Joining a Linux box to the domain

In order to participate in an AD style domain, you must have the machine joined to the domain using Administrator credentials. This will create the machine's account within the database, and provide credentials to the system for querying the ldap server.

How to do it…

  1. Install Samba, heimdal-clients, and winbind:
    sudo apt-get install winbind
    
  2. Populate /etc/samba/smb.conf:
    [global]
        workgroup = EXAMPLE
        realm = ad.example.org
        security = ads
        idmap uid = 10000-20000
        idmap gid = 10000-20000
        winbind enum users = yes
        winbind enum groups = yes
        template homedir = /home/%U
        template shell = /bin/bash
        winbind use default domain = yes
  3. Join the system to the domain:
    sudo net ads join -U Administrator
    
  4. Configure the system to use
