Samba/AD service users (lemmy.sdf.org)

So I am looking into using service accounts to allow services to access network resources. My own use case is going to be Jellyfin but if this works I might try to use this for other services.

I have not set anything up as of yet but I am going to create a domain controller and then join Linux servers to it. On the Linux servers I am going to run podman under the service account. I am still working on how to store the password but my plan is to login to the service account via Pam and then to use pam mount to mount a network resource.

I'll create another post once I set this up.

About Samba

Samba is the standard Windows interoperability suite of programs for Linux and Unix.

Samba is Free Software licensed under the GNU General Public License, the Samba project is a member of the Software Freedom Conservancy.

Since 1992, Samba has provided secure, stable and fast file and print services for all clients using the SMB/CIFS protocol, such as all versions of DOS and Windows, OS/2, Linux and many others.

Samba is an important component to seamlessly integrate Linux/Unix Servers and Desktops into Active Directory environments. It can function both as a domain controller or as a regular domain member.
