Samba AD certificates

Even if wrong from a security point of view, disabling the certificate validity check from Java could ease the things.

Otherwise you could follow the official Samba wiki

Only some paths are different in our installations.

The NSDC container root directory is

 /var/lib/machines/nsdc

Append

/var/lib/samba/private

You can modify smb.conf in nsdc manually - it isn’t a template.

The drawback of doing the right thing is remember to renew the certificate!
