Experimenting with Samba Domain Controller

Development Testing
8

Hi @davidep ,

I’ve tried to install/configure Samba AD, twice, as follow:

Test 1

  1. Install NS 7b1, from scratch
  2. Install the updates
  3. Edit the “Organisation contacts”
  4. Edit the “Self-signed certificate”
  5. Add the “Account provider: Samba Active Directory” package
  6. Configure Samba AD

Test 2

  1. Install NS 7b1, from scratch
  2. Install the updates
  3. Edit the “Organisation contacts”
  4. Edit the “Self-signed certificate”
  5. Add the “Account provider: Samba Active Directory” package
  6. Reboot the system
  7. Configure Samba AD

Unfortunately, on both tests, I’ve encountered the same issue at the configuration of the Samba AD, no matter if the system was rebooted or not.

In both cases, the issue was solved in the same manner:

Without leaving the page, I have enabled the “Create a bridge interface for the green network” and then I have pressed the “START DC” button.
After that, the process of the Samba AD ended without issues.

Here is the link for the “message” log for the Test 2, maybe will help:

Is there anybody else who encountered the same issue?

PS
The installation of the NS 7b1 was on a dedicated hardware.
