30Samba-3 supports NT4-style domain trust relationships. This is a feature that many sites
31will want to use if they migrate to Samba-3 from an NT4-style domain and do not want to
32adopt Active Directory or an LDAP-based authentication backend. This chapter explains
33some background information regarding trust relationships and how to create them. It is now
34possible for Samba-3 to trust NT4 (and vice versa), as well as to create Samba-to-Samba 
35trusts.

44The use of interdomain trusts requires use of <command>winbind</command>, so the
45<command>winbindd</command> daemon must be running. Winbind operation in this mode is
46dependent on the specification of a valid UID range and a valid GID range in the &smb.conf; file.
47These are specified respectively using:
48<smbconfblock>
49<smbconfoption name="idmap uid">10000-20000</smbconfoption>
50<smbconfoption name="idmap gid">10000-20000</smbconfoption>

56The range of values specified must not overlap values used by the host operating system and must
57not overlap values used in the passdb backend for POSIX user accounts. The maximum value is
58limited by the upper-most value permitted by the host operating system. This is a UNIX kernel
59limited parameter. Linux kernel 2.6-based systems support a maximum value of 4294967295 
60(32-bit unsigned variable).

77Samba-3 can participate in Samba-to-Samba as well as in Samba-to-MS Windows NT4-style
78trust relationships. This imparts to Samba scalability similar to that with MS Windows NT4.

87Given that Samba-3 can function with a scalable backend authentication database such as LDAP, and given its
88ability to run in primary as well as backup domain control modes, the administrator would be well-advised to
89consider alternatives to the use of interdomain trusts simply because, by the very nature of how trusts
90function, this system is fragile.  That was, after all, a key reason for the development and adoption of
91Microsoft Active Directory.

106MS Windows NT3/4-type security domains employ a nonhierarchical security structure.
107The limitations of this architecture as it effects the scalability of MS Windows networking
108in large organizations is well known. Additionally, the flat namespace that results from
109this design significantly impacts the delegation of administrative responsibilities in
110large and diverse organizations.

119Microsoft developed Active Directory Service (ADS), based on Kerberos and LDAP, as a means
120of circumventing the limitations of the older technologies. Not every organization is ready
121or willing to embrace ADS. For small companies the older NT4-style domain security paradigm
122is quite adequate, and so there remains an entrenched user base for whom there is no direct
123desire to go through a disruptive change to adopt ADS.

133<indexterm><primary>one direction</primary></indexterm>
134With Windows NT, Microsoft introduced the ability to allow different security domains
135to effect a mechanism so users from one domain may be given access rights and privileges
136in another domain. The language that describes this capability is couched in terms of
137<emphasis>trusts</emphasis>. Specifically, one domain will <emphasis>trust</emphasis> the users
138from another domain. The domain from which users can access another security domain is
139said to be a trusted domain. The domain in which those users have assigned rights and privileges
140is the trusting domain. With NT3.x/4.0 all trust relationships are always in one direction only,
141so if users in both domains are to have privileges and rights in each others' domain, then it is
142necessary to establish two relationships, one in each direction.

149<indexterm><primary>transitive</primary></indexterm>
150<indexterm><primary>explicit trust</primary></indexterm>
151Further, in an NT4-style MS security domain, all trusts are nontransitive. This means that if there are three
152domains (let's call them red, white, and blue), where red and white have a trust relationship, and white and
153blue have a trust relationship, then it holds that there is no implied trust between the red and blue domains.
154Relationships are explicit and not transitive.

164<indexterm><primary>NT4-style domains</primary></indexterm>
165New to MS Windows 2000 ADS security contexts is the fact that trust relationships are two-way by default.
166Also, all inter-ADS domain trusts are transitive. In the case of the red, white, and blue domains, with
167Windows 2000 and ADS, the red and blue domains can trust each other. This is an inherent feature of ADS
168domains. Samba-3 implements MS Windows NT4-style interdomain trusts and interoperates with MS Windows 200x ADS
169security domains in similar manner to MS Windows NT4-style domains.

181There are two steps to creating an interdomain trust relationship. To effect a two-way trust
182relationship, it is necessary for each domain administrator to create a trust account for the 
183other domain to use in verifying security credentials.

196For MS Windows NT4, all domain trust relationships are configured using the

199<guimenuitem>Trust Relationships</guimenuitem>. Next to the lower box labeled
200<guilabel>Permitted to Trust this Domain</guilabel> are two buttons, <guibutton>Add</guibutton>
201and <guibutton>Remove</guibutton>. The <guibutton>Add</guibutton> button will open a panel in which
202to enter the name of the remote domain that will be able to assign access rights to users in 
203your domain. You will also need to enter a password for this trust relationship, which the 
204trusting domain will use when authenticating users from the trusted domain.
205The password needs to be typed twice (for standard confirmation).

221A trust relationship will work only when the other (trusting) domain makes the appropriate connections
222with the trusted domain. To consummate the trust relationship, the administrator launches the
223Domain User Manager from the menu selects <guilabel>Policies</guilabel>, then select
224<guilabel>Trust Relationships</guilabel>, and clicks on the <guibutton>Add</guibutton> button
225next to the box that is labeled <guilabel>Trusted Domains</guilabel>. A panel opens in which
226must be entered the name of the remote domain as well as the password assigned to that trust.

331This description is meant to be a fairly short introduction about how to set up a Samba server so
332that it can participate in interdomain trust relationships. Trust relationship support in Samba
333is at an early stage, so do not be surprised if something does not function as it should.

341Each of the procedures described next assumes the peer domain in the trust relationship is controlled by a
342Windows NT4 server. However, the remote end could just as well be another Samba-3  domain. It can be clearly
343seen, after reading this document, that combining Samba-specific parts of what's written in the following
344sections leads to trust between domains in a purely Samba environment.

356In order to set the Samba PDC to be the trusted party of the relationship, you first need
357to create a special account for the domain that will be the trusting party. To do that,
358you can use the <command>smbpasswd</command> utility. Creating the trusted domain account is 
359similar to creating a trusted machine account. Suppose, your domain is
360called SAMBA, and the remote domain is called RUMBA. The first step
361will be to issue this command from your favorite shell:

369Added user rumba$

371
372where <option>-a</option> means to add a new account into the
373passdb database and <option>-i</option> means to <quote>create this

381<indexterm><primary>/etc/passwd</primary></indexterm>
382The account name will be <quote>rumba$</quote> (the name of the remote domain).
383If this fails, you should check that the trust account has been added to the system
384password database (<filename>/etc/passwd</filename>). If it has not been added, you
385can add it manually and then repeat the previous step.

392<indexterm><primary>Windows NT Server</primary></indexterm>
393After issuing this command, you will be asked to enter the password for the account. You can use any password
394you want, but be aware that Windows NT will not change this password until 7 days following account creation.
395After the command returns successfully, you can look at the entry for the new account (in the standard way as
396appropriate for your configuration) and see that the account's name is really RUMBA$ and it has the
397<quote>I</quote> flag set in the flags field. Now you are ready to confirm the trust by establishing it from
398Windows NT Server.

466It means the password you gave is correct and the NT4 server says the account is ready for
467interdomain connection and not for ordinary connection.  After that, be patient;
468it can take a while (especially in large networks), but eventually you should see

489Although <application>Domain User Manager</application> is not present in Windows 2000, it is 
490also possible to establish an NT4-style trust relationship with a Windows 2000 domain 
491controller running in mixed mode as the trusting server. It should also be possible for 
492Samba to trust a Windows 2000 server; however, more testing is still needed in this area.

500After <link linkend="samba-trusted-domain">creating the interdomain trust account on the Samba server</link>
501as described previously, open <application>Active Directory Domains and Trusts</application> on the AD
502controller of the domain whose resources you wish Samba users to have access to. Remember that since NT4-style
503trusts are not transitive, if you want your users to have access to multiple mixed-mode domains in your AD
504forest, you will need to repeat this process for each of those domains. With <application>Active Directory
505domains and trusts</application> open, right-click on the name of the Active Directory domain that will trust
506our Samba domain and choose <guimenuitem>Properties</guimenuitem>, then click on the
507<guilabel>Trusts</guilabel> tab. In the upper part of the panel, you will see a list box labeled
508<guilabel>Domains trusted by this domain:</guilabel> and an <guilabel>Add...</guilabel> button next to it.
509Press this button and, just as with NT4, you will be prompted for the trusted domain name and the relationship
510password. Press <emphasis>OK</emphasis> and after a moment, Active Directory will respond with
511<computeroutput>The trusted domain has been added and the trust has been verified.</computeroutput> Your
512Samba users can now be granted access to resources in the AD domain.

520Interdomain trust relationships should not be attempted on networks that are unstable
521or that suffer regular outages. Network stability and integrity are key concerns with

542<para>If there is a computer account in the Windows

544occur.  If there is no computer account (removed or never existed), or if that 
545account is still intact (i.e., you just joined it to another domain), everything 
546seems to be fine. By default, when you unjoin a domain (the Windows 200x 
547domain), the computer tries to automatically disable the computer account in 
548the domain.  If you are running as an account that has privileges to do this 
549when you unjoin the machine, it is done; otherwise it is not done.

557<para>
558If you use the <command>smbldap-useradd</command> script to create a trust
559account to set up interdomain trusts, the process of setting up the trust will
560fail. The account that was created in the LDAP database will have an account
561flags field that has <literal>[W          ]</literal>, when it must have
562<literal>[I          ]</literal> for interdomain trusts to work.
563</para>
564
565<para>Here is a simple solution.
566Create a machine account as follows:
567<screen>
568&rootprompt; smbldap-useradd -w domain_name
569</screen>
570Then set the desired trust account password as shown here:
571<screen>
572&rootprompt; smbldap-passwd domain_name\$
573</screen>
574Using a text editor, create the following file:
575<screen>
576dn: uid=domain_name$,ou=People,dc={your-domain},dc={your-top-level-domain}
577changetype: modify
578sambaAcctFlags: [I         ]
579</screen>
580Then apply the text file to the LDAP database as follows:
581<screen>
582&rootprompt; ldapmodify -x -h localhost \
583 -D "cn=Manager,dc={your-domain},dc={your-top-level-domain}" \
584 -W -f /path-to/foobar
585</screen>
586Create a single-sided trust under the NT4 Domain User Manager, then execute:
587<screen>
588&rootprompt; net rpc trustdom establish domain_name
589</screen>
590</para>
591
592<para>
593It works with Samba-3  and NT4 domains, and also with Samba-3 and Windows 200x ADS in mixed mode.
594Both domain controllers, Samba and NT must have the same WINS server; otherwise,
595the trust will never work.
