Quest's Samba Identity Mapper (vasidmap) provides Samba servers with accurate identity information for Unix-enabled Active Directory users to ensure proper file system access controls for Samba servers that are joined to an Active Directory domain. Vasidmap plugs into Samba's idmap interface, resolving queries for user security information by using Quest Authentication Services' (QAS) Active Directory connections and caches. vasidmap should be used with all installations of Samba where QAS is installed — especially for servers using Authentication Services' Unix personality management feature.

Quick installation instructions

  1. Ensure that you have Samba installed; we recommend using your operating system's Samba package. If your operating system's Samba package is older than version 3.0.28, install a Quest Samba build.
  2. Ensure that the host is joined to Active Directory (vastool join)
  3. Install quest-vasidmap
  4. Run the vas-samba-config script:
    # /opt/quest/sbin/vas-samba-config
    and answer the questions asked.

Please see the installation guide for detailed instructions and troubleshooting.
