Hello,

Please does someone know if Opensuse 13.2 has support for Samba 4 AD DC? Also does it allow for samba provisioning?

Thanks a lot.

It seems to me, that it’s the same as in 13.1. It’s usable only as NT4 domain controller and AD parts are missing.

You want to use the version of Samba in the following repositories:

http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/samba:/STABLE/openSUSE_13.2 Network_Samba_STABLE_13.2
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/network:/samba:/TESTING/openSUSE_13.2 Network_Samba_TESTING_13.2
http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/jniltinho/openSUSE_13.2 home_jniltinho_13.2

The big reason this isn’t in the standard openSUSE is that it uses Heimdal kerberos, whereas other packages in openSUSE use MIT kerberos. The claim is that combining these could lead to instability. That said, I’m running an AD DC this way with success.
