apt -y install realmd sssd sssd-tools libnss-sss libpam-sss adcli samba-common-bin oddjob oddjob-mkhomedir packagekit

[2]	Join in Windows Active Directory Domain.

# change DNS settings to refer to AD

root@dlp:~#

vi /etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml

    nameservers:
        addresses: [10.0.0.100]

root@dlp:~#

# join in Active Directory domain

root@dlp:~#

realm join SRV.WORLD

Password for Administrator:

# AD Administrator password

# verify it's possible to get an AD user info or not

root@dlp:~#

id Serverworld@srv.world

# change setting if need

root@dlp:~#

vi /etc/pam.d/common-session

# add to the end if need (create Home Dir automatically when initial login)

session optional        pam_mkhomedir.so skel=/etc/skel umask=077

# verify it's possible to login as an AD user or not

root@dlp:~#

exit

logout

Creating directory '/home/serverworld@srv.world'.
serverworld@srv.world@dlp:~$     # logined

[3]	If you'd like to omit domain name for AD user, configure like follows.

root@dlp:~#

vi /etc/sssd/sssd.conf

# line 16 : change

use_fully_qualified_names =

False

root@dlp:~#

systemctl restart sssd

root@dlp:~#

id Administrator

uid=1259200500(administrator) gid=1259200513(domain users) groups=1259200513(domain users),1259200572(denied rodc password replication group),1259200512(domain admins),1259200518(schema admins),1259200520(group policy creator owners),1259200519(enterprise admins)

[4]	AD users UID/GID are asigned randomly, but if you'd like to asign fixed UID/GID, configure like follows. Add UNIX attributes to AD accounts first, refer to here. This example is based on the environment AD accounts have [uidNumber/gidNumber] attributes. Next, change SSSD settings.

root@dlp:~#

vi /etc/sssd/sssd.conf

# line 17 : change

ldap_id_mapping =

False

# add to the end

ldap_user_uid_number = uidNumber
ldap_user_gid_number = gidNumber

# clear cache and restart sssd

root@dlp:~#

rm -f /var/lib/sss/db/*

root@dlp:~#

systemctl restart sssd

root@dlp:~#

id serverworld

uid=2000(serverworld) gid=100(users) groups=100(users)
