NT Style Domains

Inter-Domain Trust Relationships

Chapter 4 101

Trusting a Samba Domain from an NT Domain

Logon as root and execute the following steps on the trusted Samba

Domain PDC:

Step 1. Add a turst account for the trusting NT domain to /etc/passwd. Add

the domain name with the “$” using the useradd command as follows:

$ useradd <trusting NT domain name>$

Due to the name length limitation of the useradd command, you may

need to edit /etc/passwd to add the trusting NT domain name account.

Step 2. Run smbpasswd to add a trusting NT domain Samba account to your

trusted Samba domain backend database and create a password for the

trusting account. This password is used by the trusting NT domain when

it establishes the trust relationship.

$ smbpasswd -a -i <trusting domain name>

Step 3. On the NT domain controller, run the User Manager utility. Go to

policies/trust relationship. Add the trusted Samba domain account for

CIFS Server and type a password established by the smbpasswd

command on the Samba Domain PDC.

Establishing a Trust Relationship on an HP CIFS

Member Server of an NT Domain or Windows

2000/2003 Domain

Since an HP CIFS Member Server passes domain authentication to a

domain controller, no special conﬁguration is required on the HP CIFS

Server. HP CIFS Member Server respects the trust relationships

established by the domain controller.
