Introduction
Some, though not all, of the tips here are for setting up users and groups.
The tool of choice is smbldap.
Usage: How to add a new user
Users
it may be required now to discable the firewall when creating new accouts. Make sure you turn it back on: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/turn-on-turn-off-firewall-in-linux/
/etc/init.d/iptables save /etc/init.d/iptables stop
- To create a new user(s)
Root has a script in bin/creasu.sh, so as root:
sh bin/creasu.sh <user> <user1> <user2>
if this line fails go to the admin page which talk about ldap. Manually doing the command from the script worked for me when this failed
# (only if needed - perl errors) service restart slapd
NU=test06
smbldap-groupadd -a $NU
smbldap-useradd -g $NU -a $NU
smbldap-passwd $NU
bash_files=/etc/skel
basepath=/storage/home/users
path=$basepath/$NU
echo $path
cd $basepath
cp -r $bash_files/.{m,n,b,g}* $NU
chown -R $NU:$NU $path
smbldap-groupadd -a $NU
chown -R $NU:$NU $path
chmod 0701 $NU
chcon 'unconfined_u:object_r:user_home_dir_t:s0' $path
will create groups, accounts, home folder and all relevant files into the new home folder. Then you need to setup passwords with (password promt will appear):
smbldap-passwd <user>
for each of the users.
Then setup an ssh key for logging into the nodes by doing the following:
as root user, login a user via
su - <newuserid>
and execute
ssh-keygen
and just accept all the suggestions, keep accepting then as they are ... .ssh/id_rsa and .ssh/id_rsa.pub, then get created.
then
cp .ssh/id_rsa.pub .ssh/authorized_keys
and
chmod 600 .ssh/authorized_keys
then ssh node1 should log in to node1 without password (no need to test other nodes).
Then tell the user to change their password by doing:
passwd
Groups
- To create a new group (we dont have groups YET!)
smbldap-groupadd -a <newgrpname>
- To add users to a certain group (note that this seems to take some time to propagate, as well as only working on fresh logins)
smbldap-groupmod -m <list,of,users> <targetgroup>
as root turn firewall back on
/etc/init.d/iptables start
change a password
when a user forgets their password and asks for a new one: as root
smbldap-passwd <user>
