AD Samba4

Purpose

The purpose of this wiki page is to document the steps needed to set up or recreate an Active Directory(AD) Environment using Samba 4. Not all features of a Windows Server AD are incorporated into Samba 4, such as DFS and others, will try and document what you can and can not accomplish at the moment with Samba 4. At the time of writing/editing the current version of Samba 4 being used is: 4.1.12

Current operating system Samba 4 is run on: Centos 6.5

Will try and make this page as simple to recreate using the same environment, however if confused or have no idea where to begin I recommend heading over to the Samba Wiki pages and reading there How To's and Documentation:

• https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_AD_DC_HOWTO
• https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/User_Documentation

If still confused over anything I would recommend googling it, all of this I have found over the internet from different resources and will try and incorporate them into this wiki. For a complete list of all the references I found extremely useful see the bottom of this page.

Samba 4 Active Directory Domain Controller

Install CentOS

Install a minimal install of CentOS 6.5, at time of writing can be downloaded here:

• http://mirrors.usc.edu/pub/linux/distributions/centos/6.5/isos/x86_64/CentOS-6.5-x86_64-minimal.iso

If you prefer to use a gui or a full install go check out the CentOS mirrors list:

• http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/6/isos/x86_64/

I would not recommend using CentOS 7 as the install procedure, startup service, as well as packages are a bit different, that being said it is entirely possible to get Samba 4 working on CentOS 7, if I have time and am upgrading I may come back and add in the changes CentOS 7 requires.

• See here for CentOS 7: http://wiki.eri.ucsb.edu/stadm/AD_Samba4_Centos_7

Samba 4 Requirements

Here are the OS Requirements as listed by the Samba Team:

• https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/OS_Requirements

Basically for a working Active Directory on CentOS install it is required that your system support Extended File Attributes.

Here are the packages I needed to install to build Samba 4, please note that all of these packages are probably not required and you are free to use the minimal list provided in the Samba Wiki, I have been trying to weed out most of the packages not needed and will be updating as I find extras, but as this is how a working setup was accomplished(with extra features not needed to just compile a basic Samba 4 server) I will leave this up for now:

 yum install 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 \
  glibc glibc-devel gcc libacl-devel krb5-server krb5-workstation krb5-libs pam_krb5 make gnutls-devel \
  openldap-devel openldap-clients openldap-servers openldap-servers-sql \
  openssl-devel bind bind-libs bind-utils libblkid-devel readline-devel gdb python-devel cups sqlite-devel \
  setroubleshoot-server popt-devel libxml2-devel libpcap-devel libidn-devel cups-devel ctdb-devel pam-devel gnutls-devel \
  krb5-server-ldap nss-pam-ldapd pam_ldap openssh-ldap python-ldap docbook-style-xsl vim wget

• Note: if not installing vim(why wouldn't you in the first place?) make sure to install perl(dependency for vim), ./configure will fail down below without perl

• Here is a more minimal list to compile with AD support

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

Once CentOS is installed, give it hostname as well as static IP Address, this can be done through DHCP or by manually editing CentOS network scripts

vim /etc/sysconfig/network

• Edit "HOSTNAME=***" to say "HOSTNAME=samba" or whatever you want to name the server
• Manually edit or add network-scripts if not there

cd /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/
vim ifcfg-eth0

• Make sure these options are included

DEVICE=eth0
HWADDR=**:**:**:**:**:**
TYPE=ETHERNET
ONBOOT=yes
NM_CONTROLLED=yes
BOOTPROTO=dhcp

• For a static IP Address, go look at an example here: https://gist.github.com/fernandoaleman/2172388 (or just google how to give centos a static ip)
• Restart the network service

service network restart

For the purpose of saving time I have setup CentOS with selinux disabled, check to see this allowed by your Organization/Company before disabling selinux(this could be potentially dangerous depending on your network setup). Google Samba 4 selinux or visit the Samba Wiki here: https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_AD_DC_access_control_settings , if time allows I may come back and try to incorporate selinux into this wiki

• To disable selinux

vim /etc/sysconfig/selinux

• Change "SELINUX=enforcing" to "SELINUX=disabled"
• Restart the computer

shutdown -r now

Installing Samba

Decide what version of Samba 4 you would like to use, if your demoing or a developer consider using the newer developer version. Note: May have bugs and is not suitable in a production environment

• For developers:
• install git

yum install git-core
git clone git://git.samba.org/samba.git ~/samba-master

• For stable Samba version visit: http://www.samba.org/
• or(as of 09-26-14):

wget http://www.samba.org/samba/ftp/stable/samba-4.1.12.tar.gz

• Extract the archive if not done so already

tar -zxvf samba-4.1.12.tar.gz

• Build the samba install, replace samba-master with samba-[Version#]

cd ~/samba-master
./configure --enable-debug --enable-selftest

• If it completes successfully, make sure it is Building with Active Directory support, if not you may have forgotten a few packages
• Finally compile and then install

make
make install

Creating Samba Service

Samba does not come with a provided service script, however it is easy to just copy a script from a service that is already implemented, we will use rdisc and modify it for starting and stopping samba.

cd /etc/init.d
cp rdisc samba
vim samba
:%s/rdisc/samba/g
:wq

• Change daemon location from /sbin/samba to /usr/local/samba/sbin/samba, as well as killproc location
• Delete RDISCOPT variable, remove usage from daemon command
• Change what gets echoed to the screen

Or after reviewing to make sure it work with your system, you can download the scripts here: https://github.com/t-ali/samba4_scripts/blob/master/samba

Move the file samba to /etc/init.d/

• Portreserve gets installed as a dependency, nothing wrong with it however it only gives slapd access to port 636 which is required for samba ldap service, to get around this remove this file used by portreserve

rm /etc/portreserve/slapd

• You may have to restart your server to get portreserve to release port 636

Enabling Samba 4 as DC

• Add samba path to $PATH, this only works for bash

echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/samba/bin' >> ~/.bashrc
echo 'export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/samba/sbin' >> ~/.bashrc

• Run command

/usr/local/samba/bin/samba-tool domain provision

• the domain-provision tool should pick all defaults automatically, however they can be changed to your liking
• it is your choice to decide what kind of DNS you would like to use, you can configure your own bind DNS server and manage it yourself for the domain(not going to be covered here) or you can forward requests to your DNS server and have Samba 4 deal with the Windows DNS entries(Samba 4 will be a DNS forwarder). Feel free to use your own DNS server to forward requests to, for the sake of testing I am just putting in googles public DNS address 8.8.8.8

[root@dumbo var]# /usr/local/samba/bin/samba-tool domain provision

Fixing provision GUIDs
A Kerberos configuration suitable for Samba 4 has been generated at /usr/local/samba/private/krb5.conf
Once the above files are installed, your Samba4 server will be ready to use
Server Role:           active directory domain controller
Hostname:              dumbo
NetBIOS Domain:        AD1
DNS Domain:            ad1.domain.edu
DOMAIN SID:            S-1-5-21-3942629588-2438417362-1542489463

After provisioning a kerberos file has been created that is usable with samba, make a backup of current kerberos configuration and copy the generated file to /etc/krb5.conf

mv /etc/krb5.conf /etc/krb5.conf.bak
cp /usr/local/samba/share/setup/krb5.conf /etc/krb5.conf 

• your krb5.conf file should look like

[libdefaults]
	default_realm = AD1.DOMAIN.EDU
	dns_lookup_realm = false
	dns_lookup_kdc = true

Now we can fnially start the samba service, if you tried starting it earlier it most likely failed to start, you can check the status by:

service samba status

Now that we have everything in place start the samba service:

service samba start

We can check a couple ways to make sure samba is up and running, go check out the log files located at

cd /usr/local/samba/var/
tail log.samba
tail log.smbd

Usually any errors will appear at the end of log.smbd telling you smbd did not start, a working output would look like

[2014/09/26 16:32:48,  0] ../source3/smbd/server.c:1189(main)
  smbd version 4.1.12 started.
  Copyright Andrew Tridgell and the Samba Team 1992-2013
[2014/09/26 16:32:49.031941,  0] ../lib/util/become_daemon.c:136(daemon_ready)

And one more way just to check for the paranoid:

ps aux | grep -v grep | grep samba

Output should spit out a bunch of running processes

Once you have verified samba has started without any errors you should add it to the startup

chkconfig samba on

• samba version as well as samba client version can be checked using the following commands

/usr/local/samba/sbin/samba -V
/usr/local/samba/bin/smbclient --version

Configuring DNS

• DNS forwarding was set up on the domain provisioning using the samba-tool script

cat /usr/local/samba/etc/smb.conf

• there should be a line under "[global]" that says "dns forwarder = ***.***.***.***", if not it was not enabled during domain provisioning

The server that samba was installed on should have itself as a DNS server(if using DNS forwarding, if not you must add in all the entires manually into your own DNS server, listed further below)

• Edit your network script to include itself as a DNS server

vim /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0

• Add in the line

DNS1="127.0.0.1"

• Restart the network service so that the correct DNS is now used

service network restart

• Check to see server sees itself as a DNS server

cat /etc/resolv.conf

• There should be a line that says

nameserver 127.0.0.1 

• Test that the correct DNS entries are in your samba server and that you can resolve them(change "ad1.domain.edu" to the name of your domain and "dumbo" to your hostname)

host -t SRV _ldap._tcp.ad1.domain.edu
host -t SRV _kerberos._udp.ad1.domain.edu
host -t A dumbo.ad1.domain.edu

• Should return:

[root@dumbo var]# host -t SRV _ldap._tcp.ad1.domain.edu
_ldap._tcp.ad1.domain.edu has SRV record 0 100 389 dumbo.ad1.domain.edu.
[root@dumbo var]# host -t SRV _kerberos._udp.ad1.domain.edu
_kerberos._udp.ad1.domain.edu has SRV record 0 100 88 dumbo.ad1.domain.edu.
[root@dumbo var]# host -t A dumbo.ad1.domain.edu
dumbo.ad1.domain.edu has address 10.0.2.15

• If the test did not produce those outputs DNS has not been configured properly
• These are the entries required if you are going to do this manually in your DNS server, or script it, or use samba_dnsupdate script
• you can see these values at /usr/local/samba/private/dns_update_list

cat /usr/local/samba/private/dns_update_list
# this is a list of DNS entries which will be put into DNS using
# dynamic DNS update. It is processed by the samba_dnsupdate script

Kerberos

• make a backup of original kerberos file and replace it with the copy generated by samba

mv /etc/krb5.conf /etc/krb5.conf.bak
cp /usr/local/samba/share/setup/krb5.conf /etc/krb5.conf

• edit the new krb5.conf file and change the ${REALM} variable to the realm selected during domain provisioning, ALL CAPS

vim /etc/krb5.conf

• test Kerberos using the kinit command

kinit administrator@MYDOMAIN.COM

• if Kerberos is working you will be asked for your password
• verify that it is working by running klist, output should look something along the lines of

Ticket cache: FILE:/tmp/krb5cc_0
Default principal: administrator@MYDOMAIN.COM

Valid starting Expires Service principal
07/25/13 15:23:33 07/26/13 1:23:33 krbtgt/MYDOMAIN.COM@MYDOMAIN.COM
renew until 07/26/13 15:23:31

NTP

• Check this guide for installing and debugging NTP for domain joined machines:
  • http://wiki.eri.ucsb.edu/stadm/Samba4_NTP
• Quick setup

yum install ntp
chown root:ntp /usr/local/samba/var/lib/ntp_signd/
chmod 750 /usr/local/samba/var/lib/ntp_signd

• Edit

vim /etc/ntp.conf

• add

restrict default mssntp kod nomodify notrap nopeer noquery
ntpsigndsocket  /usr/local/samba/var/lib/ntp_signd/

• add to startup and start

systemctl enable ntpd
systemctl start ntp

• or(Centos 6/SysVinit)

chkconfig ntpd on
service ntpd start

Windows Domain

Add Windows computer to domain

• manually edit network settings to point DNS to samba4 server
• assign static ip so there are no problems with joining computers to domain
• ping samba4 server at ip address to verify you can see it

Misc

• after a yum update portreserve may have been updated and interferes with samba
• holds a lock on port 636 for slapd, samba provides an ldap service on 636 so slapd cannot hold it
• go to /etc/portreserve and remove the slapd file, restart server, portreserve will not hold lock in 636 anymore and samba can use it

cd /etc/portreserve
rm slapd

• deleting regedit user profile
