hi,
I am trying to connect our Ubuntu laptops to an AD instance running on the cloud. Currently it is "Simple AD".
http://docs.aws.amazon.com/directoryservice/latest/admin-guide/directory_simple_ad.html
While checking and joining the domain are all fine, it is not able to recognize the user and not able to login as an AD user. In some other posts I saw it may not work with non-MS ADs and hence let me first check if Centrify Express is compatible with Simple AD.
If it is compatible, please see what the problem is. Here are some details.
# adinfo
Local host name: xxx-ltp-178
Joined to domain: simplead.xxx.xxx
Joined as: xxx-ltp-178.simplead.xxx.xxx
Pre-win2K name: xxx-ltp-178
Current DC: aws-xxx.simplead.xxx.xxx
Preferred site: Default-First-Site-Name
Zone: Auto Zone
Last password set: 2017-07-12 11:02:16 IST
CentrifyDC mode: connected
Licensed Features: Disabled
# adquery user vikram
vikram is not a zone user
# adquery user vikram -A
returns lots of lines which show it is a valid AD user. Some lines are
samAccountName:vikram
accountExpires:Never
passwordExpired:false
passwordExpires:Fri Oct 6 21:02:09 2017
passwordWillExpire:86
nextPasswordChange:Tue Jul 11 21:02:09 2017
lastPasswordChange:Sat Jul 8 21:02:09 2017
accountLocked:false
accountDisabled:false
requireMfa:false
zoneEnabled:false
So as you can see, its a valid AD user and the laptop is clearly connected to AD. So not sure why it doesnt recognize the user. Also su does not work
# su - vikram
No passwd entry for user 'vikram'
# su - vikram@simplead.xxx.xxx
No passwd entry for user 'vikram@simplead.xxx.xxx'
Please let me know what could be wrong.
Thanks,
Vikram
