Windows Domain Authentication Issue
Dec 20th 2012, 07:59

I have configured my OpenSUSE 12.2 (KDE 4.9.4) to authenticate against a Windows domain.

Why is the username prefixed with DOMAIN\?
Quote:

DOMAIN\username@machine:~> pwd
/home/DOMAIN/username

DOMAIN\username@machine:~> whoami
DOMAIN\username

DOMAIN\username@machine:~> id
uid=10000(DOMAIN\username) gid=10000(DOMAIN\domain users) groups=10000(DOMAIN\domain users)
This creates issues with YP/NIS.
I order for me to log on to various network machines i need to perform su, then su-username.
Quote:

[username@machine ~]$ su

[username@machine ~]$ su - username

[username@machine ~]$ pwd
/users/username

[username@machine ~]$ whoami
username

[username@machine ~]$ id
uid=620(username) gid=100(users) groups=100(users)
Is there anything I could do to remedy this issue? Only solution I see is to reinstall OpenSUSE and authenticate with my YP/NIS user instead of my DOMAIN user.
