Wow that title is a mouthful. So I installed Nas4free (9.1.0.1-636) on a server with ample storage and wanted to give my end users access to this storage. Why Nas4free? Because it’s freakin easy to administer, fast, and ZFS snapshots are pretty damn nice. And free.<\/p>\n
So, nas4free on a server. I also had active directory with about 120 windows users. Hell if I’m going to setup 120 “local” users on nas4free AND have to manage 120 “local” users passwords when they forget. No way. So I could either use LDAP or Active Directory – in my case I chose AD.<\/p>\n
Under Access, choose Active Directory (This actually joins the server to your domain, so I assume your network and other settings are already correct)
\nDomain Controller name: MYDC1
\ndomain name (DNS): MYDOMAIN.LOCAL
\nDomain name (NetBIOS): MYDOMAIN
\nAdministrator name: ADMINISTRATOR
\nAdministration password: ******<\/p>\n
Save. Then verify that it joined your domain by clicking on Diagnostics, then Information. Click on MS Domain.
\nYou should see the line “Join to ‘MYDOMAIN’ is OK” and “checking the trust secret for domain MYDOMAIN via RPC calls succeeded” as well as a list of all of your domain user accounts imported.<\/p>\n
But then I needed to change CIFS\/SMB to allow my users:
\nClick on Services then CIFS\/SMB
\nAuthentication should already be set to Active Directory. I had issues with protocol, so I changed it to NT1. I also changed the workgroup to be the netBIOS name from above.<\/p>\n
Then, on shares, I created a HOmeDirs with the following path
\n\/mnt\/zfs\/zfsdataset\/homedirs\/%U
\nMade it browseable and with Guest Access enabled
\nThen enabled Shadow Copy
\nIn AUX parameters I entered:
\nvalid users = %U
\nforce user = %U<\/p>\n
Then, all you have to do manually is create each directory:
\nSSH to your nas4free
\nmkdir \/mnt\/zfs\/zfsdataset\/homedirs\/USERNAME1 etc<\/p>\n
I ended up chmod -R 777 \/mnt\/zfs\/zfsdataset\/homedirs<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
