Configuring FreeIPA

TrueNAS provides the option to configure a FreeIPA directory service client using the LDAP configuration screen under Credentials > Directory Services.

Does LDAP work with SMB?

LDAP authentication for SMB shares is disabled unless you configured and populated the LDAP directory with Samba attributes. The most popular script for performing this task is smbldap-tools. TrueNAS needs to be able to validate the full certificate chain (no self-signed certificates). TrueNAS does not support non-CA certificates.

You can have either Active Directory or LDAP configured on TrueNAS, but not both.

Before You Begin

You must do the following things listed in this section. See the procedure below for detailed steps.
