Introduction
This wiki page will be used to track the integration effort of Samba 4 into SME 9+
Lead developer: Gzartman
Overview and Objectives
The primary objective of this effort is to create Active Directory support on SME 9+ with a focus on simplicity and easy integration, as is done on many of the other sub-systems on SME Server. Other distributions with Samba 4 support take the approach of providing a fairly complex front end to Samba 4 with many configuration parameters and options. Our approach for Samba 4 is to stream line implementation to provide a straight forward and simple set of UI parameters for the administrator to deploy Active Directory in a configuration that will work in most deployments. Support for the full array of Samba 4 options is provided under the hood in SME Server, but will be available primary from the console. The SME Server community may decide to create an Advanced Samba server-manager panel to control and configure some of the more advanced features available in Samba 4, but the Core SME Server deployment of Active Directory will remain focused on simplicity.
Deployment of Samba 4 on SME Server means that many of the authentication mechanisms on SME Server need to change to integrate with Active Directory, therefore this development effort is quite far reaching.
Samba 4 on SME Server is targeted for Koozali SME Server 10
Current Status
Current Release: Alpha 7
Samba 4 on SME Server will be provided by way of the package smeserver-samba, which will upgrade and obsolete e-smith-samba. The current release of Samba 4 on SME Server is available here: SME Server Samba 4 Packages
These packages are currently not provided by the Koozali buildsys because there is still a fair bit of work to do to integrate this code with existing SME services. Since Samba 4 on SME Server includes many other sub-systems, inclusion of the Samba 4 code is not being including in current development streams until the code is closer to release so as not to hold up other development activities. However, this code is available in CVS.
Samba 4 Packages
Upstream Centos 6 and 7 do not provide Samba 4 packages with full Active Directory support. This is because Samba 4 Kerberos is based upon Heimdal Kerberos whereas the upstream vendor uses MIT Kerberos. Heimdal Kerberos and MIT Kerberos are not compatible with one another and so the upstream vendor has decided to disable Kerberos support in Samba until such time as Samba supports MIT Kerberos. Details can be found here https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/MIT_Build and here https://blog.cryptomilk.org/2014/07/09/samba-ad-dc-in-fedora-and-rhel/
To provide Active Directory support, the Koozali devteam has decided to fork the upstream Samba 4 package and re-compile with Heimdal Kerberos support on Koozali SME Server 10. Details of this rebuild are located in bugzilla:9751. Support for Active Directory on SME 9 can be provided by Sernet Samba 4.2 packages, which are the last set of open source Sernet packages. However, the devteam is currently focusing development effort on SME 10.
Installation
RPMs for this release can be found here: SME Server Samba 4 Packages
Install Instructions:
- Download all rpms to a fresh SME 9.1 install.
- yum localinstall *.rpm
- signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
- Once the server comes back up, provision the domain with: signal-event provision-domain-controller admin_password
Note: The password utilities in the server-manager are not yet working. We will be working to include SSSD in the next alpha and then all password utilities and functions will work as expected.
Change Log / Release Notes
Alpha 7
- Implementation of Samba 4 on SME 10.
- Drop bootstrap-console patch for e-smith-base for provisioning samba 4 from the console. We'll add this back in later
Alpha 6
- Final alpha on SME 9. Going forward, this code will be moved to the SME 10 alpha release for ongoing development and testing
- Change the way we are naming alpha package versions because it is becoming difficult to apply alpha level changes with patch files. Each alpha release will have its own source archive. Source archive (.tar.xz) file version numbers will track with the alpha release number.
- Rewrite server-manager user accounts panel for AD integration, except for the Reset Password link. We won't be able to update this function until we deploy SSSD, which will come in the next release
- Move smb.conf and AD schema extension fragments to /etc/samba
- Extend AD schema to include the attributes: lockable, removable, and emailForward
- Change the koozliUser objectClass to smeExtended for extended schema attributes
- Get rid of the user-create-AD action because we don't have enough control over the user create process in a server-manager panel using an action. Instead, we added the esmith::util::createADUser() function that sets up a basic Active Directory user. This function is somewhat analogous to the useradd utility
- Drop "Legacy Mode," which was part of the user-create-AD action
- Replace user-create event with user-initialize
- Add user-create-profiledir and user-create-home actions as part of the user-intialize event, since the useradd utility used to do this
- Update user-modify, user-delete, user-lock events for AD integration
- Create user-AD-enable and user-AD-disable actions
- Extensive clean-up of smb.conf fragments now that we have a working Samba 4 deployment, including default configuration dbase parameters. This clean-up and enhancement results in a very clean smb.conf file
- Update qmail and .qmail template fragments and configuration to pull user data from the Active Directory. Spam and filtering fragments have been excluded because we have not yet decided how to handle these configuration in the Active Directory
- Further enhancement and refinement to esmith::AD
Alpha 5
- Extend Active Directory schema to include quota and smeCustom attributes via the koozaliUser objectClass
- Remove adjust-samba event and use services2adjust
- Add Group-create-AD action
- Design changes to provision-domain-controller and bootstrap-provision-dc events to provision samba entirely cold using ldif

- Re-write createlinks to flow a more logical sequence
- Fix dnsforwarder in smb.conf
- Fix several esmith::AD::User and esmith::AD::Group methods broken in 0.1-0-3 when we added runtime binding
Alpha 4

- Fix realm definition in provision action
Alpha 3
- Reconfigure provision event to account for default Samba complex password policy
- Abstract core LDAP queries in esmith::AD using runtime binding
Alpha 2
- Set requires to e-smith-base-5.6.0-30+ [SME:8668]

Active Directory Schema
Following is a direct dump of the active directory from a freshly provisioned SME Server domain. The DNS/Kerberos domain is domain.com, the hostname is virgin, and the windows domain is sme-server. The ipaddress for this test machine is 192.168.0.67. These data is quite long, but I found it very useful; as it is extremely difficult to find these attributes in any documentation about Samba 4 and ADDC:
Samba 4 Active Directory Schema
