In FreeIPA, ID views allow administrators to override default POSIX attributes for users and groups. This feature is useful when integrating with other identity management systems, enabling specific attribute values to be used on a per-host basis. This way, different POSIX attributes can be set for the same user or group in different contexts.

Thesmbclientcommand is used to access shared resources on a server running the SMB/CIFS protocol. To authenticate using an existing Kerberos token, the-koption is used. This instructssmbclientto use Kerberos for authentication, assuming that the user already has a valid Kerberos ticket (usually obtained via thekinitcommand).

Example:

smbclient //server/share -k

Kerberos Authentication with Samba

The Kerberos configuration file, typically located at/etc/krb5.conf, contains several sections, each with different settings that control the behavior of Kerberos. Thelibdefaultssection is where default settings for Kerberos libraries are defined, and it may include thedefault_realmoption.

Example:

[libdefaults]default_realm= EXAMPLE.COMdns_lookup_realm=falsedns_lookup_kdc=true

Samba is a suite of programs that allows SMB/CIFS clients to interact with file and print services on a Linux/UNIX server.

smbdis the Samba daemon responsible for handling SMB/CIFS requests.

Thesmbcontrolutility is used to send messages to running Samba daemons.

The correct way to terminate all running instances of the Samba daemon handling SMB shares is to send a shutdown message tosmbdusing the commandsmbcontrol smbd shutdown.

This command ensures that only thesmbdprocesses, which are responsible for handling SMB shares, are terminated without affecting other Samba components likenmbd(NetBIOS name server daemon).

The--type adspecifies the type of the trust,addomis the domain name,--admin Administratorspecifies the AD administrator account, and--passwordprompts for the administrator's password.

The complete command looks like this:

CN=Users Container:

GPOs:Group Policy Objects (GPOs) cannot be linked to this container because it is not an Organizational Unit (OU). GPOs can only be applied to OUs.

Default Location:New users are created in theCN=Userscontainer by default when using standard Active Directory tools unless specified otherwise.

Other Options:

Users outside this container can log in.

The container can contain both user objects and user groups.

Users created here do not need to be moved to log in.

dns forwarder:This smb.conf option specifies the DNS server to which queries should be forwarded if they cannot be resolved locally by the Samba server.

Configuration:

Adddns forwarder = <additional_DNS_server_IP>to smb.conf on the Samba server.

Ensure all clients are configured to query the Samba server for DNS information.

Process:

Clients send all DNS queries to the Samba server.

If the Samba server cannot resolve a query locally, it forwards the request to the additional DNS server.

Benefit:This ensures that all DNS records, including those from the Active Directory domain and other DNS information, can be resolved by the clients.
