I have Active Directory sign in working on an Ubuntu 12.04 box. When an active directory user signs in, I would like to add them to the group sambasharers. Where and how would I add this declaration?

I guess I should add that I am using Samba and winbind for authentication.

  • Even better: have whether or not you add the user to the local linux group depend on whether they are a member of a specific AD group.

  • That would definitely be a major plus. Everyone who "should" be logging in to this box will be a part of the progs group in AD.

Simple and probably not scalable solution:

Assuming you've already set up your Linux box to authenticate to Active Directory, then you just add each user who should be in the group to the sambasharers group on the UNIX Attributes tab in Active Directory Users and Groups. If you don't see the UNIX Attributes tab, see this Microsoft KB article.

  • Works for me. I'm a linux person and am just getting used to the Windows side of things. Thanks!
