Integrating Samba with Server Suite

Delinea provides a standalone adbindproxy package containing the components that are necessary for Server Suite to integrate with open-source Samba. Integration enables you to configure the DirectControl agent and Samba to work together properly after you have installed the integration components from the adbindproxy package and joined agent-controlled computers to a zone.

The integrated solution, composed of the DirectControl agent (installed separately), open-source Samba, and adbindproxy, provides the following:

• Samba and the DirectControl agent use the same Active Directory computer object without conflicts.

• Consistent user and group attributes are applied on files across Windows, Linux and UNIX computers.

• All UNIX user identity attributes, including the UID, GID, home directory, and login shell in UNIX profiles, are centrally stored and managed in Active Directory.

• Both Kerberos and NTLM Samba authentication methods are supported.

• Standard Samba access-control features are implemented and augmented by the Server Suite zones technology.
