Sun OpenSSO Enterprise 8.0 Administration Guide

Installing a Samba Client for Windows NT Authentication

To activate the Windows NT authentication module, Samba Client 3.x must be downloaded and installed. Samba is a file and print server for blending Windows and UNIX machines without requiring a separate Windows NT/2003 Server. See To Install the Samba Client for more information.

Tip –

Red Hat Linux ships with a Samba client located in the /usr/bin directory.

ProcedureTo Install the Samba Client

  1. Download the Samba software from http://www.samba.org.

  2. Install the software to the OpenSSO-Deploy-base/OpenSSO-deploy-uri/bin directory.

  3. (Optional) When running OpenSSO Enterprise on AIX, follow this sub procedure.

    See the Samba README for the reasons this startup script might be necessary for your deployment.

    1. Create a smbclient wrapper script.

      For example:

      #!/bin/sh

unset LIBPATH
/usr/bin/smbclient $@

    2. Copy the wrapper script to the OpenSSO-Deploy-base/OpenSSO-deploy-uri//bin directory.

  4. (Optional) Set multiple interfaces by configuration of the smb.conf file which is passed to the smbclient.
