    Hello,

    I'd like to install a SAMBA-Server on AIX 5.3. It should provide shares to windows (XP and 7) users. They should authenticate against our Active-Dirctory.

    I've googled for hours but didn't find anything, that tells me exactly how to do this ... I'm confused after reading lots of different how-to's.

    Is there anybody who already does what I'm going to do an can tell me what I have to install and how to configure this?

    Thank for your help,
    Janko

    Hi!

    From AIX 6.1 TL04 on you will find SAMBA Filesets in Expansion Pack CD. in AIX 5.3 you have to install RPM Files from Linux ToolBox for AIX.
    you only have to edit your smb.conf and then assign a memeber Server in AD with Windows Admin User.
    sample SMB.CONF:

    1. Global parameters
    global
    workgroup = (WORKGROUPNAME FROM AD)
    netbios name = (NETBIOSNAME OF AIX SERVER IN WINDOWS AD)
    server string =
    interfaces =
    bind interfaces only = yes/no
    security = DOMAIN
    encrypt passwords = Yes
    wins server = ip1 ip2 ip3 ....
    password server = ad1 ad2 ad3
    log level = 1
    log file = /var/samba/logs/log.%m
    debug pid = no
    debug uid = Yes
    announce as = NT Workstation
    local master = No
    invalid users = root
    username map = /path/to/user.map
    edit your user.map file and enter a User to switch to from WIN to AIX:

    AIXUSER= DOMAIN\user

    Winbind will not work properly on AIX therefor juts leav it.
