Adding a new user has started failing on the UNRAID GUI - it did use to work fine. No errors are reported on in the GUI but it just returns to the Add User screen but no new user has been added.

 

The system log reports the following:

 

Dec 14 14:52:36 UNRAID01 winbindd[15731]: [2021/12/14 14:52:36.532516,  0] ../../source3/winbindd/idmap_hash/idmap_hash.c:115(idmap_hash_initialize)

Dec 14 14:52:36 UNRAID01 chpasswd[24299]: pam_unix(chpasswd:chauthtok): user "vcuser" does not exist in /etc/passwd

 

I have tried several different user names and all fail. The /etc/passwd file does not contain the users I am adding.

 

What should I try next?

 

Edit: version is 6.9.2

Do you have any existing users (other than root)? Do they work as expected?

Further investigation shows that UNRAID does "know" of this user 

root@UNRAID01:~# id vcuser
uid=2018509937(vcuser) gid=2018509313(domain users) groups=2018509313(domain users)

 

So it it getting this used from the Windows AD - as the user has been created in the domain?

 

Has something changed here - or am I missing something? I believed that to get Windows User access to UNRAID that I needed to create the AD user first and then add the same named user to UNRAID?

Thanks for the response.

Yes, all existing users are working fine. Just cannot add a new user.

I have no experience with AD on Unraid
