Not able to add opensuse 12.2 to Windows domain

Hello,

I am trying to add 1 opensuse 12.2 system to Windows domain but it keeps giving authentication error when I try to login using domain user name.
I tried switching to several options i.e. enabling ‘Kerberos client’ . Also tried to enable ‘ldap client’.
Did several reboots after each operation, but didn’t help.
I downloaded SSSD package which was required for ldap client.

Any suggestions how can I proceed ahead?

While reading ‘Chapter 5’ >> openSUSE 12.2: Chapter 5. Active Directory Support
I read a statement at bottom which says only ‘domain administrator’ account is supported as of now for opensuse to be part of windows domain.
I don’t have domain admin credentials but I have other user name which has control to add any Windows machine to respective domain.
Just wonder as it state’s that ‘domain admin’ credentials required does it really means I should use only and only ‘domain admin’ user?

One detail: if your domain is named something.local, you will not succeed.

No I am using standard domain name i.e. xyz/<user_name> also tried xyz.net/<user_name>

And xyz.net resolves in the DNS? Both client and server machines. I
would not set a Windows domain as .net unless it was real.

When I use nslookup for IP address of local ( primary ) DNS following is the output I get >>

**
Host:~ # nslookup 10.100.10.5
Server: 10.100.10.5
Address: 10.100.10.5#53

5.10.100.10.in-addr.arpa name = pxxxx01w8.xyz.net.

Host:~ #

Host:~ # nslookup 10.100.10.197 Resolving name of my local system and it resolves ]
Server: 10.100.10.5
Address: 10.100.10.5#53

197.10.100.10.in-addr.arpa name = Host.xyz.net

**Another interesting thing it takes DC from my another site.
When I try to search for DC in my local campus, it fails to detect any how ever I have 2 DNS servers & 1 DC in local campus.
I remember I successfully was able to add opensuse 12.1 in same domain some time back without any issues in same set up.

Hello sco1984,
I am no expert but can you try using kinit <name> . Then see the kerberos ticket using klist. If this happens to be working than at least half part is done.

Please use code tags. Advanced editor, ‘#’ button.

I would try


~> host machine.something.net
