[Bug 996293] Re: Cannot login using active directory users ( Unknown id: $username )

[Justin Jon L. Jereza]

I've identified the problem. The lack of a default idmap range (idmap
config * : range = XXXXX - YYYYY) is causing the error. I am not sure if
this can be classified as a bug since a range was specified for the
domain itself and samba generates a default idmap config * : backend =
tdb if it's not specified. In any case, specifying idmap config * :
range fixes it.

Title:
  Cannot login using active directory users ( Unknown id: $username )

Status in “samba” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I'm currently having this issue on Ubuntu 12.04. I've verified that
  I've done everything listed in
  https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto. The
  smb.conf configuration I'm using is the same as the one I used in
  10.04 (which works) with the exception that idmap config is used in
  place of idmap backend/uid/gid.

  - wbinfo -u / -g lists all the active directory users / groups just fine.
  - getent passwd / group fails at listing active directory users / groups.
  - wbinfo -a $username authenticates the user properly.
  - wbinfo -i $username fails to display the user info.

  I've attached my nsswitch, pam, and samba configuration as well as
  test.log which contains a log of the commands I've used to try to
  troubleshoot this issue.

  I haven't seen anything unusual in the winbind logs.
