Trusting a Samba Domain from an NT Domain
Logon as root and execute the following steps on the trusted Samba Domain PDC:
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.
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>
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 a Samba Domain
or an NT Domain
HP CIFS Member Servers of an NT Domain will automatically respect the trust relationships established by
their domain controllers. No extra configuration is required.
