ADSBrowser is a Python frontend for Samba 4

ADSBrowser provides a graphical user interface (GUI) for managing Active Directory (AD) objects and services. It is used to manage AD domains, trees, and forests, as well as individual objects like users, groups, computers, and organizational units (OUs).

With ADSBrowser, administrators can perform a wide range of tasks, including creating, modifying, and deleting objects; and diagnosing and resolving issues. The tool also provides a search function that allows administrators to quickly find specific objects in the AD database.

This tool aims to be a clone of dsa.msc

Dependencies

• Samba4 (in particular, the Samba 4 Python bindings)
• pylons
• pam
• cjson
• jsonpickle

Installation

On debian:

apt-get install python-pam python-cjson python-jsonpickle python-pylons

adding the following to the [global] section of the smb.conf file:

server services = +smb -s3fs
dcerpc endpoint servers = +winreg +srvsvc

Standalone

git clone https://github.com/rnapoles/ADSBrowser.git
cd ADSBrowser/

Add the python binding for samba4

Example:

export PYTHONPATH=$PYTHONPATH:/usr/local/samba/lib/python2.6/site-packages/
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/local/samba/bin/:/usr/local/samba/sbin/

Use paster:

paster serve --reload development.ini &

This will initiate the Server at http://localhost:5001. You must authenticate with root for provision or with a valid Samba account for manage AD. Authentication will be performed using RPC, SAMR or PAM.

Open the browser and put:

http://server-ip:5001/
