Topic: SME to authenticate users on an openfiler box?

[unite07]

Grasomega.

I have configured sme as the domain controller and openfiler to authenticate against it.

openfiler sees the users and groups but when i try and set up a share using the openfiler account administration screen it gives this error:
ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)

i have not set up ldap, only NTDOM is set up.  

Has anyone got this to work not using ldap?

Hi, everybody,

Ok, I guess I overlooked this:

Before joining the domain,

1. on Openfiler's interface go to Services -> Enable/Disable and set SMB/CIFS to enable.
2. On SMB settings, set the Wins Server to the SME server name. Leave anything else to default.
3. Go to the Join the domain using NTDOM. Reset the account on SME. Rejoin - it should work even with Openfiler's Interface.

It should be working...

i am a newbe, what is mean :

Then you have to reset the computer account for Openfiler on SME:

Code:

smbpasswd -a -m Clientname$


Then rejoin the Openfiler to the SME Server Domain (on Openfiler):

Code:

net rpc join -S $smeserver -U admin


I do not understand .."Clientname$" and "$smeserver"

You can install the NIS contrib and use it for your authentication - I have it working and it seems to be all ok.

Can you give me the complete HowTo..

Hi everyone!

I have tested the Openfiler with SME server 7 and it worked like a charm.
I had no problem in getting the Openfiler to authenticate the users on SME Server.
First, you have to setup SME as a Domain Controller.
Join the Openfiler box to SME Domain using NTDOM, not ADS (see Openfiler docs: http://www.openfiler.com/docs/manual/#d0e1157 - 3.5.3. Windows Domain Controller Configuration).
Then you have to reset the computer account for Openfiler on SME:

Code: [Select]

smbpasswd -a -m Clientname$
Then rejoin the Openfiler to the SME Server Domain (on Openfiler):

Code: [Select]

net rpc join -S $smeserver -U admin
and enter the password.

I created then some file shares on Openfiler and I could setup ACLs based on SME users. They were respected and the users had access as set.

All the setup was made on a single server with VMware Server and virtual networking.

I hope this helps.

P.S. Many thanks to the SME Server team for their absolutely great product!

EDIT: I forgot the joining the domain step 

cause i'm a newbe,
could you give us a complete how to...
if you don't mind, help me with example

whats your configuration in openfiler?
I have the NIS working but I cannot open the folders.

Moving this topic to the SME 7.x contribs forum, it is more appropriate there. Thanks!

Since I search to openfiler and read that NIS is not to supported by the new openfiler... I like to ask if someone had configured openfiler with ldap and not using sme as PDC?

Thanks
