samba domain integration

[plegrand]

Here is all my test (netdom, legacy client, new client with log files).
As it’s litle long i made a pdf document
http://plegrand1.free.fr/Test_Samba_Domain.pdf

[plegrand]

I discover something interesting.
There is a file which log each try domain joining
c:\windows\debug\NetSetup.LOG

here is this file with the two tests (legacy and new client)

NetSetup.LOG with the NEW client (which failed)

May be it could help to find the problem

Well that’s an interesting catch. The difference I see is that the output from the old client says MachineAccountOU: (NULL) whereas the output from the new client seams to be empty but not NULL. Later on it fails with NetpJoinDomain: OU is specified but couldn’t get NT5 DC
@Jbob Can you think of why this is different? You know the client source code a lot better than I do! Maybe OU is send as empty string (“”) instead of NULL in the new client.

[plegrand]

On the client windows xp i try this command nltest.exe :

nltest.exe /dsgetdc:samba_domain
DC: \SAMBA
Address: \SAMBA
Dom Name: SAMBA_DOMAIN
The command completed successfully

[plegrand]

@Uncle-Frank Just for test i put “NULL” then “(NULL)” into “Organizational Unit” in AD configuration without success

[Joe Schmitt]

Bug confirmed and isolated. Ticket has been made here:

https://github.com/FOGProject/fog-client/issues/22

Basic explanation:
For some reason the samba LDAP domain is returning an error code of 1355 instead of 2 or 50 (which correspond to OU errors). On OU errors the client will try using a null OU. I just have to add 1355 to the cases of OU errors.

[plegrand]

@Jbob Hello, does it means that the new client will works now or do i have to wait the new “patched” client ?
Any way thanks for your help

[Joe Schmitt]

@plegrand The patch will be applied next release.

[plegrand]

@Jbob Just for information , as i don’t know if the client have the patch which permit to join samba domain, i made a test today without success.
Same problem. But may be I’ve to wait a little.

[Joe Schmitt]

The patch will only be applied on the next official release 0.9.6 or 0.10.0

[plegrand]

@Jbob thanks for your answer, for the moment i use the 4103 .
Thanks again

[plegrand]

@Jbob is there a date for this new release ?

[Joe Schmitt]

@plegrand

No release date is planned. For now keep using the legacy client. The next release of the client will be v0.10.0 which will include OSX + Linux compatibility.

That’s what I’m waiting for!

[Joe Schmitt]
