Samba 4 Domain Controller Installation on CentOS 7

Installation of Samba 4

192.168.1.190 Samba4 AD centos 7

Basis is a CentOS 7 with a minimal install and SELinux disabled.

      
[root@samba4 ~]# sestatus
SELinux status: disabled
[root@samba4 ~]#

Make an entry in the /etc/hosts file.

[root@samba4 ~]# cat /etc/hosts
127.0.0.1   localhost localhost.localdomain localhost4 localhost4.localdomain4
::1         localhost localhost.localdomain localhost6 localhost6.localdomain6
192.168.1.190   samba4.sunil.cc samba4
[root@samba4 ~]#

Install the epel repo.

[root@samba4 ~]# yum install epel-release -y

Install all the packages needed to compile samba4.

[root@samba4 ~]# yum install perl gcc libacl-devel libblkid-devel gnutls-devel readline-devel python-devel gdb pkgconfig krb5-workstation zlib-devel setroubleshoot-server libaio-devel setroubleshoot-plugins\
policycoreutils-python libsemanage-python setools-libs-python setools-libs popt-devel libpcap-devel sqlite-devel libidn-devel libxml2-devel libacl-devel libsepol-devel libattr-devel keyutils-libs-devel\
cyrus-sasl-devel cups-devel bind-utils libxslt docbook-style-xsl openldap-devel pam-devel bzip2 vim wget -y

Now download samba4 package . I use samba-4.6.0 which is latest during this setup.

[root@samba4 ~]#  wget https://download.samba.org/pub/samba/stable/samba-4.6.0.tar.gz

Now lets install samba4.

  [root@samba4 ~]# tar -zxvf samba-4.6.0.tar.gz
  [root@samba4 ~]# cd samba-4.6.0
  [root@samba4 samba-4.6.0]# ./configure --enable-debug --enable-selftest --with-ads --with-systemd --with-winbind
  [root@samba4 samba-4.6.0]# make && make install

The installation will take about 10 minutes depending on the system speed.

Now we will do the domain provisioning.

[root@samba4 samba]# samba-tool domain provision --use-rfc2307 --interactive

There will be some errors when we do the provisioning of domain.

To fix them, please comment out the below line in /etc/krb5.conf.

  --------
  #includedir /etc/krb5.conf.d/
  --------

Run the domain provisioning again and now the domain will get created without errors.

Adding the Windows host to the domain

192.168.1.191 remote management win 10

Make sure the host is added with a static ipaddress.

Adding the host to the domain.

To manage Samba4 from Windows, we need to have the Microsoft Remote Server Tools (RSAT) installed.

The wiki page has the links https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Installing_RSAT

Installing RSAT tool in Windows 10

Run the installer.

After reboot go to run and type in dsa.msc

Click on sunil.cc domain and right click new -> Users.

Creating a test user.
