After messing with my new Rockstor install and re-installing a few times I have decided to reach out to see if anyone knows how to help; A little bit of background: my old Rockstor install was offline for a while because the machine was in storage while I was re-arranging things. I found that 3.9 was no longer supported and there were SSL certificate issues, so I installed 4.5.8 and imported my pools into that. So after all is said and done I wanted to rejoin it to my home lab domain so that I could access shares without having to worry about user management and this is where I started having problems.
I configured the NTP and Samba service just fine, configured the network connection to point to my DNS servers (the domain controllers) and to have a static ip. Then I used the Active Directory service to join the domain. I get an error that the NAS is already a member of the domain (even though it’s not) and the service immediately disables itself. I’ve checked the domain controllers and they do not have an active directory object for the NAS anywhere in active directory. I tried ‘sudo realm join --membership-software=samba --client-software=winbind SANDOM(dot)COM -U Administrator’ on the command line and experience the same issue, claiming the domain was already joined. If I join the domain with only ‘sudo realm join SANDOM(dot)COM -U Administrator’ the join works and an object is created in Active Directory. I can then turn on the Active Directory service, however no users or groups are ever enumerated into rockstor and other communication issues seem to occur.
Leaving the realm with ‘sudo realm leave SANDOM(dot)COM -remove’ does remove the machine from active directory however samba and winbind seem to still think they are joined to the domain, as joining with with the --membership-software and --client-software arguments does not work, claiming once more that they are already domain joined. Rejoining the domain without the arguments works fine, but again no groups or users are ever enumerated.
I have a ubuntu docker server joined to the domain by hand with SSSD with no issues. I’m not familiar with OpenSUSE or that familiar with Rockstor even, but I checked the configuration files in SSSD and Samba between the two different systems and everything seems correct.
I really want to continue to use Rockstor instead of switching NAS solutions, especially since it’s hardware requirements are more reasonable than anything that uses ZFS. Does anyone know the best way to proceed to resolve this issue?
Edit: I had to replace the dot in dot com on this post because it thinks I was trying to add URLS, and as a new user I can’t add more than two; so ignore that. In the actual config files everything is normal.
