Domain Authentication Problem

[ProgramIt]

I have a windows server 2003 domain controller that I want a RHEL 5.3 server to authenticate to. I am using winbind for the authentication. I currently have the Linux machine joined to the domain and can even log into the machine using domain credentials through ssh. However if I try to login to the domain from the console (with a GUI), it says "incorrect username or password". I have tried both DOMAIN\USER and USER with no success with either. What do I need to change to allow users to log in through the GUI?

Thanks,
John

You can do this using PAM.

Check the file /etc/pam.d/sshd

This file will probably have a rule that will allow the user to login if they pass the winbind credential check.

Add the same rule to /etc/pam.d/gdm if you're logging into gnome.


The rule will look like:

auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_winbind.so

Solved my own problem. After I had made all of my changes I restarted both winbind and smb. However I guess I missed something because after a full system reboot everything worked fine. Thanks for the reply SoX2000
