samba domain integration

[Sebastian Roth]

Do you specify the ADuser like this: domain\user ??
There is a little coding error in HostnameChanger.class.php on line 12 which would cause trouble then. You could try to just put in the user as FOG can handle this by adding the domain by itself (see in the code).

@Tom-Elliott I think you had this correct in an earlier version. Find some examples on how to do strpos with array here: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11514302/searching-for-array-of-needle-values-with-strpos

@plegrand According your question about special characters in the password, I reckon that apostrophe is pretty special that way. It’s often used to begin and end strings in PHP and SQL. So it definitely can cause a lot of trouble. I think it would take quite some time to get this fixed and tested through all the layers of FOG/webinterface/database/client… I am sorry but I don’t find the time at the moment. Maybe you want to look through the code and see if you can find where it actually fails. Would be of great help.

@Uncle-Frank You are correct. For some idiotic reason I tried to pass through an array. Even though the php manual states the needle to search for can be a mixed sort, I’m guessing strpos just wasn’t smart enough. I’ve now fixed this issue. Now I suppose I really need to try figuring out the whole apostrophe in the password bit.

@Uncle-Frank Thanks a lot for your answer, for the moment i use a “classic” password and it works fine.
This morning it didnt works anymore with a classic password. If i understand i’ve got upgrade svn and it will work again?
Thanks again

@Tom-Elliott i upgraded to 4059 but i cant join domain, there is no more error message in apache error.log
do i have to use domain\user ?

[plegrand]

@Uncle-Frank sorry but it’s not very clear for me, do i have to use domain\user now ?
I’ve got again this error message in fog.log :
The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted , code = 1355
But i can join domain manually
Thanks again

[plegrand]

@Tom-Elliott Hello i think it’s not fixed because i’ve got the same error.
There is no more error in error.log apache file but the same in fog.log
It worked with an older svn version
Thanks

[Tom Elliott]

Please update and try again.

sorry but it’s not very clear for me, do i have to use domain\user now ?

As far as I understand the code you can go with either ‘user’ oder ‘domain\user’ (without the quotes). Both should work.

[Tom Elliott]

Actually,

You can have the user as: user@domain, domain\user, or user

@Tom-Elliott Thanks for your answer. I’ll try on monday and will tell you .
Thanks again

I have no clue if the apostrophe in the password issue is fixed but I do want to inform my findings. I added a but of code to the client output that was intended to display the information to us in a more, dare I say friendly way. The issue I found was this one line of code was causing the data to be parsed by the html entity of the character being presented, such as ’ instead of '. Removing this one line corrects the output to display in the browser properly and I’m just guessing this was the failure of the apostrophe in the password

[Tom Elliott]

@Tom-Elliott apparently node is smart too, the code was & # 3 9 ; without the spaces

[plegrand]

Hello,
it doesnt works.
For the moment i try just made a try with “normal” password and it doesn’t works.
On the client :
The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted , code = 1355
In the error.log :
PHP Warning: _() expects exactly 1 parameter, 2 given in /var/www/fog/lib/fog/FOGController.class.php on line 123

And i can join the client manually
Do i have to test passwor with apostrophe ?

THanks

[Tom Elliott]

@plegrand I fixed the line 123 error thrown, but this is not the issue you’re running into. The fact that it’s directly stating that the domain does not or exist or could not be reached is the issue now. At least as far as I can tell. Using it with, or without apostrophe should not matter now. You need to fix the 1355 issue first. This isn’t something FOG is failing to do any more. At least not for right now.

[plegrand]

@Tom-Elliott it worked before with same client same admin same password. I can join manually my client to the samba domain.
The the 1355 issue is only (i think) with fog client.

[Tom Elliott]

@plegrand 1355 is the error to look into. This error is not coming from the client, it’s coming from the method being used to join the domain which is erroring out with that exit code. The exact error code is from Windows attempt at joining. This is the issue. Meaning, double check the domain being connected. These are saved on a per host basis. For example, if the domain to be joined is example.com and the user joining the domain is set as example\administrator try removing the example out of the username spot.

@Tom-Elliott
Here is the configuration i use on the fog server wich doesn’t works. error 1355
Join Domain after image task
Domain name samba_domain
Domain Username samba_admin
Domain Password samba_password
I use the same informations to join manually the windows machine and it works fine without error.
It works also with netdom command with same informations
And as i said, with an older svn version it worked with same configuration

[Tom Elliott]

Is this the same information specified for this host?

I don’t care if it worked 1 million times in a row, right now the error is telling you EXACTLY what is wrong.

Where did you get this information? Did you get it from the “default” settings or directly off the host?

I’m not lying to you right now. The error you are seeing is not coming from FOG in anyway shape or form, at least not directly.

The messages you’re seeing is coming from Windows’ own attempt to join. This is where it it failing.

I configure in default “fog configuration, active directory”, then when i click on “Join Domain after image task” for the host all fields are filled automatically.

The messages you’re seeing is coming from Windows’ own attempt to join. This is where it it failing.
I understand that. What i don’t understand is why it works manually :
When i join the windows computer “classically” (Computer property, computer name, modify…), it works fine without any error.
When i join the windows computer with the netdom command , it works fine without any error.
When the client fog try, i can see in the “fog.log” this error message : “The specified domain either does not exist or could not be contacted , code = 1355”

And even you don’t care if it worked before
It worked with an older svn version
I say that because it’s an additional information .

May be I’m not clear in my explanations, or may be (cause of my poor English) i don’t understand all your explanations

Anyway thanks for your help
May be do you need more explanations about my problem
