NEW FEATURES/CHANGES
|
||||
====================
|
||||
|
||||
GPO Improvements
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
A new 'samba-tool gpo export' command has been added that can export a
|
||||
set of Group Policy Objects from a domain in a generalised XML format.
|
||||
|
||||
A corresponding 'samba-tool gpo restore' command has been added to
|
||||
rebuild the Group Policy Objects from the XML after generalization.
|
||||
(The administrator needs to correct the values of XML entities between
|
||||
the backup and restore to account for the change in domain).
|
||||
|
||||
kdc prefork
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
The KDC now supports the pre-fork process model and worker processes will be
|
||||
forked for the KDC when the pre-fork process model is selected for samba.
|
||||
|
||||
prefork 'prefork children'
|
||||
--------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The default value for this smdb.conf parameter has been increased from 1 to
|
||||
4.
|
||||
|
||||
netlogon prefork
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
DCERPC now supports pre-forked NETLOGON processes. The netlogon processes are
|
||||
pre-forked when the prefork process model is selected for samba.
|
||||
|
||||
Offline domain backups
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The 'samba-tool domain backup' command has been extended with a new 'offline'
|
||||
option. This safely creates a backup of the local DC's database directly from
|
||||
disk. The main benefits of an offline backup are it's quicker, it stores more
|
||||
database details (for forensic purposes), and the samba process does not have
|
||||
to be running when the backup is made. Refer to the samba-tool help for more
|
||||
details on using this command.
|
||||
|
||||
Group membership statistics
|
||||
---------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
A new 'samba-tool group stats' command has been added. This provides summary
|
||||
information about how the users are spread across groups in your domain.
|
||||
The 'samba-tool group list --verbose' command has also been updated to include
|
||||
the number of users in each group.
|
||||
|
||||
prefork process restart
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
The pre-fork process model now restarts failed processes. The delay between
|
||||
restart attempts is controlled by the "prefork backoff increment" (default = 10)
|
||||
and "prefork maximum backoff" (default = 120) smbd.conf parameters. A linear
|
||||
back off strategy is used with "prefork backoff increment" added to the
|
||||
delay between restart attempts up until it reaches "prefork maximum backoff".
|
||||
|
||||
Using the default sequence the restart delays (in seconds) are:
|
||||
0, 10, 20, ..., 120, 120, ...
|
||||
|
||||
standard process model
|
||||
----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
When using the standard process model samba forks a new process to handle ldap
|
||||
and netlogon connections. Samba now honours the 'max smbd processes' smb.conf
|
||||
parameter. The default value of 0, indicates there is no limit. The limit
|
||||
is applied individually to netlogon and ldap. When the process limit is
|
||||
exceeded Samba drops new connections immediately.
|
||||
|
||||
python3 support
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
The version of python which is now the default for samba is python3.
|
||||
'configure' & 'make' will execute using python3. It is possible to still
|
||||
specify an additional python version with '--extra-python'
|
||||
e.g. '--extra-python=/usr/bin/python2'. It should be noted that support for
|
||||
this option will be deprecated in a future release.
|
||||
|
||||
What if I need to build with python2? To build with python2 you *must* set
|
||||
the 'PYTHON' environent variable to override the python3 default for both
|
||||
'configure' and 'make' steps.
|
||||
|
||||
'PYTHON=python2 ./configure.developer'
|
||||
&
|
||||
'PYTHON=python2 make'
|
||||
|
||||
Note: Support for python2 (with the exception of a build configured with
|
||||
'PYTHON=python2 ./configure --disable-python' and built with
|
||||
'PYTHON=python2 make' will be deprecated in the next release.
|
||||
|
||||
JSON logging
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
Authentication messages now contain the Windows Event Id "eventId" and logon
|
||||
type "logonType". The supported event codes and logon types are:
|
||||
Event codes:
|
||||
4624 Successful logon

||||
|
||||
The version number for PasswordChange messages is now 1.1, changed from 1.0

|
||||
A GroupChange message is generated when a new user is created to log that the
|
||||
user has been added to their primary group.
|
||||
|
||||
The leading "JSON <message type>:" and source file prefix of the JSON formatted
|
||||
log entries has been removed to make the parsing of the JSON log messages
|
||||
easier. JSON log entries now start with 2 spaces followed by an opening brace
|
||||
i.e. " {"

||||

|

REMOVED FEATURES
|
||||
================
|
||||
|
||||
MIT Kerberos build of the AD DC
|
||||
-------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
While not removed, the MIT Kerberos build of the Samba AD DC is still
|
||||
considered experimental. Because Samba will not issue security
|
||||
patches for this configuration, such builds now require the explicit
|
||||
configure option: --with-experimental-mit-ad-dc
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
