Looking for an alternative to Samba and Windbind, I decided to take a bet on Centrify's Linux Express product with the hope of rolling it out to a production environment. In the course of attempting to get my Samba environment up and running (with the assistance of CE), I encountered an unexpected and unpleasant development: I lost my ability to login using my former local UNIX admin account.
I have tried whitelisting the accounts under /etc/centrifydc/user.ignore&& /etc/centrifydc/group.ignore, and confirmed that my user is still a member of the 'sudo' group (there is no 'admin' group under Ubuntu 16.04LTS.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
So far, I am not seeing a whole lot of upside from moving away from Winbind.
Also, can someone expand on what the Direct Manage Express product is? I installed in on my Windows admin system and oddly it simply installed Deployment Manager, no management options contained inside of that program...
Thanks in advance!
