Authentication - Red Hat ENTERPRISE LINUX 5 - DEPLOYMENT Deployment Manual

Chapter 26. Authentication Configuration
• domain — In this mode, Samba will attempt to validate the username/password by authenticating
it through a Windows NT Primary or Backup Domain Controller, similar to how a Windows NT
Server would.
• ads — This mode instructs Samba to act as a domain member in an Active Directory Server
(ADS) realm. To operate in this mode, the krb5-server package must be installed, and
Kerberos must be configured properly.
• Winbind ADS Realm — When the ads Security Model is selected, this allows you to specify the
ADS Realm the Samba server should act as a domain member of.
• Winbind Domain Controllers — Use this option to specify which domain controller winbind
should use. For more information about domain controllers, please refer to
Controller".
• Template Shell — When filling out the user information for a Windows NT user, the winbindd
daemon uses the value chosen here to to specify the login shell for that user.
For more information about the winbind service, refer to
