I’ve fixed the link. I still works for me in 6.4 and presumably 6.5. Never had an issue with updates.

Still a hard coded hack.

Hello David,
Thanks for the info. We are looking to integrate CAS with our SugarCRM 6.5 installation but noticed the CASAuthenticate file you reference above is missing. Was wondering if maybe you had it somewhere else on the interwebs.

Thanks for any help.

Comment on Mail Merge in Libreoffice by Andy

Thanks — exactly what I was looking for. I note that LibreOffice on a fresh installation of Ubuntu 12.04 will crash without error when selecting “Edit > Exchange Database”. This is due to some missing packages, and can be solved with the below line, which installs the entire LibreOffice package, rather than the minimal version that comes pre-installed on Ubuntu.

sudo apt-get libreoffice

They aren’t tested with Samba and you would probably need to run Samba 4 which isn’t stable. It would be nice to have an easy way to join a Samba PDC. My experience with pam_ldap, winbind is that it’s highly complicated and frustrating. I ended up using just pam_ldap but getting every out of the box feature in likewise/centrify like cached credentials and groups is a pain. It’s funny how much easier it is to get Linux to join a Windows domain than any Linux equivalent.

I want to play around more with Zentyal which seems to have a desktop client that can join a Zentyal Samba/OpenLDAP server.

On some networks, mDNS is messed up. Edit /etc/nsswitch.conf and remove the mdns service specifications and result reactions like so:

hosts: files mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return] dns mdns4

becomes

hosts: files dns

This’ll help if stopping avahi aleviates name resolving issues.

> They don’t work on wifi!

If this were true I would be unable to log onto my wifi-only networked laptop using CentrifyDC. Which I do.

1) Centrify & Likewise both cache credentials.

2) You can configure the Network Manager to connect to a network *before* logon occurs. As long as, when the user attempts their connection, they have a viable network connection and are ad-joined, the logon event will work. (And once they’ve logged on once, the local caching will work thereafter normally.)
