Howto Add a Samba4 Domain Controller

DNS Records

• Set an A record for auth.pumpingstationone.org
• Set a NS record for ad.pumpingstationone.org to auth.pumpingstationone.org

Host Setup

echo "auth.pumpingstationone.org" > /etc/hostname add 66.228.35.181 auth.ad.arbitrarion.com auth to beginning of /etc/hosts

Samba

There is no stable, working version of Samba 4 shipping with ubuntu. You have to download it from source for now. As of writing, version 4.0.5 works

 git clone -b v4-0-stable git://git.samba.org/samba.git samba
 ./configure
 make
 make install

Provisioning

  /usr/local/samba/bin/samba-tool domain provision --realm=ad.pumpingstationone.org --domain=PS1 --server-role=dc

Make a note of the admin password. You may need it later.

Kerberos

 apt-get install kerberos

/etc/krb5.conf

  [libdefaults]
     default_realm = AD.ARBITRARION.COM
     dns_lookup_realm = false
     dns_lookup_kdc = true

Adding Users

To create the user "hef" and set the user password, use the following command:

  /usr/local/samba/bin/samba-tool user add hef

To add the user "hef" to the "Domain Admins" group, use the following command:

  /usr/local/samba/bin/samba-tool group addmembers "Domain Admins" hef
