A large number of issues have been found and fixed thanks to this effort. +samba-tool improvements add contacts as member to groups +-------------------------------------------------------- + +Previously "samba-tool group addmemers" can just add users, groups and +computers as members to groups. But also contacts can be members of +groups. Samba 4.12 adds the functionality to add contacts to +groups. Since contacts have no sAMAccountName, it's possible that +there are more than one contact with the same name in different +organizational units. Therefore it's necessary to have an option to +handle group members by their DN. + +To get the DN of an object there is now the --full-dn option available +for all necessary commands. + +The MS Windows UI allows to search for specific types of group members +when searching for new members for a group. This feature is included +here with the new samba-tool group addmembers --object-type=OBJECTYPE +option. The different types are selected accordingly to the Windows +UI. The default samba-toole behaviour shouldn't be changed. + +Allow filtering by OU or subtree in samba-tool +---------------------------------------------- + +A new --base-dn and --member-base-dn option is added to relevant +samba-tool user, group and ou management commands to allow operation +on just one part of the AD tree, such as a single OU. + VFS === -- 2.17.1
