Hello,
We are stuck with Zentyal PDC configuration and can't find hints at several forums; ours seems to be an unusual setup (surprisinly).
We're installing the last version of Zentyal. Managed to set a
LDAP master and several slaves. The
Slaves are supposed be
PDC servers and Share Files, and Windows Clients must join their domains, and they actually do, ... except for the PDC Server which is inside the
DMZ, behind a Firewall.
We can make Windows Clientes join a real Windows 2003/2008 Sever Domain with no problem through that firewall.
We have also discarded Firewall filtering, casuse we reproduced the failing scenario using a single non-filtering router.
Our
last diagnostic is the following:
Windows Clients will find a "real" Windows Domain Server through different but connected networks, but they won't find a Zentyal Domain Server in the same circumstances.
We tried all kind of DNS setup. Client pings Server perfectly, and Server pings Client too. We can even access Web Zentyal Control Panel from the Windows Client,... but it still cannot find the Domain to join to.
Which protocol/port/NAT/service/thing! is lacking through routed networks?
It's important for us to have Windows Clients joined to our Domain Controller without extracting the server from the DMZ. And we're stuck with the task.
I don't know which config files can be attached or commented here, the setup is the most common, we haven't tweaked any file, non-routed servers do work perfectly for their subnets (so at least we are supposed to understand the basics
),...
Any hint will be highly appreciated. Ask me for files/configs or anything if they may help. (Even if it sounds like "
that's impossible for Zentyal to serve a Windows Domain through routed networks, buddy").
Regards.
