Chapter 4 System Configuration
sudo vi /etc/hosts
2. Add a line at the end to specify the Windows Active Directory controller's IP address. Use the
following format:
IP address
windows_domain_controller_name.active_directory_domain_name
windows_domain_controller_name
IP address
secondary_domain_controller_name.active_directory_domain_name
secondary_domain_controller_name (optional)
3. Replace the IP address with the correct IP address of the Windows Active Directory controller.
An example would look like the following:
10.30.1.25 pdc1.facility2.company.tv pdc1
10.30.1.26 pdc2.facility2.company.tv pdc2 (optional)
In this example the windows domain controller name is pdc1, and the active directory domain
name is facility2.company.tv. The secondary domain controller name is pdc2.
Adding a Workgroup and Realm Entry
Workgroup and realm entries are needed to specify the Windows NT Domain name and the
active Directory Domain name in the smb.conf file.
For example, if the Windows NT domain name is Harmonic.local, then the realm is Harmonic.
To add a workgroup and realm entry:
1. From your SSH terminal, edit /etc/samba/smb.conf using the following command:
sudo vi /etc/samba/smb.conf
2. Change the default configuration values as follows:
# Global parameters
[global]
workgroup = WINDOWS_NT_DOMAIN_NAME
realm = ACTIVE_DIRECTORY_DOMAIN_NAME
security = ADS
password server =
windows_domain_controller_name.active_directory_domain_name
secondary_domain_controller_name.active.directory_domain_name
(optional)
encrypt passwords = yes
preferred master = no
server string = Omneon Content Director
3. Run the testparm test program (which verifies the correctness of the smb.conf file) once you
have completed the entries. Type the following to run the testparm program:
sudo testparm
Notifications are returned if any errors are found.
Joining a Windows Domain
1. Type the following command to join the domain:
sudo net ads join -U Administrator -S windows_domain_controller_name
The command will ask for a password.
