Access/Syncronize NextCloud with Samba AD profile Directories

[jlibster (Jonah Libster)]

NethServer Version: 7.3 RC3 (all updates installed)
Module: nethserver-nextcloud

Folks, people are liking a lot of nethserver but asking questions. They like the Nextcloud app but want to know if the samba ad profile directory files can be accessed with nextcloud since it appears to use the same user/password for access to profiles. Is there a way to setup the nextcloud default profiles so they can view/upload/down from the /var/lib/nethserver/home/(ad profile username) directory? Thanks!

Link nextcloud to samba users home folders

You may try with CIFS external storage management (login through NextCloud with username/password will be used for access to SAMBA). You should enable the Apps: [image] Then in Admin panel, you should go to External Storages: [image] I’ve tried on NS 6.8 and it works pretty well and seamless, not sure if it works with NS7 + SAMBA AD. I would ask @giacomo to elaborate his answer, because if this is the case I may also overlooked the security point of view.

We did try, it didn’t work but I think that is because we went in over “red” (public) interface and I think it will only work if we go in on the green interface. (Firewall logs show rejection when trying to connect to domain CIFS). Makes sense logically. Will report when we remove our router from the equation (routing from router to nethserver public interface for now).
