To configure samba server such that it would work in two domains(Windows) simultaneously
To configure samba server to work in two domain(Windows)
step1:> open the configuration file /etc/samba/smb.conf
vim /etc/samba/smb.conf
In smb.conf;
workgroup = iop iocp
security = server
password server = dc.iop.com
:wq
Step2:> vim /etc/hosts
10.53.100.1 dc.iop.com
10.58.100.1 dc.ioc.com
:wq
Step3:> service smb restart
service network restart
step4:> chkconfig smb start
chkconfig network restart
It is explained as follows:
To make samba server work into two domains simultaneously the most important that there should be trust relationship between them. Example: Migration of older domain into a newer domain.
Now, workgroup = iop iocp
it means samba server establish connections with both domain since there is trust realationship established between two domain
security = server
it means that user authentication is directly from the domain controller. No requirement of password moment they log into either of domain.
password server = dc.iop.com
it means that dc.iop.com is existing domain and trust relationship is established between dc.iocp.com & dc.iop.com. So user created in existing domain can easily access samba server while migrating into newer domain. They can log into either of domain
