With 9-10.1 mdk there is an option during setup to use samba - I chose this method for passwd authentication and then after installation I used the command 'smbpasswd -j DOMAIN -U username' (which I believe is now deprecated in samba to net join?). So really I have no idea what changes are made to the system to prepare for this command once mdk boots up.

Ideally one should be able to use something like msntauth to pull authentication from the pdc the without actually joining the domain, but I don't know if that is possible. I think you have to add a computer account on the domain controller and then join the domain with net join then finally use something like msntauth for the auth?? (and possibly a hosts entry for DNS resolution of the domain comtroller) In other words I was hoping you could tell me, as I don't know :) But it would be really great if this were set up via the web interface - 'shameless plug for help' - lol.

Then again it may not have to be in the web interface if I better understood the process with samba and squid...

thanks

hundreds NT domains available here :o)

I have been trying to get squid setup with manual authentication against
my windows 2000 domain controller.  This active directory domain

not be a problem - but the only entry for samba is a "samba workgroup".
This really doesn't help me to join the domain to aquire authentication.

I think mnf2 is really lacking in this area of manual authentication
setup and documentation.  LDAP is not really an option when trying to
authenticate and the AD option only works if one installs services for
unix...


I sort of agree with you here ... there is an authentication module
for winnt in squid (rpm -ql squid|grep auth). Maybe you should try to
configure it manually ... if you don't know hos, let me know, I'll
help you so you can test it and then I will add to the web interface.
How's that ?



I need serious help getting authentication against my w2k server.

Thanks


cheers,

That'd be great! You are the Man, and are always going above and beyond.

I already tried that a couple days ago (I think). Using the net join
command - apparently the smbpasswd -j DOMAIN has been deprecated?
Anyway, it didn't seem to work for me, but maybe I did something wrong,
can you walk me through the general idea and get me started??  (I have
joined the domain using mdk 9-10.1 many times so I know it can work)

Do I create the computer account first on the domain controller?

Do I need to set up the web based proxy with auth before joining the
domain? -- does it matter?

My setup is:
Eth0 = wan
Eth1 = lan
Eth2 = auth  (since the domain controller is on another physically
seperated network - I only use this interface for the domain
authentication, ssh'ing the firewall and web administration)

I hope this makes sense.
