New to TrueNAS and was trying to connect TrueNAS to one of the directory services. Just wondering are there any good options?
Goal: I want a user from an Directory Service to access its home folder via SMB using the username and password in the Directory Service.
Problem: I was initially thinking to use FreeIPA to do this but I read that LDAP is no longer supported in SMB authentication, thus requiring FreeIPA to install ad-trust for it to behave like an AD (this solution is from AI and I have not verified if it works or not).
Question: Does anyone had success using integrating FreeIPA through the “Active Directory” way in TrueNAS? I have seen other people doing this and it seems a very painful journey to do so, thus would you recommend hosting an actual Active Directory that runs on Windows Server?
The reason I was researching FreeIPA instead of directly going to Windows AD is that running a windows server for this case seems a bit much for me (but yes, it can be done).
Any feedback are welcomed! Thanks in advance.
