Nice catch, @flatspin: updated the screenshot:
Install a local accounts provider; once installed, it must not be removed
This is a further enhancement. I hope to fix nethserver-dc and implement the procedure to change its IP address from the web interface.
I like the idea provided by @davidep but like others in this thread, I think that there needs to be more documentation / help for this feature (including a more comprehensive explanation of how a NS based server could be implemented into an existing Microsoft based infrastructure).
Also, maybe some form of āreset back to defaultā function that reverts the server back to the default / original IP and removes both authentication providers.
great idea!
If that would fold, am immediately at the test thereby.
We have a package in testing! To install /cc @quality_team
yum --enablerepo=nethserver-testing update nethserver-sssd
We should also add some comments like Iāve seen @davidep (I vaguely recall) post, for example, if youāre building a standalone mail server, then ldap is best and it needs to be stressed that authenticated file sharing must use samba ad.
How would you reword it?
There are two kinds of accounts provider available for this local server:
* Samba Active Directory; ideal for Windows networks and Outlook based email, required for authenticated file sharing and windows client administration.
* LDAP; ideal for standalone gateways and mail servers, file sharing is not authenticated.
Iām spitballing hereā¦
This is a big word! I wouldnāt say it here 
Yeah, wasnāt sure really, like I said, Iām spitballingā¦ kinda like using those Active Directory words too.
LOL 
Was not me! Itās Samba Active Directory
Outlook and Active directory, isnāt that a bit like devil worship? 
Seriously, I am not sure about including terms like Outlook (which could use IMAP and POP3 accounts) or include āfile sharing is not authenticatedā (file shares could also be achieved via nextcloud / webdav and LDAP authentication ā therefore the statement is misleading)
@medworthy agreed, itās a nightmare really, how do you condense the choice between samba4 and ldap to a couple of sentences the enthusiastic and uneducated can understand and use.
Maybe we should push samba4 by default and have ldap available to those that know what theyāre doing, in one office my mail and web server is ldap and the file share and sync server is samba cuz reasons.
But I hate having a gateway share office server functions, even at home, to easy for a newb to offer all the services to the internetz.
Well, maybe I was a bit off-topic by reviving this discussion threadā¦
The goal of the enhancement to āUsers and groupsā page is not to depict any possible scenario to deploy NethServer (aka, gateway, mail, file sharing, pbx - soon,ā¦). Instead, itās giving a bare minimum information and directing the User to the right page.
To keep it bare my proposal consists of:
I would release it as-is. We can improve it with our experience.
I agree with with @davidep . Someone who is setting up even a "simple homeserver " has some skills and should know what he/she is doiing. The hint about the choice is enough. Everyone should recognize that he/she has to do a decision and every decision can only be made if there is a knowledge about the matter. Itās never a good idea to a blind decision, not IRL nor by setting up a computer.
I agree, letās test it so we can tailor it to our needs along the way.
It could be a first step in that direction
