Thank you for your response. From your response I understand, even if my AD Domain is running on MS (Microsoft), I can join the RHEL to AD domain using 'winbind daemon', which I did.
As I said.... the documentation is correct. Marco is correct that winbind is needed, but you *also* need Samba. FreeRADIUS talks to Winbind. Winbind connects to Samba. Samba joins the AD domain. This is all documented. Follow the documentation and it will work.
After joining the RHEL 8 Server to domain, 'winbind' is still not working, it's giving the below error.
[root@localhost.domain.com]# wbinfo -a FreeRADIUSdev2 Enter FreeRADIUSdev2's password: plaintext password authentication failed Could not authenticate user FreeRADIUSdev2 with plaintext password Enter FreeRADIUSdev2's password: could not obtain winbind interface details: WBC_ERR_WINBIND_NOT_AVAILABLE could not obtain winbind separator!
This is an issue with winbind and/or Samba. Ask the Samba people how their software works. Alan DEKok.
