[ubuntu] Samba/Winbind wbinfo -a won't authenticate normal users?

[Geoff]

Done it many many times. I have found distro specific issues though have confounded me in the past. So once I find one that works as expected I stick to it (I was using Ubuntu LTS last time I did this sort of integration).

I know it is a bit late now, I post for others reading the thread. I've been getting an ITSuite of machines ready. I install all the OS and packages via PXE boot and set this at the same time using a kickstart profile:

 

authconfig --enablewinbind --enablewinbindauth --smbsecurity ads  --enablewinbindoffline --smbservers=domaincontroller.college.internal --smbworkgroup=CURRIC --smbrealm SCHOOL.COLLEGE.INTERNAL --winbindtemplatehomedir=/home/CURRIC/%U --enablekrb5  --krb5realm=SCHOOL.COLLEGE.INTERNAL --enablekrb5kdcdns --enablekrb5realmdns --enablelocauthorize --enablemkhomedir --enablepamaccess --updateall --enablewinbindusedefaultdomain --winbindtemplateshell=/bin/sh --update

 

After first boot you just need to join the domain, then everyone can log into the workstation using the AD username/Password.
