Public bug reported: 1. Install Ubuntu on a windows network 2. Configure GDM, there is nowhere to enter domain controller information 3. Try to login with MYDOMAIN\myusername and mypassword, login is refused
In a corporate environment it is unacceptable to expect administrators to create individual accounts for every user on every machine. It is also unacceptable to expect administrators to run a unix alternative. [ok, devils advocate mode disengaged] Is this a real concern to some people? Or am I just being silly? Would it be hard to support Windows domain logins if some people do want it? Obviously modifications to gdm would be required, even if it is just to spawn an external program to create a local account or synchronise the account with the domain controller if the login details entered are not acceptable. ** Affects: gdm (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- GDM does not accept Windows domain logins https://launchpad.net/bugs/73440 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
