第 2 章 Connecting RHEL systems directly to AD using Samba Winbind


To connect a RHEL system to Active Directory (AD), use:

  • Samba Winbind to interact with the AD identity and authentication source
  • realmd to detect available domains and configure the underlying RHEL system services.

2.1. Overview of direct integration using Samba Winbind

Samba Winbind emulates a Windows client on a Linux system and communicates with AD servers.

You can use the realmd service to configure Samba Winbind by:

  • Configuring network authentication and domain membership in a standard way.
  • Automatically discovering information about accessible domains and realms.
  • Not requiring advanced configuration to join a domain or realm.

Note that:

  • Direct integration with Winbind in a multi-forest AD setup requires bidirectional trusts.
  • Remote forests must trust the local forest to ensure that the idmap_ad plug-in handles remote forest users correctly.

Samba’s winbindd service provides an interface for the Name Service Switch (NSS) and enables domain users to authenticate to AD when logging into the local system.

Using winbindd provides the benefit that you can enhance the configuration to share directories and printers without installing additional software.
