I would like to migrate some of my Samba 3.x domains to Samba 4. Part of
the functionality of the current system is allowing some Windows XP Pro
computers, which are not joined to the domain, access to some public
shares on the Samba server. I tried using "map to guest = bad user" with
Samba 4 - but it appears to be completely ignored and the Windows XP
machine keeps on prompting for username/password when trying to access
the server share. Has this option been dropped in Samba 4? Is there
another way to accomplish the same?
This sounds correct. This isn't currently supported against the AD DC.
Guest access to the domain should be based on the 'guest' account being
enabled, but this isn't hooked in either.
Otherwise my Samba 4 domain seems to be working fine - and the Windows
XP Pro machines which are joined to it can access the share fine.
As a side note, I find it hard to figure out which smb.conf options are
still available for Samba 4 and which are not. I've googled around and
can't seem to find a wiki page or authoritative page.
You have hit one of the areas where this isn't well documented.
Sorry,
Thanks Andrew. It is at least useful I can come here and find out what
can and can't work at the moment. I'll just have to postpone installing
Samba 4 at sites where I can't do the whole conversion to domain in one
step.
Many thanks,
Sebastian
