Active Directory Authentication

I need to blog more about my nefarious methods by which I make Windows and Unix play nice, but this link today was invaluable in getting an Ubuntu server talking to our AD install at work.

A few points of note:

  • Step 3.1 should be preceeded by mv /etc/samba/smb.conf etc/samba/smb.conf-dist
  • PAM settings work, but if you’re only doing one domain remove the %D from “template homedir”
