+
+
+ =============================
+ Release Notes for Samba 4.8.0
+ March 13, 2018
+ =============================
+
+
+This is the first stable release of the Samba 4.8 release series.
+Please read the release notes carefully before upgrading.
UPGRADING
=========
+New GUID Index mode in sam.ldb for the AD DC
+--------------------------------------------
+
+Users who upgrade a Samba AD DC in-place will experience a short delay
+in the first startup of Samba while the sam.ldb is re-indexed.
+
+Unlike in previous releases a transparent downgrade is not possible.
+If you wish to downgrade such a DB to a Samba 4.7 or earlier version,
+please run the source4/scripting/bin/sambaundoguididx script first.
+
+Domain member setups require winbindd
+-------------------------------------
+
+Setups with "security = domain" or "security = ads" require a
+running 'winbindd' now. The fallback that smbd directly contacts
+domain controllers is gone.
+
+smbclient reparse point symlink parameters reversed
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+See the more detailed description below.
+
+Changed trusted domains listing with wbinfo -m --verbose
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+See the more detailed description below.
NEW FEATURES/CHANGES
====================
-Samba AD with MIT Kerberos
---------------------------
+New GUID Index mode in sam.ldb for the AD DC
+--------------------------------------------
+
+The new layout used for sam.ldb is GUID, rather than DN oriented.
+This provides Samba's Active Directory Domain Controller with a faster
+database, particularly at larger scale.
-After four years of development, Samba finally supports compiling and
-running Samba AD with MIT Kerberos. You can enable it with:
+The underlying DB is still TDB, simply the choice of key has changed.
- ./configure --with-system-mitkrb5
+The new mode is not optional, so no configuration is required. Older
+Samba versions cannot read the new database (see the upgrade
+note above).
-Samba requires version 1.15.1 of MIT Kerberos to build with AD DC support.
-The krb5-devel and krb5-server packages are required.
-The feature set is not on par with with the Heimdal build but the most important
-things, like forest and external trusts, are working. Samba uses the KDC binary
-provided by MIT Kerberos.
+KDC GPO application
+-------------------
-Missing features, compared to Heimdal, are:
- * PKINIT support
- * S4U2SELF/S4U2PROXY support
- * RODC support (not fully working with Heimdal either)
+Adds Group Policy support for the Samba kdc. Applies password policies
+(minimum/maximum password age, minimum password length, and password
+complexity) and kerberos policies (user/service ticket lifetime and
+renew lifetime).
-The Samba AD process will take care of starting the MIT KDC and it will load a
-KDB (Kerberos Database) driver to access the Samba AD database. When
-provisioning an AD DC using 'samba-tool' it will take care of creating a correct
-kdc.conf file for the MIT KDC. Note that 'samba-tool' will overwrite the system
-kdc.conf by default. It is possible to use a different location during
-provision. You should consult the 'samba-tool' help and smb.conf manpage for
-details.
+Adds the samba_gpoupdate script for applying and unapplying
+policy. Can be applied automatically by setting
+ 'apply group policies = yes'.
-Authentication and Authorization audit support
-----------------------------------------------
+Time Machine Support with vfs_fruit
+-----------------------------------
+
+Samba can be configured as a Time Machine target for Apple Mac devices
+through the vfs_fruit module. When enabling a share for Time Machine
+support the relevant Avahi records to support discovery will be published
+for installations that have been built against the Avahi client library.
-Detailed authentication and authorization audit information is now
-logged to Samba's debug logs under the "auth_audit" debug class,
-including in particular the client IP address triggering the audit
-line. Additionally, if Samba is compiled against the jansson JSON
-library, a JSON representation is logged under the "auth_json_audit"
-debug class.
+Shares can be designated as a Time Machine share with the following setting:
-Audit support is comprehensive for all authentication and
-authorisation of user accounts in the Samba Active Directory Domain
-Controller, as well as the implicit authentication in password
-changes. In the file server and classic/NT4 domain controller, NTLM
-authentication, SMB and RPC authorization is covered, however password
-changes are not at this stage, and this support is not currently
-backed by a testsuite.
+ 'fruit:time machine = yes'
+Support for lower casing the MDNS Name
+--------------------------------------
-Query record for open file or directory
----------------------------------------
+Allows the server name that is advertised through MDNS to be set to the
+hostname rather than the Samba NETBIOS name. This allows an administrator
+to make Samba registered MDNS records match the case of the hostname
+rather than being in all capitals.
-The record attached to an open file or directory in Samba can be
-queried through the 'net tdb locking' command. In clustered Samba this
-can be useful to determine the file or directory triggering
-corresponding "hot" record warnings in ctdb.
+This can be set with the following settings:
+ 'mdns name = mdns'
-Parameter changes
+Encrypted secrets
-----------------
-The "strict sync" global parameter has been changed from
-a default of "no" to "yes". This means smbd will by default
-obey client requests to synchronize unwritten data in operating
-system buffers safely onto disk. This is a safer default setting
-for modern SMB1/2/3 clients.
+Attributes deemed to be sensitive are now encrypted on disk. The sensitive
+values are currently:
+ pekList
+ msDS-ExecuteScriptPassword
+ currentValue
+ dBCSPwd
+ initialAuthIncoming
+ initialAuthOutgoing
+ lmPwdHistory
+ ntPwdHistory
+ priorValue
+ supplementalCredentials
+ trustAuthIncoming
+ trustAuthOutgoing
+ unicodePwd
+ clearTextPassword
+
+This encryption is enabled by default on a new provision or join, it
+can be disabled at provision or join time with the new option
+'--plaintext-secrets'.
+
+However, an in-place upgrade will not encrypt the database.
+
+Once encrypted, it is not possible to do an in-place downgrade (eg to
+4.7) of the database. To obtain an unencrypted copy of the database a
+new DC join should be performed, specifying the '--plaintext-secrets'
+option.
+
+The key file "encrypted_secrets.key" is created in the same directory
+as the database and should NEVER be disclosed. It is included by the
+samba_backup script.
+
+Active Directory replication visualisation
+------------------------------------------
+
+To work out what is happening in a replication graph, it is sometimes
+helpful to use visualisations. We introduce a samba-tool subcommand to
+write Graphviz dot output and generate text-based heatmaps of the
+distance in hops between DCs.
+
+There are two subcommands, two graphical modes, and (roughly) two modes of
+operation with respect to the location of authority.
+
+`samba-tool visualize ntdsconn` looks at NTDS Connections.
+`samba-tool visualize reps` looks at repsTo and repsFrom objects.
+
+In '--distance' mode (default), the distances between DCs are shown in
+a matrix in the terminal. With '--color=yes', this is depicted as a
+heatmap. With '--utf8' it is a lttle prettier.
+
+In '--dot' mode, Graphviz dot output is generated. When viewed using
+dot or xdot, this shows the network as a graph with DCs as vertices
+and connections edges. Certain types of degenerate edges are shown in
+different colours or line-styles.
+
+smbclient reparse point symlink parameters reversed
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+A bug in smbclient caused the 'symlink' command to reverse the
+meaning of the new name and link target parameters when creating a
+reparse point symlink against a Windows server. As this is a
+little used feature the ordering of these parameters has been
+reversed to match the parameter ordering of the UNIX extensions
+'symlink' command. The usage message for this command has also
+been improved to remove confusion.
+
+Winbind changes
+---------------
+
+The dependency to global list of trusted domains within
+the winbindd processes has been reduced a lot.
+
+The construction of that global list is not reliable and often
+incomplete in complex trust setups. In most situations the list is not needed
+any more for winbindd to operate correctly. E.g. for plain file serving via SMB
+using a simple idmap setup with autorid, tdb or ad. However some more complex
+setups require the list, e.g. if you specify idmap backends for specific
+domains. Some pam_winbind setups may also require the global list.
+
+If you have a setup that doesn't require the global list, you should set
+"winbind scan trusted domains = no".
+
+Improved support for trusted domains (as AD DC)
+-----------------------------------------------
+
+The support for trusted domains/forests has improved a lot.
+
+External domain trusts, as well a transitive forest trusts,
+are supported in both directions (inbound and outbound)
+for Kerberos and NTLM authentication now.
+
+The LSA LookupNames and LookupSids implementations
+support resolving names and sids from trusts domains/forest
+now. This is important in order to allow Samba based
+domain members to make use of the trust.
+
+However there are currently still a few limitations:
+
+- It's not possible to add users/groups of a trusted domain
+ into domain groups. So group memberships are not expanded
+ on trust boundaries.
+ See https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13300
+- Both sides of the trust need to fully trust each other!
+- No SID filtering rules are applied at all!
+- This means DCs of domain A can grant domain admin rights
+ in domain B.
+- Selective (CROSS_ORIGANIZATION) authentication is
+ not supported. It's possible to create such a trust,
+ but the KDC and winbindd ignore them.
+
+Changed trusted domains listing with wbinfo -m --verbose
+--------------------------------------------------------
+
+The trust properties printed by wbinfo -m --verbose have been changed to
+correctly reflect the view of the system where wbinfo is executed.
+
+The trust type field in particular can show additional values that correctly
+reflect the type of the trust: "Local" for the local SAM and BUILTIN,
+"Workstation" for a workstation trust to the primary domain, "RWDC" for the SAM
+on a AD DC, "RODC" for the SAM on a read-only DC, "PDC" for the SAM on a
+NT4-style DC, "Forest" for a AD forest trust and "External" for quarantined,
+external or NT4-style trusts.
+
+Indirect trusts are shown as "Routed" including the routing domain.
+
+Example, on a AD DC (SDOM1):
+
+Domain Name DNS Domain Trust Type Transitive In Out
+BUILTIN Local
+SDOM1 sdom1.site RWDC
+WDOM3 wdom3.site Forest Yes No Yes
+WDOM2 wdom2.site Forest Yes Yes Yes
+SUBDOM31 subdom31.wdom3.site Routed (via WDOM3)
+SUBDOM21 subdom21.wdom2.site Routed (via WDOM2)
+
+Same setup, on a member of WDOM2:
+
+Domain Name DNS Domain Trust Type Transitive In Out
+BUILTIN Local
+TITAN Local
+WDOM2 wdom2.site Workstation Yes No Yes
+WDOM1 wdom1.site Routed (via WDOM2)
+WDOM3 wdom3.site Routed (via WDOM2)
+SUBDOM21 subdom21.wdom2.site Routed (via WDOM2)
+SDOM1 sdom1.site Routed (via WDOM2)
+SUBDOM11 subdom11.wdom1.site Routed (via WDOM2)
+
+The list of trusts may be incomplete and additional domains may appear as
+"Routed" if a user of an unknown domain is successfully authenticated.
+
+VirusFilter VFS module
+----------------------
+
+This new module integrates with Sophos, F-Secure and ClamAV anti-virus
+software to provide scanning and filtering of files on a Samba share.
+
+
+Local authorization plugin for MIT Kerberos
+-------------------------------------------
+
+This plugin controls the relationship between Kerberos principals and AD
+accounts through winbind. The module receives the Kerberos principal and the
+local account name as inputs and can then check if they match. This can resolve
+issues with canonicalized names returned by Kerberos within AD. If the user
+tries to log in as 'alice', but the samAccountName is set to ALICE (uppercase),
+Kerberos would return ALICE as the username. Kerberos would not be able to map
+'alice' to 'ALICE' in this case and auth would fail. With this plugin account
+names can be correctly mapped. This only applies to GSSAPI authentication,
+not for the geting the initial ticket granting ticket.
+
+REMOVED FEATURES
+================
+
+'net serverid' commands removed
+-------------------------------
+
+The two commands 'net serverid list' and 'net serverid wipe' have been
+removed, because the file serverid.tdb is not used anymore.
+
+'net serverid list' can be replaced by listing all files in the
+subdirectory "msg.lock" of Samba's "lock directory". The unique id
+listed by 'net serverid list' is stored in every process' lockfile in
+"msg.lock".
+
+'net serverid wipe' is not necessary anymore. It was meant primarily
+for clustered environments, where the serverid.tdb file was not
+properly cleaned up after single node crashes. Nowadays smbd and
+winbind take care of cleaning up the msg.lock and msg.sock directories
+automatically.
+
+NT4-style replication based net commands removed
+------------------------------------------------
+
+The following commands and sub-commands have been removed from the
+"net" utility:
+
+net rpc samdump
+net rpc vampire ldif
+
+Also, replicating from a real NT4 domain with "net rpc vampire" and
+"net rpc vampire keytab" has been removed.
+
+The NT4-based commands were accidentally broken in 2013, and nobody
+noticed the breakage. So instead of fixing them including tests (which
+would have meant writing a server for the protocols, which we don't
+have) we decided to remove them.
+
+For the same reason, the "samsync", "samdeltas" and "database_redo"
+commands have been removed from rpcclient.
+
+"net rpc vampire keytab" from Active Directory domains continues to be
+supported.
+
+vfs_aio_linux module removed
+----------------------------
+
+The current Linux kernel aio does not match what Samba would
+do. Shipping code that uses it leads people to false
+assumptions. Samba implements async I/O based on threads by default,
+there is no special module required to see benefits of read and write
+request being sent do the disk in parallel.

-This allows a program loading a module to pass in a long-lived
-talloc context (which must be guaranteed to be alive for the
-lifetime of the module). This allows modules to avoid use of
-the talloc_autofree_context() (which is inherently thread-unsafe)
-and still be valgrind-clean on exit. Modules that don't need to
-free long-lived data on exist should use the NULL talloc context.
