In this samba/AD guide, the author puts a domain admin password in clear text into a file ('that only root can read')
12:22
https://github.com/ltsp/ltsp/wiki/LTSP-and-Samba-Windows-NT-Domain
12:23
Shouldn't that be fixable with something like mkpasswd or sha1pass?#

<alkisg>
danboid: feel free to update the wiki; most authors usually create a page and then don't update it

I don't actually know the right solution here tbh
12:28
Maybe gpg can be used?

but it needs to be decrtpted using a script some how
12:29
instead of having to manually enter a password
12:31
Another thing that ca be done is to make the script a hidden file in a hidden dir, that helps a little bit

I should look at how Ubuntu do it
12:32
Thety have AD support in the installer now

alkisg, What do you use for auth on your LTSP network?

Plain sshfs or sssd/ldap
12:48
<danboid>
Yeah we need at least LDAP

Have you written a guide to setting up LTSP for sssd/ldap. What is sssd?
12:50
Samba single sign on?
12:50
I've found this but it looks quite involved

sssd is the client part that does everything, even ad. It's also what Ubuntu uses
12:51
No I didn't write any how-tos
12:52
<danboid>
Apparentky the proper way to deal with samba passwords is with smbldap-tools
12:52
<alkisg>
There's also SSO with kerberus

So do you think a lot of the steps in that previous link aren't required to do a half decent job of using AD with LTSP?

Migt be worth us editing it ti say sssd-ad or sssd-ldap would be a more professional solution

That guide says you must configure the hostname and then join the machine to a domain. I don't see how that could work for a chrootless LTSP image where the hostname varies on each boot/machine
13:45
Maybe it can be used regardless?

you can use whatever you want

this is all on top of LTSP, you can configure it any way you like

I myself use openldap client connecting to a linux LDAP server; I don't have AD, although you can connect openldap to AD LDAP just fine.

I once looked into Kerberos, it's definitely something on my wishlist but the complexity made me decide to postpone it for now

danboid: sssd also combines caching etc; and it makes installation/configuration much simpler

There are some discussions on github/ltsp about this as well. E.g. if joining ad requires saving some state, it can be stored on the server and copied to the appropriate dirs on ltsp boot
14:38
<danboid>
Link please?

For sssd? They have some documentation in the ubuntu wiki about it

The Ubuntu wiki guide for sssd-ad should work with LTSP's changing hostnames?
14:48
<alkisg>
I didn't use the ad page; there was a page just for the sssd client part
14:48
It's been a year though, maybe they changed it
