Joining HPUX server to windows domain

[Venkat_11]

I am trying to configure samba on HPUX 11i server and share one of the directory to windows environment.

CIFS version A.01.09.01 installed on the HPUX server.

When i tried running net join its failing complaining about net command.

usxsl014:root# net join uswsl002.ddns.com -U a139997
sh: net: not found.


which path i have to use to run the net join command?

Here is how my smb.conf looks.

workgroup = ddns
netbios name = usxl004
security = domain
encrypt passwords = Yes

password server = uswsl002.ddns.com,uswsl001.ddns.com
username map = /var/opt/samba/username.map
lm announce = True
local master = No
wins server = 10.200.17.66
mangled names = Yes
mangled stack = 4096
client code page = 437
guest account = smbnull

[ic4adm]
comment = Interface Path
path=/Interface/test
writeable = yes
hide dot files = no
guest ok = no
public = yes

Thanks In Advance.

It should come with samba...

can you please try to find the command

find /opt/samba -name net -print

[Venkat_11]

No luck. We have another server which is using samba for which also i dont see net in the above paths.

[Roopesh Francis_1]

check for this link.

http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/NetCommand.html...

worst case,can you try to do
find / -name net
if possible... :(

Your version of CIFS/Samba is too old to have the net command. You need to upgrade your CIFS/Samba version to A.02.04 on software.hp.com. This will give you domain membership up to W2008. Note that "security=domain" will require "net rpc join" and you will get NTLM level authentication. If you want full kerberos auth-n, you will need "security = ads" and "net ads join". If that's what you want, use this whitepaper to help you out:

http://www.docs.hp.com/en/14985/HPCIFSKerberosV105.pdf

Also, the A.02.04 admin Guide will help you out with domain membership.

[Vijaya Kumar_3]

It could be a older version of samba that you installed. Samba 3 comes with the net command.

http://us6.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/domain-member.html#id2571102

http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-HOWTO-Collection/NetCommand.html

The net command is one of the new features of Samba-3 and is an attempt to provide a useful tool for the majority of remote management operations necessary for common tasks.

I'm just going to touch some basics here (very basic), cause you obviously are using a passwd server (which I don't bother with internally) and such. So just addressing the connection here:

Once you create your new samba share info in your /etc/opt/smb.conf file, all you have to do is go to the Windows PC and:

Right Click Start/Explore
From top toolbar click on Tools
Click on Map Network Drive
Pick a free drive letter (line 1)
Enter your patch in (line 2)

Example from [lic4adm]
\\\Interface\test

=UNIX SAMBA server
Assuming that Interface\test is the full path

Hope this helps get you started,
Rgrds,
Rita

...and one last thing...just in case-

startsmb

stopsmb

smbstatus

/rcw

Thanks everybody for all the replies. The issue here is i am able to access the share drive from windows server but its asking for password every time.

I want to resolve the following issues.

entering password everything i access the share directory from windows.

Adding unix server to windows domain.

Do i need to upgrade samba to get the above things done?

[eric roseme]

With "security = domain" you must join the domain before your clients can access your server. If your clients are authenticated into the domain when they log on, then they will not have to enter a password to map a share on the server. Your version of CIFS/Samba equates roughly to Samba 2.0.7 or something like that. It's entirely possible that you cannot join a W2003, W2003R2, or W2008 domain with that Samba version. So upgrade.

With "security = server" you do not need to join the domain, but every time a user maps a share they will have to enter a password (the CIFS/Samba server must pass-thru the auth-n request to the DC). However, "security = server" requires anonymous logons, which W2003, W2003R2, and W2008 do not allow. So if you have one of those Windows Server versions, upgrade.

[Venkat_11]

I upgraded samba server and client on my server. After that when i tried to run net join its failing with the below error.

usxsl014:root# ./net ads join -U a206173

Do i need to start winbindd service if so how can i start?

Thanks.
