If you get this message it’s your Windows firewall. Either shut down your firewall or make exceptions.

I did the “sudo aptitude install likewise-open-gui” command which appeared to work fine, but under “Applications -> Internet -> ” there is no likewise choice even after restart. Any help?

Install Like wise open

Likewise Open is a free, open source application that joins Linux, Unix, and Mac machines to Microsoft Active Directory and securely authenticates users with their domain credentials.

I followed the instruction and the pc has joined the domain (I’m sure of it!).
But when I try to login with the DOMAIN\user credential, I have to wait and the pc seems to be locked. I have to restart manually. Then I log with the normal user: I find the new created home directory for DOMAIN\user but the login is not possible
Is it normal to wait for a long time in the login?
Thanks in advance. Francis

Great program. Worked like a charm for me. I am in the same situation as James though.

I am at a school trying to recycle some old windows boxes into linux machines. Likewise Open helped with authenticating the users with Active Directory, but like James, I need the students Window’s Share folder to be mounted and mapped upon login.

Any suggestions or help is appreciated!

Excellent guide but I have a few follow up questions.

Does anyone have a clear cut guide on how to take this to the next stage as in mapping users home folders to \\exampleserver\group\home\user

All the guides I have found dotted around the internet relate to using seperate kerberos authentication and winbind and blah blah blah. None of them point at configuring it using Likewise Open.

Also, another question. I have read that adding the line

winbind use default domain = yes

to the /etc/samba.lwiauthd.conf file allows domain users to login without having to prefix their userid with the domain name (joeblogs instead domain\joeblogs).

However, when I entered this line into the file, I try to login to ubuntu with just my user id and I receive the error message; cannot create user xxxxxxxx. This is strange as it then proceeds to log me in to the correct account.

If anyone could assist on any of these problems it would be very much appreciated.

It might be better to put some strawberry lip gloss on the join button prior to licking--it just tastes better

how to save after added the line though sudo visudo?

By the way, I found that when I switch user or add device it will ask for authentication but my domain passowrd is very long then ubuntu/likewise can’t support….and causes AD account lockedout.

regards.
