CID (Closed In Directory) is a set of bash scripts for inserting and managing Linux computers in Active Directory domains. Modifications made to the system allow Linux to behave like a Windows computer within AD.

Features

  • Join a Linux computer to AD
  • Run logon scripts
  • Automatic mounting of network drives (shared folders)
  • Automatic configuration of the printers
  • Offline logon
  • Automatic granting of privileges to users (e.g. access to the `sudo` command)
  • GUI and CLI tools for managing the Samba server (File and Print Server)
  • Apply disk quota per shared directory (such as Windows Server)

Project Samples

Main Interface in CentoOS 7 (before join the domain) Join the domain option in Ubuntu 17.04 Main interface in Fedora 28 (after join the domain and unlocked) Main interface in Debian Stretch (after join the domain and locked) Change station behavior option in Linux Mint 20 Adding share in OpenSUSE Tumbleweed

    Não estou conseguindo fazer o download no fedora, retorna o Erro: Impossível de encontrar uma correspondência: cid. Nem download consigo fazer direto, a página dá erro :( Edit: já consegui fazer o download, acredito a que página estava com instabilidade de conexão :)

    This is exactly what I have been looking for in my journey toward a windowless active directory implementation. Thanks so much.

    Sem dúvida a melhor forma de ingressar clientes Linux num domínio Windows or Samba4. Scripts de logon, mapeamento das pastas... Tudo funciona perfeitamente!

    WOW!!!!! So easy I feel like I'm cheating to join to the domain!! I'm using an Ubuntu 18.04 derivative & after I had used PPA to install I simply told it to join & put in the domain, username & password to use to join & after a restart it worked!!! How can it be simpler than that!! I have yet to explore the files like the krb5.conf, lightdm.conf, nsswitch.conf , common-session, smb.conf etc. but after trying other methods (winbind & sssd) this is the cadillac! Thanks so much!!!

    Este projeto trouxe facilidades para administradores de redes. O trabalho conjuntos do samba com Cid casaram perfeitamente. Agradeço pelo suporte e profissionalismo do senhor Eduardo Moraes.
