HowTo join xUbuntu 16.04 Desktop to NethServer-7 AD and automount ServerHomeDir

Howto
3

after joining a fedora client to the AD-domain i did this how to on a debian 9 xfce.

worked perfect!, did not have the chance to test the auto-mounted “nethome”

Followed this How-To to “the letter” except:

override_homedir = /home/%u@%d
override_shell = /bin/bash

in did follow your centos how-to

# Change and add /etc/sssd/sssd.conf:
use_fully_qualified_names = False
fallback_homedir = /home/%u

override_homedir = /home/%u
override_shell = /bin/bash

in the footsteps of my fedora setup: managing sudo right in AD-groups; omitted

+-+ Set sudoers permission:
echo "administrator@example.org ALL=(ALL) ALL" | sudo tee -a /etc/sudoers
echo "admin@example.org ALL=(ALL) ALL" | sudo tee -a /etc/sudoers

and created a sudo group in the AD (sudo@example.org) and added the domain admins group to it as members and a regular user (i.e.john@example.org) as well.

The users in the sudo@example.org group have sudo rights on the client. :grinning:

EDIT: overlooked something (not sure if it is important) just automatically typed ad.example.org:

realm join --user=administrator ad.example.org

instead of:

realm join --user=administrator example.org
