I have a Windows 2012 AD domain working well for Windows and Apple Mac computers. Apple Mac can simply login using the domain account.
I’ve installed a UCS server to test ubuntu domain joins. But I’ve been unable to log in to the ubuntu desktop with any domain account. The error is that the password is incorrect but it’s 100% correct as we can use it to login to Windows computers for example.
Furthermore, when the login is failed, ubuntu takes you back to the account selector and my domain account is showing there. So the login attempt is matching the domain account but is failing for authentication.
The steps to set it up is simple:
- install ucs VM server
- join existing AD domain
Then from the ubuntu desktop I add the PPA and install the univention tool for joining the ubuntu system to the UCS domain.
In the “devices” I see the ubuntu system there but not in AD. It is only visible in UCS “devices”.
I was expecting this ubuntu computer to be domain-joined in AD and visible in UCS.
I dont want to run a separate UCS domain. I do want to extend the functionality of the existing domain so that I can manage Ubuntu desktops in terms of user account authentication at a minimum. Is this possible?
