Etere compatibility now extends also alongside with Linux systems , giving the possibility to use active directory alternatives and sql server on linux. the topics of this chapter will be:
- Samba AD integration
- Reporting Service
We will cover these guides based from our internal tests for Ubuntu distributions, we suggest an LTS version for more stability. you can download the .ISO on their main site
https://ubuntu.com/download/desktop
Do not download third party apps or drivers during the installation when requested to avoid possible conflicts and don't integrate with Active Directory during the installation.
XRDP
in the majority of cases a remote connection is needed , our suggestion is to install XRDP alongside a lightweight GUI such as XFCE. From bash console:
1
sudo apt update
sudo apt install xfce4 xfce4-goodies xrdp -y
2
echo "xfce4-session" > ~/.xsession
3
sudo adduser xrdp ssl-cert
4
sudo systemctl restart xrdp
if you want to adjust connection performances you can edit the file xrdp.ini
from bash console:
sudo nano /etc/xrdp/xrdp.ini
edit these fields to match your needs, for example:
tcp_send_buffer_bytes=4194304
crypt_level=none
max_bpp=16
and always restart the service
now you can use the same user and password for the login under xRDP
