<para>By specifying the name of a domain controller with this option,
|
|
and using <command moreinfo="none">security = [ads|domain]</command>
|
|
it is possible to get Samba
|
|
to do all its username/password validation using a specific remote server.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Ideally, this option
|
|
<emphasis>should not</emphasis> be used, as the default '*' indicates to Samba
|
|
to determine the best DC to contact dynamically, just as all other hosts in an
|
|
AD domain do. This allows the domain to be maintained (addition
|
|
and removal of domain controllers) without modification to
|
|
the smb.conf file. The cryptographic protection on the authenticated RPC calls
|
|
used to verify passwords ensures that this default is safe.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para><emphasis>It is strongly recommended that you use the
|
|
default of '*'</emphasis>, however if in your particular
|
|
environment you have reason to specify a particular DC list, then
|
|
the list of machines in this option must be a list of names or IP
|
|
addresses of Domain controllers for the Domain. If you use the
|
|
default of '*', or list several hosts in the <parameter
|
|
moreinfo="none">password server</parameter> option then <command
|
|
moreinfo="none">smbd </command> will try each in turn till it
|
|
finds one that responds. This is useful in case your primary
|
|
server goes down.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If the list of servers contains both names/IP's and the '*'
|
|
character, the list is treated as a list of preferred
|
|
domain controllers, but an auto lookup of all remaining DC's
|
|
will be added to the list as well. Samba will not attempt to optimize
|
|
this list by locating the closest DC.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If parameter is a name, it is looked up using the
|
|
parameter <smbconfoption name="name resolve order"/> and so may resolved
|
|
by any method and order described in that parameter.</para>
