Installation and Upgrades / Why groups "Domain Admins" and "Schema Admins" are created in Users section?

« on: January 09, 2020, 06:32:37 pm »

Can anybody describe why default groups "Domain Admins" and "Schema Admins" in Zentyal are created in "Users" section (organizational unit) of domain structure, instead of "Groups"?

And where to create new custom groups (eg "Designers") - in "Users" section like default groups, or in separate "Groups" section?

Installation and Upgrades / Why Zentyal deleting all users when changing NetBIOS domain name?

« on: January 09, 2020, 06:27:46 pm »

When I changing NetBIOS domain name in Zentyal settings, I see the warning:

Code: [Select]

Changing the domain name will cause to reprovision the samba database. The users and groups will be imported from Zentyal LDAP, but you will have to rejoin all computers to the new domain.Ok, users-groups will be imported, continuing... And after finishing operation - I see empty list of users! All users are deleted!!
Why this happens? And how to restore users after changing NetBIOS domain name?

Directory and Authentication / Actual Zentyal 6.1 SSSD configuration example via direct LDAP connection

« on: January 09, 2020, 04:16:21 pm »

Can anybody provide fresh working SSSD configuration example, that works with current Zentyal 6.1 server via LDAP login and password, without generating host Kerberos ticket?

I have found https://wiki.zentyal.org/wiki/SSSD but seems it is too old because not working on Zentyal default setup.
It was work for me on Zentyal 4.x and Ubuntu 14.04, but not work on new Zentyal 6.x and Ubuntu 18.04 clients.

Also I have found https://wiki.zentyal.org/wiki/Authenticating_Linux_client_against_Samba but it works via generating Kerberos ticket for each host, that is too expensive.

Does anybody have any fresh sssd.conf, that works well with direct connection to Zentyal 6.x LDAP, without generating Kerberos ticket?

Installation and Upgrades / How to bind AD DNS names to external IP address?

« on: January 09, 2020, 04:10:33 pm »

I have server, hosted in virtual cloud, and it have internal IP address on network interface (eg 10.130.0.2).

All traffic are bridged to external IP (eg 84.201.151.2) via virtual private cloud.

And I can't understand, how can I bind Zentyal AD server to external IP, instead of internal?

If I fill external IP 84.201.151.2 into DNS zone together with internal, all works, but external AD clients sometimes receive internal IP address (10.130.0.2) and see connection errors.

If I remove 10.130.0.2 from DNS, I can't restart Samba with error:

Code: [Select]

Samba can't be provisioned if no IP addresses are set for domain org.digiterra.pro.
So what is right solution for bind Zentyal Active Directory domain to external IP address, that not match current network interface IP address?

Contributions / Tips&Tricks / Features Requests / Integrate [matrix] instant messaging server in Zentyal

« on: March 23, 2018, 07:08:34 am »

I want suggest you to integrate [matrix] instant messaging server in Zentyal, as replacement to eJabberd, or additionally to it.

[matrix] is an opensource federated ecosystem with all rich functional like in WhatsApp, Slack, Skype and other modern system. So this is next large step after XMPP technology. More info we can read here: https://matrix.org/docs/guides/faq.html#what-is-matrix

As comparison with XMPP, here is detailed description why Matrix is better: https://matrix.org/docs/guides/faq.html#what-is-the-difference-between-matrix-and-xmpp

Matrix Synapse server can be easily integrated into any LDAP or AD system via integrated Synapse LDAP Auth Provider module or via extended mxisd third-party module.

Installation and Upgrades / Changin NetBIOS domain name in Zentyal 4.1 deleting all domain users

« on: October 07, 2015, 09:30:02 pm »

I need to change NetBIOS domain name in Zentyal 4.1 system with already created users.
Before apply changes I see warning:

Changing the domain name will cause to reprovision the samba database. The users and groups will be imported from Zentyal LDAP, but you will have to rejoin all computers to the new domain.

It's ok that I must rejoin computers, and good that users and groups will be imported.

But when I apply changes, I see empty list in Users!
Why user database is lost? How I can restore users database?

Installation and Upgrades / Can't share folder with non-latin (Russian) symbols via Samba on Zentyal 4.1

« on: October 06, 2015, 09:18:34 am »

I want to share folder with non-latin (Russian) symbols via Samba on Zentyal 4.1, but got the error. Folder with English names shares normally. Here is screenshot of problem: http://i.imgur.com/26rJu7Z.png
Same problem is in English interface: http://i.imgur.com/tC9RmcY.png
I try to add folder "/тест" (Russian word "test"), but got the error:

Path /тест is not a directory

Seems that the problem is with encoding UTF-8 symbols in Zentyal scripts.

Description of problem in Russian for search engines:

Не работает расшаривание для общего доступа (Шаринг файлов) в "Добавить новый общий ресурс" через Samba если в пути есть папки с символами русских букв в Zentyal 4.1.

How can I fix this problem?
