Synchronizing zentyal with a windows active directory domain controller




















So I can then in turn map the share path during logon and not have the user requested for additional credentials. I maybe going about this in completely the wrong way, but it looks although Zentyal can only be configured as a domain controller or an additional domain controller before I can enable the file sharing module. I've never looked into kerberos authentication.

Bapco Systems is an IT service provider. I actually called it a day with Zentyal and started again with Ubuntu and Samba, I'd spent too long trying to get the server working.

In addition to this I had my team leader look over the config to see if I had overlooked something. This is the second time I've tried to setup an additional server in my Windows domain and failed using Zentyal intially tried 18 months ago on a earlier version. I maybe doing something wrong but the systems seems a little clunky. Straight out of the box I had issues with the web tool and had to apply a fix, with a solution like this I thought it would have been pretty straight forward so wouldn't recommend it to a friend at this moment in time.

Seems like I have been seeing multiple posts that you should try to set it up initially as a standalone DC, then turn around and change it to an Additional DC. This doesn't make sense as to why you would have to do this Ultimately I was able to set the Zentyal server up as an additional domain controller.

Once I got this resolved, I was able to add it as an additional controller, and then I was able to see all the current users and groups etc My goal was to take the SBS completely offline. Verify your account to enable IT peers to see that you are a professional. Basic things to check I only assume you have 2 DCs Entries in DNS server View this "Best Answer" in the replies below ».

But to answer your questions directly 1. They will automatically sync 3. I hope that helps Regards David. JitenSh This person is a verified professional.

If you change the Type value to NoSync , you completely disable time synchronization in Windows. On all computers joined to the Active Directory domain the closest domain controller is used as the default time source.

If NTP is specified here, then your computer synchronizes time with an external source time possibly on the Internet. A Domain , in this context, consists of several distributed services along all controllers, where LDAP directory, DNS server and distributed authentication through Kerberos [7] are the most important.

File sharing provides files available to users in the network, allowing access to work with them, download or modify them.

The next sections will describe how to configure and make use of the features of those modes. By going to the Domain menu you can check the operation mode of your LDAP server before enabling the module. If you have already enabled Users, Computers and File Sharing , your server will operate as a Stand-alone server by default.

By enabling PAM Pluggable Authentication Modules you allow the users configured in the directory to be valid users in the local server as well. This way, you can, for example, create a user in your directory and access the Zentyal server through SSH using those credentials.

There are several Organizational Units already created. An Organizational Unit is a container for other objects, like groups, users or even other nested OUs. You can delete any node using the trash can icon or you can create a new one by clicking on a container and then on the green plus icon. Move or remove the directory before creating the user if this is the case. The Contacts are personal information objects not related with the authorization mechanism.

In other words, contacts will not be able to login on the domain services. On the right side you can see and modify the LDAP attributes of the currently selected node, for example, the last name of an user. If you are using a Commercial Edition of Zentyal, you can also upload a profile photo for the user from here.

At the right bottom of the interface, you will see a section named Modules Configuration , this section has a variable number of subsections, depending on the Zentyal modules installed and enabled. From here, you can modify the specific parameters of that module regarding this user.

The default configuration of the user plugins depends on the User Template explained below. Clicking on a group, you can also modify the users belonging to the group, create distribution mail lists and change the type of group. The Security Group default contains users that will be able to login on the domain services, the Distribution Group contains user that will be used for other purposes, like mail lists.
