Bug Description

Installing freeipa-server-trust-ad (and running ipa-adtrust-install) will degrade the ipa server and brake the enter system, including dns server (bind9). The reason is that ipactl tries to start samba by explicitly calling systemctl start 'smb.service'.
Calling systemctl start 'smb.service' however results in:

Failed to start smb.service: Unit smb.service failed to load: No such file or directory.

debug output of "ipactl -d start":

This also affects 15.10! I updated to 16.04 to see if it was fixed already.

right, I don't know if ipa-adtrust-install needs an actual AD instance to test against, or samba.. I don't have either so this part is untested

it's fairly trivial to fix that smb.service part though, but there might be other bugs still

You don't need anything really but a virtual machine. I would actually hope that you give it a try. I have been trying to set up a free ipa server based on Ubuntu 15.10/16.04 and it has been a uphill battle all the way. So match so that I am thinking about giving up and rolling it in a docker container or just installing a CentOS server. I'm not saying this as a threat but just to get my level of frustration across.

Steps:
1.) Install freeipa server:
sudo apt-get install freeipa-server

2.) configure ipa:
sudo ipa-server-install

2.a)
Opt to install DNS server

3.)
Dns will not work because AppArmor blocks bind9 from reading the freeipa domain. ← easy fix.
Also you will hit this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/certmonger/+bug/1509484

4.)
Install freeipa-server-trust-ad
and run ipa-adtrust-install

I'm not sure what options I set exactly, but it shouldn't matter to match. Is there a log file created by the installer somewhere?

the logs are in /var/log/ipa* but I know how to fix this

I'm the one packaging ipa for debian/ubuntu and currently trying to get 4.3 to fully replicate, which none of the earlier versions were able to even start..

default samba installation doesn't install /etc/samba/smb.conf, so ipa-adtrust-install fails right away because of that.. but after adding that file and the fix for ipaplatform/services.py it installs fine

sorry, it's actually server or client uninstall that deletes it.. which is a bug of course, should restore the original file there

Note that trust to AD is not available in FreeIPA on Debian/Ubuntu platforms. To make that working, Samba in Debian/Ubuntu needs to be compiled against MIT Kerberos as ipasam module in FreeIPA only supports MIT Kerberos and Python bindings to Samba are expected to be loaded into MIT Kerberos-enabled FreeIPA Python framework in Apache.

Samba is not compiled against MIT Kerberos in Debain/Ubuntu because it is not possible to do so for Samba AD build. We are working upstream to make Samba AD ported to MIT Kerberos but this work is still ongoing.

So freeipa-server-trust-ad is not expected to actually work? Fine. All I really need is to authenticate samba file shares with my local freeipa server. Is that at least possible?
