Ubuntu 9.10 Authentication
Introduction
The following details the setup of Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala as a desktop to authenticate users against SME. The method has been tested using Ubuntu installed in a VirtualBox virtual machine on a Windows XP host.
Install Ubuntu
Download the Ubuntu .iso and install. When prompted for a user name give a non-SME user such as administrator as this first user effectively becomes a local user with sudo root access. Complete install, login and apply all updates.
Additional Packages
Use the package manager to install additional packages
auth_client_config winbind
Authentication Modifications
Open a Terminal cli and change to root privileges
sudo su
Using your favourite editor, open /etc/nsswitch.conf and find the hosts: line. Change it to
hosts: file wins dns
Change to the auth-client-config tool profile directory
cd /etc/auth-client-config/profile.d
Using your favourite editor create a new file called acc-sme and enter
[sme] users: compat winbind passwd: compat winbind shadow: compat
Save and apply the pam authorisation changes
auth-client-config -a -p sme
