Samba4 Windows AND Linux authentication

Introduction

This post describes all the millions of configuration files you need to set up on a CLIENT LINUX server / machine in order to ssh to it with your domain credentials. I have this working in a LAB environment with the following caveats:

  1. SELINUX disabled (work on this required)
  2. Firewall Disabled (not hard to fix this if required)
  3. DNS Setup not working completely for Forwarding to external Nameserver by Samba4.  Don't know why. (more investigation required)
  4. You will need to have a user called binduser which has permissions in AD to look up other users.  I am sure there is documentation on this around somewhere :)

Configure Authconfig for SSH (/etc/sysconfig/authconfig)

set: USEKERBEROS=yes 
[root@linuxclient ~]# cat /etc/sysconfig/authconfig 
IPADOMAINJOINED=no
USEMKHOMEDIR=yes
USEPAMACCESS=no

USELOCAUTHORIZE=yes
USENIS=no
USEKERBEROS=yes
USESYSNETAUTH=no

Update authconfig

authconfig --updateall

Check PAM Configuration

[root@linuxclient ~]# cat /etc/pam.d/system-auth
#%PAM-1.0
# This file is auto-generated.
# User changes will be destroyed the next time authconfig is run.
auth        required      pam_env.so

session     required      pam_unix.so
session     optional      pam_krb5.so

Configure DNS Settings

You need various AD names to resolve. Especially for kerberos... Note: There is a problem here. The Domain controller must FORWARD dns traffic it knows nothing about. 
[root@linuxclient ~]# cat /etc/resolv.conf 
#nameserver must be the IP address of the domain controller.
domain vbox.local
nameserver 192.168.56.101

Reboot

A reboot is required to make sure everything works.

Automatically mount NVME volumes in AWS EC2 on Windows with Cloudformation and Powershell Userdata

Introduction This post explains how I go about with AWS Cloudformation and Powershell userdata scripts. attaching EBS volumes to Windows EC2 instances identifying them in the OS initializing them formatting them and assigning labels and drive letters. Prerequisites You should know something about Cloudformation and Powershell. The AWS Image you use for your EC2 instance should be one provided by AWS and should have the following utility already deployed to  C:\ProgramData\Amazon\Tools\ebsnvme-id.exe AWS Cloudformation Step I typically do not declare EBS Volumes together with the EC2 Instance declaration in Cloudformation but prefer to declare them as separate resources along with their own ebs attachment resources.  Here is an example EC2 instance with three additional volume declarations on top of the root volume which is automatically mounted on C:\ WindowsServerInstance: Type: AWS::EC2::Instance Properties: BlockDeviceMappings: - DeviceName: /dev/sda1

Extending the AD Schema on Samba4 - Part 2

Importing LDIF files into Samba4 and Active Directory This is part 2 of the Extending AD Schema on Samba4 series.  The examples below are tested using the Samba4 LAB I created.  If you want more information on how that works then please read  http://david-latham.blogspot.co.nz/2012/12/samba4-ga-release-virtualbox-lab.html For part one, please read http://david-latham.blogspot.co.nz/2012/12/extending-ad-schema-on-samba4.html Unfortunately the format of an ldif file for creating new attributes and classes in the Schema Configuration are differ between Samba4 and Microsoft. The tools are slightly different too.  So this article will attempt to make it all clear. Find all the latest versions of code on this post at  https://github.com/linuxplayground/yubikey-ldap/tree/master/microsoft-schema Samba4 - ldbadd & ldbmodify As far as I can tell the only way to create a new class with a custom attribute in Samba4 (on the Linux command line) is first add the attribute with ldbad

Python + inotify = Pyinotify [ how to watch folders for file activity ]

Sometimes it just might be handy to be able to watch a folder on a hard disk for changes. For example: A client app might drop small files on a shared folder. A server app might be watching the folder for just such an event. Once the file is created, the server will kick into action and perform whatever tasks are required. This all comes from my CD burning application. I am currently thinking that the client apps will drop small xml files containing information about what to burn onto a folder the webserver has access to and the cdburner service will be watching... The linux kernel provides inotify. This from wikipedia : notify is a Linux kernel subsystem that provides file system event notification. It was written by John McCutchan with help from Robert Love and later Amy Griffis to replace dnotify . It was included in the mainline kernel from release 2.6.13 (2005-06-18), and could be compiled into 2.6.12 and possibly earlier releases by use of a patch . Its function is essen
