Active Directory is a proprietary implementation of Directory Services by Microsoft, and is used to provide a means to share information about network resources and users. In addition to providing a centralized source of such information, Active Directory also acts as a centralized authentication security authority for the network. Active directory combines capabilities traditionally found in separate, specialized directory systems to simplify integration, management, and security of network resources. The SAMBA package may be configured to use Active Directory services from a Windows Domain Controller.

The LDAP server application provides Directory Services functionality to Windows computers in a manner very similar to Microsoft Active Directory services. Such services include managing the identities and relationships of computers, users, and groups of computers or users that participate in the network, and providing a consistent means to describe, locate, and manage these resources. The freely available implementation of LDAP available for your Ubuntu system is called <emphasis role="italic">OpenLDAP</emphasis>. The server daemons responsible for handling OpenLDAP directory requests and the propagation of directory data from one LDAP server to another on Ubuntu, are <application>slapd</application> and <application>slurpd</application>. OpenLDAP may be used in conjunction with SAMBA to provide File, Print, and Directory services in much the same way a Windows Domain Controller does so long as SAMBA is compiled with LDAP support.

The <application>smbpasswd</application> application will then prompt you to enter a password for the user:

New SMB password:

Enter the password you wish to set for the user, and the <application>smbpasswd</application> application will ask you to confirm the password:

Retype new SMB password:

Some of the additional directives governing global group policy include specification of the global nature of all shared resources. For example, placing certain directives under the <emphasis role="italic">[global]</emphasis> heading of the <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename> file will affect all shared resources unless an overriding directive is placed under a particular shared resource heading. You specify all shares are browseable by all clients on the network by placing a <emphasis role="italic">browseable</emphasis> directive, which takes a Boolean argument, under the <emphasis role="italic">[global]</emphasis> heading in the <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename>. That is, if you edit the file and add the line:

79.

under the <emphasis role="italic">[global]</emphasis> section of <filename>/etc/samba/smb.conf</filename>, then all shares provided by your Ubuntu system via SAMBA will be browseable by all authorized clients, unless a specific share contains a <emphasis role="italic">browseable = false</emphasis> directive, which will override the global directive.

Other examples which work in a similar manner, are the <emphasis role="italic">public</emphasis> and <emphasis role="italic">writeable</emphasis> directives. The <emphasis role="italic">public</emphasis> directive accepts a Boolean value and decides whether a particular shared resource is visible by all clients, authorized or not. The <emphasis role="italic">writeable</emphasis> directive also takes a Boolean value and defines whether a particular shared resource is writable by any and all network clients.

The <application>apt-get</application> command is a powerful command-line tool used to work with Ubuntu's <emphasis>Advanced Packaging Tool</emphasis> (APT) performing such functions as installation of new software packages, upgrade of existing software packages, updating of the package list index, and even upgrading the entire Ubuntu system.
