Using a Windows AD authentication question.

Post by brandonwinstead » 2017/11/16 22:50:52

Hello I'm new to CentOS and linux. I have setup a CentOS7 server with NFS. I have added it to a windows domain, and a windows active directory. Logging into the machine using AD credentials works fine. Someone within my department said I would have issues because when logging in with windows AD they are assigned random account numbers in Linux. When they save files they might not be able to access it again, or if they access from another Linux box they won't be the owner of the file. Is there any truth to this? When you login using Windows AD and save a file how is that file saved? Does it use you ad account information or your Linux account number.
