Lattus A10 Access Node Installation Guide

Step 6: Install Centrify
Samba Without Active
Directory
The system requirement for CIFS access without Active Directory is
having a simple set of pre-configured users. The general idea is to have
10 users with names in the form
lattus_user1
through
lattus_user_10
preconfigured in
/etc/passwd
and in the
smbpasswd
file.
At a customer site, be sure the customer provides a range of
uids/gids
.
Following is an overview of the installation and configuration steps:
• Install all the same packages as for the Active Directory
configuration, but then disable much of the functionality.
This is because the Centrify Samba package depends on many base
libraries installed by Centrify DirectControl, even though this
configuration does not enable DirectControl itself.
• It is not necessary to perform the steps to create the
_quantum_sfu
zone on a separate Windows box.
• If the
_quantum_sfu
zone is already in an Active Directory, this will
not affect this configuration, so it is possible to have both Active-
Directory-enabled Lattus systems and non-AD Lattus systems in the
same environment.
This is because the non-AD systems do not join the Active Directory
domain and thus have no access to the
_quantum_sfu
zone
configuration.
