Hi Thierry, list,

I would like to revive this discussion from last month. I started a new discussion on the samba mailinglist on the "password server =" subject. Please see here:

https://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2017-June/208999.html

The outcome of that discussion is that the samba team (specifically Rowland Penny and Andrew Bartlett) recommend that the "password server =" line better be removed from the packetfence generated smb.conf.

I wanted to have confirmation of the samba developpers, before asking that here.

I think it would improve packetfence if the line was removed from the generated config. And if you are not willing to do that, is there a place where I can perhaps edit a template to comment it out on our own installation?

Best regards!

MJ

Hi MJ,

1-In PacketFence Admin, under domains configuration, clone your current
domain configuration.

2- Change the IP address of the ActiveDirectory Server by it's DNS name.
Rejoin the domain from each PacketFence server.

3-Make sure that the DNS server in the configuration can resolve that
domain name. (If you need multiple DNS server, this got introduced
recently: https://github.com/inverse-inc/packetfence/pull/2223/files)


The resulting configuration change:

/etc/krb5.conf:
[...]
[libdefaults]
     default_realm = domainname.local

[...]


/chroots/domainname/etc/samba/domainname.conf

[...]

password server = domainname.local


Uppercase/Lowercase realm is not problematic.


Regards,
