# ucs-domjoin

Simple script for making arbitrary Linux systems part of a UCS domain.  A lot of

the code was taken from the manufacturer's description at

http://wiki.univention.de/index.php?title=Ubuntu.

## Usage

* Prerequisite: Univention Corporate Server installation

  (http://www.univention.de/ |

  http://wiki.univention.de/index.php?title=UCS_Quickstart)

* Configure DNS on your client properly, e.g. point to your UCS Master as DNS

  server.  This command must print the domain name of your UCS master:

		host -t SRV _domaincontroller_master._tcp

* Download the ucs-domjoin script

		wget -O ucs-domjoin https://raw.github.com/jceb/ucs-domjoin/master/ucs-domjoin

		chmod a+x ucs-domjoin

* Run the script with root privileges

		sudo ./ucs-domjoin

## Features

* Automatic detection of the UCS Master / Domain Controller (requires a proper

  DNS configuration of the client)

* Dependency check of requirements

* Automatic creation of a LDAP computer object containing hostname, MAC

  addresses of all interfaces and operating system release details

* Automatic configuration of Debian-based systems

* Automatic Kerberos integration

* Automatic lightdm configuration

## Known Issues

* Non-Debian-based systems can't be configured completely by this script.

  PAM and nsswitch.conf need manual configuration that can be quite tricky and

  requires lots of skill.

* SSH password for root needs to be entered multiple times

* No support for pam_ccreds and nss_ldap (sssd is used instead)

* No plug-in system for supporting arbitrary Linux distributions

* No error handling for LDAP errors, e.g. computer objects already exists

* IP addresses, DNS name and DHCP entries are not automatically created during

  domain join

* Only ntpdate is supported for setting the time

* Only wget is supported for downloading the UCS CA
