Re: [opensuse] suse 10.3-vmware login screen
Hi I got the authentication working, once I got it, I was unable to logon from command line using "Domain-name"\username, I wanted the login gui back, because I have seen it on other desktops that you can actually get to choose which domain you want to login to. I installed the vmware tools but same thing, still no login gui. Jonathan Ervine wrote:

Hi,
I am running one instance of Suse10.3, no problems there, since installation, I never got the login screen on gui mode, didn't care much, till now that I need to try to authenticate to a Windows domain, and I can't logon as a windows user to a suse desktop, I am trying to get to know how I can enable the login gui, unless there is a way to logon as a windows user from the command line?
Just so I'm clear, you're running openSUSE 10.3 in VMware and would like to enable Windows domain based authentication? [At the moment you don't have the GUI login - which is weird, because the VMware tools with the SUSE kernel-source, make, and gcc installed make that really easy]
You should be able to go into YaST - Network Services - Windows Domain Membership and follow the steps to join the SUSE system to the Windows domain and set up Windows domain based authentication. It's really quite straightforward and works for both NT4 style domains and Active Directory domains.
You'll need to make sure that your 10.3 VM can communicate with the domain, and that name resolution is working correctly - but assuming all that is ok, it should 'just work'.

In the YaST Control Center, click on etc/sysconfig Editor (in the System group). Click Desktop, Display manager and set DISPLAYMANAGER_AD_INTEGRATION to "yes". This, pending successful join, should present a drop down on the login gui that lists your domains in addition to the login/password field. I'm using gnome, but guess kde will not be that much different here. Carl -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
