Samba server with domain authentication

Question

I need to configure samba server. My question is - how to configure access to this server by rdp for samba users?

Thanks!

Can you clarify your question...are you asking how to provide RDP access to a Linux system? That doesn't really have much to do with Samba. — larsks, Aug 11 '12 at 13:01
@user1581508: do you want to enable domain authentication on this server? On file shares or remote access? — petrus, Aug 11 '12 at 20:34

Why do you want to use RDP on a Linux server? It's a proprietary protocol from Microsoft.

If you want remote access on your server, use SSH.

If you want a GUI to Samba, use SWAT (webapp).

If you want remote graphical access, use X11 forwarding capabilities of ssh. But there is no GUI to Samba eitherway so...

If he wants a remote desktop like RDP he could use VNC... – gWaldo Aug 11 '12 at 20:40

xrdp supports RDP under linux; it acts as a broker for vncserver displays and automagically multiplexes the vnc displays to different user without needing to permanently allocate a display to them (as you normally do with VNC). xrdp also encrypts your traffic with RC4.

I included my tweaks to make it use blackboxwm instead of the default wm.

By default, xrdp uses local authentication. If you want to authenticate against a Windows domain (it's a little unclear what you're trying to do), you can use pam_ldap
