5.4. Samba Configuration

Samba will be used to perform netbios/nmbd services related to Active Directory authentication, even if no file shares are exported. Edit the file /etc/samba/smb.conf and add the following to the [global] section:

[global]

workgroup = MYUBUNTU client signing = yes client use spnego = yes

kerberos method = secrets and keytab realm = MYUBUNTU.EXAMPLE.COM

security = ads

Some guides specify that "password server" should be specified and pointed to the domain controller. This is only necessary if DNS is not properly set up to find the DC. By default, Samba will display a warning if "password server" is specified with "security = ads".
