Confirming and troubleshooting Active Directory integration (optional)​

There are several steps to take to confirm and troubleshoot Active Directory integration. First, confirm that AD Domain controller is discoverable via DNS:

[tux@dhcp-200 ~]$ nslookup -q=srv _kerberos._tcp.fusion.tuxera
Server: 10.13.0.2
Address: 10.13.0.2#53
_kerberos._tcp.fusion.tuxera service = 0 100 88
fusiondc.fusion.tuxera.

Check that you are able to obtain tickets for CIFS with keytab file.

[tux@dhcp-200 ~]$ sudo kinit -V cifs/[email protected] -t /etc/krb5.keytab
keytab specified, forcing -k
Using default cache: /tmp/krb5cc_0
Using principal: cifs/[email protected]
Using keytab: /etc/krb5.keytab
Authenticated to Kerberos v5

Check that key version number (KVNO) for CIFS service matches between KDC and local keytab file:

[tux@dhcp-200 ~]$ sudo kvno cifs/[email protected]
cifs/[email protected]: kvno = 2
[tux@dhcp-200 ~]$ sudo klist -k
Keytab name: FILE:/etc/krb5.keytab
KVNO Principal

Confirm that you are able to obtain tickets for user accounts (domain name need to be upper case).

[tux@dhcp-200 ~]$ kinit -V [email protected]

After Fusion File Share is configured and running successfully, domain authentication can be further validated: Successful LDAP connection to the domain controller will be found in the Fusion logs at /var/lib/tsmb/tsmb.log (if the tsmb.conf option is set to log_destination = file, log_params = path=/var/lib/tsmb/tsmb.log and log_level = 4).

Also, the ticket cache at /var/lib/tsmb/tsmb_ccache should show this as well. Ticket timestamp validity can be checked against local system time.
