AD settings required in smb.conf

Post by alexplatform »

I'm not sure when this began, but the NAS started to refuse to join my AD until I added

realm = mydomainname.com

to the [global] section of smb.conf. I'm not sure if this is a function of my particular AD, but it seems like it might be good to add this to the AD configuration screen.

Another question: The password entered in the AD section of the GUI is stored via cleartext in config.xml- this is poor practice; is there a way to prevent this behavior?

Its not necessary, when you give the full dc name: server1.intranet.local etc
