In our company we are working with two Active Directory domains (DOMAIN1 and DOMAIN2) In DOMAIN1 we have a linux server running samba and are authenticating to the Domain controller for this domain. useres located in DOMAIN1 can access samba using \\SERVER\SHARE from logonscript.<br />
<br />
in DOMAIN2 we have users have access to the Linux server in DOMAIN1, but have to authenticate with a DOMAIN1 user (yes they have 2 users). When authenticing they need to enter DOMAIN1\username and their password to get acces. <br />
<br />
My question is, can we make the samba force user authentication to select user from DOMAIN1, sp that the users dont need to type DOMAIN1\username, but can just type username and password?<br />
<br />
my other question is, Can samba use two domain controlles and two active directory to authenticate users from both domains?<br />
<br />
Kind regards. <a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2011/02_w08/411051/description.png" target="_blank" title="A description of the elements in my &quot;problem&quot; (105 KB)"><img alt="A description of the elements in my &quot;problem&quot;" class="file-block lazyload" style="max-width: 774px;" data-src="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2011/02_w08/411051/description.png" /></a> <a href="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2011/02_w08/411052/logon.png" target="_blank" title="This is the logon image i get from DOMAIN2, it works if i login using username DOMAIN1\Username (31 KB)"><img alt="This is the logon image i get from DOMAIN2, it works if i login using username DOMAIN1\Username" class="file-block lazyload" style="max-width: 439px;" data-src="https://filedb.experts-exchange.com/incoming/2011/02_w08/411052/logon.png" /></a>

two domains, Samba and LDAP AD lookup user authentication

The variety of Linux distributions creates myriad issues relating to configuration and operations when computers are networked, not the least of which is the use of various network management applications, some of which are included with specific distributions, while others are standalone applications.

Linux Networking

Active Directory (AD) is a Microsoft brand for identity-related capabilities. In the on-premises world, Windows Server AD provides a set of identity capabilities and services, and is hugely popular (88% of Fortune 1000 and 95% of enterprises use AD). This topic includes all things Active Directory including DNS, Group Policy, DFS, troubleshooting, ADFS, and all other topics under the Microsoft AD and identity umbrella.
