VSI OpenVMS SAMBA Joining to windows 2022 AD Domain

Post by e-man » Fri May 03, 2024 9:54 am

Hi All,

Just wondering if anyone has tried join VSI OpenVMS to windows Samba domain?
I am currently running OpenVMS V9.2-2 on a VMWare Pro Workstation server VM and trying to join this VM to my Windows 2022 AD Samba domain using X86VMS-SAMBA-V0410-16D-1.

I run the sambaconf on my openvms vm and it appears to be joining the domain but at the end the last line spits out an “unable to join domain error”. When I check windows AD users and computers I can see that the VMS vm has been added to the computers OU in the AD.

However I cannot map to “Public” Shares which are configured in the SAMBA SMB.conf shares are wide open to everyone. I can see that windows AD account samba users (for the windows user account I tried to map to public shares on VMS server) has been auto created in openvms. Which is what I set in SMBCONF, so this part works.

It seems that it’s partially setup correct and just trying to figure out what is wrong.

Here is my OpenVMS samba testparm output (took out my real domain & servernames)…

# Global parameters

client min protocol = NT1
dedicated keytab file = /samba$root/lib/krb5.keytab

store dos attributes = Yes
vms rms format = stream


[public2]
admin users = "my domain\Domain Admins"
comment = Pulbic Share 2
guest ok = Yes
inherit owner = windows and unix
path = [000000.shares.public2]
read only = No
vms rms format = stream


[public3]
admin users = administrators "my domain\domain admins"
comment = Public Share on OpenVms vms87
guest ok = Yes
path = [000000.samba.shares.public3]
read only = No
store dos attributes = Yes
vms rms format = stream



Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks,
