[Bug 1307778] Re: getent group on trusty returns only local groups

[Fabrice Bongartz]

For all those stuck with this issue. There's a real alternative to winbind, sssd. The following guide should get you started:
https://fedorahosted.org/sssd/wiki/Configuring_sssd_with_ad_server
Using the "realm" command is especially easy.

Once a getent passwd administrator at domain.name returns something useful, this can easily be integrated with samba, without using winbind. The smb.conf should then include
   security = ads
   realm = GE.LAN
   kerberos method = secrets and keytab
in its [global] section.
