as this is the name of the domain we are joining. </P
><P
>You must also have the parameter <A
HREF="smb.conf.5.html#ENCRYPTPASSWORDS"
TARGET="_top"
> <VAR
CLASS="PARAMETER"
>encrypt passwords</VAR
></A
> set to <CODE
CLASS="CONSTANT"
>yes
</CODE
> in order for your users to authenticate to the NT PDC.</P
><P
>Finally, add (or modify) a <A
HREF="smb.conf.5.html#PASSWORDSERVER"
TARGET="_top"
> <VAR
CLASS="PARAMETER"
>password server =</VAR
></A
> line in the [global]
section to read: </P
><P
><B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>password server = DOMPDC DOMBDC1 DOMBDC2</B
></P
><P
>These are the primary and backup domain controllers Samba
will attempt to contact in order to authenticate users. Samba will
try to contact each of these servers in order, so you may want to
rearrange this list in order to spread out the authentication load
among domain controllers.</P
><P
>Alternatively, if you want smbd to automatically determine
the list of Domain controllers to use for authentication, you may
set this line to be :</P
><P
><B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>password server = *</B
></P
><P
>This method, allows Samba to use exactly the same
mechanism that NT does. This
method either broadcasts or uses a WINS database in order to
find domain controllers to authenticate against.</P
><P
>In order to actually join the domain, you must run this
command:</P
><P
><SAMP
CLASS="PROMPT"
>root# </SAMP
><KBD
CLASS="USERINPUT"
>net rpc join -S DOMPDC
-U<VAR
CLASS="REPLACEABLE"
>Administrator%password</VAR
></KBD
></P
><P
>as we are joining the domain DOM and the PDC for that domain
(the only machine that has write access to the domain SAM database)
is DOMPDC. The <VAR
CLASS="REPLACEABLE"
>Administrator%password</VAR
> is
the login name and password for an account which has the necessary
privilege to add machines to the domain. If this is successful
you will see the message:</P
><P
><SAMP
CLASS="COMPUTEROUTPUT"
>Joined domain DOM.</SAMP
>
or <SAMP
CLASS="COMPUTEROUTPUT"
>Joined 'SERV1' to realm 'MYREALM'</SAMP
>
</P
><P
>in your terminal window. See the <A
HREF="net.8.html"
TARGET="_top"
> net(8)</A
> man page for more details.</P
><P
>This process joins the server to thedomain
without having to create the machine trust account on the PDC
beforehand.</P
><P
>This command goes through the machine account password
change protocol, then writes the new (random) machine account
password for this Samba server into a file in the same directory
in which an smbpasswd file would be stored - normally :</P
><P
><TT
CLASS="FILENAME"
>/usr/local/samba/private/secrets.tdb</TT
></P
><P
>This file is created and owned by root and is not
readable by any other user. It is the key to the domain-level
security for your system, and should be treated as carefully
as a shadow password file.</P
><P
>Finally, restart your Samba daemons and get ready for
clients to begin using domain security!</P

CLASS="SECT1"

CLASS="SECT1"

NAME="AEN1501"
>10.2. Why is this better than security = server?</A
></H1
><P
>Currently, domain security in Samba doesn't free you from
having to create local Unix users to represent the users attaching
to your server. This means that if domain user <CODE
CLASS="CONSTANT"
>DOM\fred
</CODE
> attaches to your domain security Samba server, there needs
to be a local Unix user fred to represent that user in the Unix
filesystem. This is very similar to the older Samba security mode
<A
HREF="smb.conf.5.html#SECURITYEQUALSSERVER"
TARGET="_top"
>security = server</A
>,
where Samba would pass through the authentication request to a Windows
NT server in the same way as a Windows 95 or Windows 98 server would.
</P
><P
>Please refer to the <A
HREF="winbind.html"
TARGET="_top"
>Winbind
paper</A
> for information on a system to automatically
assign UNIX uids and gids to Windows NT Domain users and groups.
This code is available in development branches only at the moment,
but will be moved to release branches soon.</P
><P
>The advantage to domain-level security is that the
authentication in domain-level security is passed down the authenticated
RPC channel in exactly the same way that an NT server would do it. This
means Samba servers now participate in domain trust relationships in
exactly the same way NT servers do (i.e., you can add Samba servers into
a resource domain and have the authentication passed on from a resource
domain PDC to an account domain PDC.</P
><P
>In addition, with <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>security = server</B
> every Samba
daemon on a server has to keep a connection open to the
authenticating server for as long as that daemon lasts. This can drain
the connection resources on a Microsoft NT server and cause it to run
out of available connections. With <B
CLASS="COMMAND"
>security = domain</B
>,
however, the Samba daemons connect to the PDC/BDC only for as long
as is necessary to authenticate the user, and then drop the connection,
thus conserving PDC connection resources.</P
><P
>And finally, acting in the same manner as an NT server
authenticating to a PDC means that as part of the authentication
reply, the Samba server gets the user identification information such
as the user SID, the list of NT groups the user belongs to, etc. </P
