Time for action – connecting FreeRADIUS to Active Directory
The following sections will demonstrate how to connect FreeRADIUS to Microsoft Active Directory.
Installing Samba
Ensure Samba and Winbind are installed on your Linux server. The following table can be used as a guideline for installing Samba and Winbind on each of the three distributions discussed in this book:
|
Distribution |
Command to install Samba server |
|---|---|
|
CentOS |
yum install samba
|
|
SUSE |
zypper install samba samba-winbind
|
|
Ubuntu |
sudo apt-get install samba winbind
|
After Samba and Winbind are installed we need to configure them.
