Andrew, this is about the source4 winbind. How do you want to deal with it?
Comment 3 Andy Igoshin 2013-12-15 10:55:17 UTC
some explanations:


i have samba DC with rfc2307 attributes (uidNumber, gidNumber, loginShell) and
unixHomeDirectory. i use idmap_ldb:use rfc2307 = yes

home directories: /home/<realm>/<user>
roaming profiles: /home/<realm>/<user>/.winprofile
unix user name:   <user>@<realm>

<realm> is lowercased.


i try to configure it as (test with win7 client)
----------------------------------------------
[Home]
    path = /home/dom.domain.ru
    read only = no

[Profiles]
    path = /home/dom.domain.ru/%U/.winprofile
    read only = no
----------------------------------------------


home directory is ok.

profiles are almost. they work although in log i see strange messages - %U
can be substituted as win7 computer name with _ at end.

in documentation in section where there are examples of using %U it is supposed that %U
has a stable value. 
i'm concerned only about description of %U in VARIABLE SUBSTITUTIONS section.
i get the result of %U as documented (the value is unstable).


in searching of more stable solution i came to:

[Profiles]
    path = %H/.winprofile
    read only = no

but %H is /home/DOM/<user>

so we came to template homedir = /home/dom.domain.ru/%U

(tested via wbinfo -i <user> . i have not run the real test with win7 client
since it is weekend now)

[it seems winbind nss info = rfc2307 can't be used in such construction when
this all is on DC]

Garming, could you please look into this issue?
Comment 5 Karolin Seeger 2014-11-27 10:55:39 UTC
Is this a showstopper for 4.2.0?
Comment 6 Stefan Metzmacher 2014-11-29 10:25:16 UTC
This is not a 4.2.0 blocker, it already be fixed by using the source3 winbindd
implementation by default.
Comment 7 Garming Sam 2015-08-28 02:08:56 UTC
I assume this should be closed?
