    Dear All,

    Dear Ayyappan , 

    i did the below , 

     Installed the below packages 
    Configure YUM in AIX
    Install samba in AIX
    Install below krb5 packages from AIX expansion Pack
    krb5.client.rte
    krb5.client.samples
    krb5.doc.en_US.html
    krb5.doc.en_US.pdf
    krb5.lic
    krb5.client.rte


    Then created the krb5 file using hte below command

    root@UX-Fileshr:/#mkkrb5clnt -c xxxxx.domainname -r domainname -s xxxxx.domainname -d domainname
    Initializing configuration...
    Creating /etc/krb5/krb5_cfg_type...
    Creating /etc/krb5/krb5.conf...
    The command completed successfully.

    then run the below command to authenticate

    kinit user@domain

    it was successful, then i edited the smb.conf file 

    workgroup = xxxxx
    realm = domainname
    preferred master = no
    server string = Samba Server Version %v
    security = ADS
    encrypt passwords = yes
    log level = 3
    log file = /var/log/samba/%m
    max log size = 50
    windbind separator = +
    printcap name = cups
    printing = cups
    idmap uid = 10000-20000
    idmap gid = 10000-20000

    then ran testparm, and then tried joining the samba machine to the active directory, received the below error

    root@UX-Fileshr:/etc/samba#net ads join -U user
    Unknown parameter encountered: "windbind separator"
    Ignoring unknown parameter "windbind separator"
    Unknown parameter encountered: "windbind separator"
    Ignoring unknown parameter "windbind separator"
    Host is not configured as a member server.
    Invalid configuration. Exiting....
    Failed to join domain: This operation is only allowed for the PDC of the domain.

    Is there any configuration to be done for windbind in aix ? if so can you give me the steps to configure windbind in aix ..
