src Posted August 19, 2012 Share Posted August 19, 2012 I'm not a linux/samba expert, but I do know some of the basics, so I'm a bit at sea here. I'm very familiar with AD. I just upgrade my Unraid box to Pro so I could start using AD to manage my shares. I have joined the box to the domain, but can't find ANY decent information on how to set or manage permissions First off, I can't get any of my existing shares to work under AD. None of the pre-existing shares are accessible to anyone. What combination of permissions/config changes are needed to make them available. Second, when I create a new share it is set up with a default set of permissions, and I can't find any way to change them. I can access/read/write the new share, but so can everyone else. I want to be able to grant access to specific users and groups, allow certain users to have read/write access, etc. None of this seems to be documented in any way, and I haven't found the "magic" forum post/blog entry that has a solution. So, how can I make my existing shares available through AD, and how do you add/remove/change access and permissions on shares? Quote Link to comment
src Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 I'm making some headway, but so far I'm finding that AD support is still pretty useless on Unraid. Using a combination of chmod, chown and setfacls, I've been able to make my existing data readable to AD users. However, I can't find a way to grant rights on a granular basis. If they aren't the owner or in the AD group assigned to the share/file, I can't control access on a user by user basis. This is incredibly inconvenient. Second is that write access is still hosed. Whenever I try to create a new file from a windows box, it shows up in Windows Explorer as a directory. From the unraid shell, it is a normal file, but windows sees any new files as directories. And after I create the file, I can't write to it any more, even when I am the owner. So, the current challenges are no user-by-user access rights management, and no new file creation from windows. Would still love to hear from anyone who has AD working properly on UnRaid. Quote Link to comment

src Posted August 26, 2012 Author Share Posted August 26, 2012 Well, it's really starting to tick me off since AD support is the _only_ reason I upgraded from Plus to Pro. Quote Link to comment
