Installation and Upgrades / [SOLVED] zentyal 3.0 & subsonic

« on: December 14, 2012, 05:10:32 pm »

I have successfully managed to get subsonic to authenicate against zentyal 2.0 ldap directory by using this guide:
http://trac.zentyal.org/wiki/Documentation/Community/HowTo/Subsonic

I can't get it to work with zentyal 3.0

Any suggestions?
Thanks

News and Announcements / Re: Status of the Samba 4.0 integration in Zentyal 3.0

« on: December 13, 2012, 04:33:29 pm »

We also plan to implement more checks in the Zentyal Samba module to avoid common configuration mistakes, and add the possibility to recover from them, for example, allowing easy reconfiguration if Samba has been provisioned with a wrong domain name.

Any idea when this might be implemented and released?

Installation and Upgrades / Re: realm name and samba logon problems - workaround

« on: December 12, 2012, 01:42:23 pm »

Am I correct thinking that this works only if your [fqdn - ".com"] is shorted than 16 chars ?

You could be right as my fqdn is 15 charaters without the .com on the end.  Do you know if it is possible to miss of the .com during the initial setup (which is when the realm name is set) and then add it to the fqdn after?

Installation and Upgrades / Re: zentyal 2.2 ldap master and slave

« on: December 12, 2012, 11:31:07 am »

Sorry, I am not being very clear which probably only serves to demonstrate my lack of knowledge regarding ldap 

The best you can have is to manage accounts on LDAP master only. Then you don't care if authentication is done against one or another LDAP server as long as this is transparent for you and users. Am I correct ?

yes this is exactly what I want, basically
server 1 is the master server that controls the gateway, dns, dhcp and mail, etc but also has a local samba share enabled;
server 2 is a dedicated samba file server
I don't really care which one is the master ldap server (probably best if server 2 is as it's not exposed to the real world) just as long as the user logon is the same and transparent for both servers.

I was under the impression that I would need a 3rd server to act as the ldap master the this sort of set up as I can't install any modules that rely on the ldap authentication on the ldap master server?

Installation and Upgrades / realm name and samba logon problems - workaround

« on: December 12, 2012, 11:24:29 am »

I have being having a similar problem to the guys in this post:
http://forum.zentyal.org/index.php/topic,12418.msg51123.html#msg51123
in that the realm name is automatically set to be the same of the as the fqdn but then the .com suffix (I think this is called the TLN) is omitted form the NetBIOS domain name.  The problem with this is that the windows clients are not able to logon to the local samba domain.  If you simply try to add the suffix back in using the File Sharing module admin page, you get the error that the NetBIOS domain name is too log.  I have also found that changing the realm name in the krb5.conf file makes no difference so I have resorted to the following work around:
1. create an exhaustible file in /etc/zentyal/hooks called samba.postsetconf
2. use the following command to find the realm name in the smb.conf file and replace it with your fqdn:

Code: [Select]

#!/bin/sh

sed -i 's/YOUR_FQDN.COM/YOUR_FQDN/g' /etc/samba/smb.confThen restart the module, you will still find the NetBIOS domain name listed in the file sharing admin page without the suffix but you windows clients will now be able to logon to the samba domain

This is a very rough and read way of doing things which simply reflects my lack of programming knowledge and I am more than happy if someone can provide a more elegant method

Thanks for your reply.

1 - Why then do you need master/slave design ?
2 - I also understood (probably wrongly) from your first post that you have 2 servers

You are correct, but I want both to have the file sharing module installed as both servers have large raid storage, but I only want one ldap server and I don't really want a third machine running just for this.  If I can get one of the machine to run a virtual instance that either acts as a ldap master or I suppose I could get the virtual instance to act as the file share?

Thanks for the reply, can I set up the ldap master server as a virtual machine and then authenticate the host against that?

Sorry, I don't understand what you mean by "ldap master server as a virtual machine" neither what "authenticate host against that" would mean.

Sorry, I will be more specific:
Can I:
1. setup zentyal 2.2 core on my physical server
2. set up a virtual installation on the physical server
3. configure the virtual machine to act as the master ldap database
4. install the file sharing module on the physical server but get them to authenticate against the ldap database on the virtual machine?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply, can I set up the ldap master server as a virtual machine and then authenticate the host against that?

Just curious, what are the stability issues you face with 3.0 ?

Simple things like the apparmor issue with samba, not being able to log into the windows domain as the realm name is automatically set to the host domain name but this is too long to act as the samba domain name

Installation and Upgrades / zentyal 2.2 ldap master and slave

« on: December 12, 2012, 08:47:30 am »

I have 2 servers, I want one to be the master ldap server and the other to be a slave that authenticates against the master.  I currently run zentyal 2.0 but this requires a separate ldap server as it not possible to run a master ldap server and file sharing on the same machine. 

I have been trying out zentyal 3 as I though samba4 would get around this problem but alas v3.0 is simply not stable enough at present.  So my question is if zentyal 2.2 is capable of running as a ldap master and operate file sharing on the same machine?
Thanks

Alternatively use the command:

Code: [Select]

aa-logprofAnd use Allow for the options given.

Then try to restart samba again

@btzmacin

Thanks for this, I have experienced exactly the same problem.  I simply un-installed apparour which solved the problem.

Please can you explain in a little more detail what changes you made to the apparour profiles to get things working?

Thanks

Installation and Upgrades / Re: can't start samba

« on: December 08, 2012, 02:34:23 pm »

Thanks for the reply.

Having browsed through the forum in a little more detail, I found this post:
http://forum.zentyal.org/index.php/topic,13188.0.html
Which reports exactly the same problem, which appears to be related to the apparmor profile for either samba or bind9.  Having disabled and removed apparmour the samba module now stars without issue.  I am not terrible comfortable running a server expposed to the world without apparmour so I would be grateful if a guru might be able to explain what I need to do with the profiles in order to make it work?

Thanks

Installation and Upgrades / Re: Migration to Zentyal 3

« on: December 07, 2012, 12:32:58 pm »

We expect to have the migration tool before the end of the year.

Will this migrate from Zentyal 2.0 or just from 2.2?
Will it also migrate zarafa data (from 6.4 to whatever version Zentyal 3.0 is running)?
Thanks
