Doesn't Samba 4 have a Domain Controller that is compatiable with Microsoft's Active Directory?
When I google for "opensuse samba4 active directory" the very first item that comes up tells me <quote src="https://susestudio.com/a/veav1Y/excellent-samba4-appliance"> Excellent Samba4 Appliance 1.1.11 based on SLES 11 SP3 64 bit with Samba4 Stable 4.1.11. Samba4 is a massive reworking of the Samba 3 implementation, with a goal of providing full Active Directory, domain controller and file server support for all current Windows clients. </quote> Since it is bases on SLES 11/SP3 those who say "not opensuse" are, strictly speaking, correct. However you can download the VMImage and run that under openSuse. Also relevant https://conradjonesit.wordpress.com/2013/06/24/building-a-samba4-domain-cont... What some people might be picking up on is that <quote src="https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_AD_DC_HOWTO"> We do not recommend using the Domain Controller as a file Server. This is due to issues with the winbind internal to the Domain Controller. The recommendation is to run separate file or Member Servers. Whilst the Domain Controller seems capable of running as a full file server, it is suggested that organisations run a distinct file server to allow upgrades of each without disrupting the other. It is also suggested that medium-sized sites should run more than one DC. It also makes sense to have the DC's distinct from any file servers that may use the Domain Controllers. Also using distinct file Servers avoids the many issues with the winbind internal to the Active Directory Domain Controller. </quote> -- A: Yes. > Q: Are you sure? >> A: Because it reverses the logical flow of conversation. >>> Q: Why is top posting frowned upon? -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
