samba domain integration

[Sebastian Roth]

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.

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

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

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.

@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

@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.
