Hi Vitor,
Are all the users of the linux stations imported automatically to AD or did you have to import them manually?
If they were automatically imported, did you have to do something with their passwords?
If you also have a Windows station joined to AD, can you use RSAT and see all the users of all the stations (Linux and Windows)?
I am asking those questions because when I install AD as Account Provider on a NethServer, I have to import the users and groups into AD. Doing so, it seems that the importation is creating new passwords for the imported users: the old paswords don’t work.
If AD doesn’t create new passwords, it might be that it cannot compares with the original encrypted passwords because it uses a different algorithm for encryption…
If your users with their passwords are automatically imported, it means that there is something missing with the installation of AD as Account provider because of the above problem.
Also, the installation of AD changes the user:group of the home directory to uid:uid. With a script, I had to change it recursively to user:domain users@FQDN i.e for the user toto it then became toto@FQDN:domain users@FQDN.
I had to do nothing to the mail directories because AD used the same FQDN for the NetBIOS domain name but without the final TLD.
For the password, after a suggestion from Markus: [SOLVED- almost] AD as the Account provider - changing user password, I used the “bad methods like storing the passwords in clear text” because with encrypted password, AD was not able to compare the new password it encrypts to the original stored encrypted one. That is why I think that AD uses a different algorytm to encrypt the password…
