Configure the HP CIFS Server as a Member Server

When configuring HP CIFS Server to act as a domain member server, you need to configure the relative domain parameters in the /etc/opt/samba/smb.conf file by using the SWAT tool or an editor. The smb.conf file is shown as follows:

  • The smb.conf file is as shown if the HP CIFS Server acting as a member server does not use the LDAP backend:

    [global]

    workgroup = NTDOM

    security = domain

    password server = DOMPDA

    encrypt passwords = yes

    netbios name = myserver

  • The smb.conf file is as shown if the HP CIFS Server acting as a member server uses the LDAP backend to store UNIX and Samba account databases:

    [global]

    workgroup = NTDOM

    security = domain

    encrypt passwords = yes

    passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://ldapserver:389

    netbios name = myserver

NOTE: workgroup: This parameter specifies the domain name of which the HP CIFS Server is a member.

security: When the HP CIFS Server joins a domain as a member, this parameter must be set to "domain".

password server: This parameter defines the NetBIOS name of the PDC machine which performs the username authentication and validation.

encrypt passwords: If this parameter is set to yes, the passwords used to authenticate users are encrypted.

netbios: Set this parameter to the NetBIOS name by which a member server is known.

Join an HP CIFS Server to an NT Domian, Windows 2000/2003 (as a pre-Windows 2000 computer), or Samba Domain

This section describes the procedures to join an HP CIFS Server to a NT domain, Windows 2000/2003 (as a pre-Windows 2000 computer) or Samba domain as a member server.

Step-by-step Procedure

  1. Choose "Domain Member Server" when executing samba_setup. When prompted, you will need to add your domain Member Server machine account to the PDC.

    For Windows NT: Go to the Windows NT PDC and create a machine account for the HP CIFS Member Server by performing the following steps:

    1. Open the "start/programs/administrator/tools/server manager" tool.

    2. Select the "computer/add to domain" icon and enter the host name of the HP CIFS Server.

    3. Choose the "Windows NT Workstation or Server" option when you are asked for the computer type.

    For Windows 2000: Go to the Windows 2000 PDC and create a machine account for the HP CIFS Member Server by using the Active Directory Controller Wizard.

    Check the "Allow Pre-Windows 2000 computers to use this account" box and add the computer name

    For Samba (including HP CIFS): Go to the Samba Server acting as a PDC and create a machine account for the HP CIFS Member Server by following the steps provided in Chapter 4 section titled, "Create a Machine Trust Account.". samba_setup will then perform the "net rpc join -U Administrator%password" command for you.
