Integrating Linux Servers With Active Directory

This video we will see how to integrate Linux ( Centos /RHEL 7) servers with active directory for centralized authentication.I have already uploaded the video on active directory installation . You can watch the same from this link
• Active Directory Insta...
Login to Linux server and do the following steps
1. Update /etc/hosts and add active directory server IP and host name details
2.Login as root user and execute the following command
yum install sssd realmd oddjob oddjob-mkhomedir adcli samba-common samba-common-tools krb5-workstation openldap-clients policycoreutils-python
3.Reboot the server
4.Join the server with active directory using following command
realm join --user=administrator adserver.hadoop.com
5.Make sure it is properly added to the domain using the bellow command
realm list
6.Update /etc/sssd/sssd.conf file update the following
use_fully_qualified_names = False
fallback_homedir = /home/%u
7.Restart sssd service

Thank you so much mate. I have been looking for this for some time now. nice and short.

[@vectro277]

Thanks man!!! This has help me a lot.

[@thefdlord]

Thanks! Can you share any blog or tuts only to configure SAMBA to use windows accounts via sssd?

[@anoopseby]

Thanks for creating and sharing this. Please confirm whether we can use LDAP feature of windows active directory alone in Linux machines without joining all the Linux systems to windows domain

[@mohanganesan5645]

Thank you for the Steps. What about the existing users on the Linux system?

[@bharatbhushan9331]

Good explanation.
But you should have explained about services that you installed

[@jagafirst]

Thanks for the Video, I can connect with AD server successfully but I don't know how to get the windows Roaming profile in Linux box, It would be much help if you post a video related to roaming profiles

[@dozierc]

Thank you for the video. My logins are slow to receive a prompt. It works but takes up to 10-20 seconds. Is this a problem with the sssd.conf or another file ?

[@princetrivedi5525]

I have followed the same process

[@dozierc]

Hi NextGen. How do you do groups ? I am trying to do groups and I have set the groups up in AD and added those groups to sssd.conf but can not log in with the ID's in that group.

[@leich1m]

Does the succesful "id" command mean the user can actually login on these Linux servers using their ad accounts?

[@MrSanamadhikari]

Really Nice useful tutorial, do you have any Idea how to authenticated AD user, if I host server in Xampp (my concern is that if AD user login into any devices they no need to type any username & password to login web sites)

[@shahria6759]

Hi mate
When I do srm(move it to dr site)
the server doesn’t recognise?
How to fix this problem

[@prembangar]

I want to enable only specific OU. Is it possible..?

[@arijitpiu]

Followed the same steps but getting the below error in SSSD log file :
[sasl_bind_send] (0x0020): ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s failed (-2)[Local error]
Also
id tuser
id: ‘tuser’: no such user
Any idea on this?

[@ParasScorpio]

What is tht fallback homedirectory option?

[@princetrivedi5525]

I am still getting an error "no such user found" while executing command id

[@aamersaeed1529]

check the sssd.log file in /var/log/sssd/ directory on client side first.

[@joseninocapati3242]

need to change sssd one by one, is there a way to apply one central sssd config file to all workers?

[@jhbigler6401]

With a configuration management tool like ansible or puppet, sure

[@sowmyagudala1817]

Iam unable to sssd.conf file

[@sanjivareddy8054]

it was speedy

[@rajsharma5233]

Can you please tell me how we can add multiple groups in this whole configuration. I request you to comment on this.
I am thinking to implement this configuration in one of my HPC cluster for office client.
I can paid money for this whole configuration, if anyone can help me to bring all windows AD user to Linux server

[@romanalexeev6758]

this should work only in restricted situations like yours because you dont describe anything.
