Using Active Directory on 2012 R2 to authenticate AFP shares on nas4free

After setting up AD authentication on nas4free 9.2 i noticed my AFP share for timemachine stopped working. Turns out that AFP supports AD AUTH, but its not possible to setup that in the webui.

But there is a workaround. Login on nas4free with ssh and run:

cd /etc/uams

rm uams_clrtxt.so uams_dhx.so uams_dhx2.so

ln -s uams_dhx2_pam.so uams_dhx2.so

ln -s uams_dhx_pam.so uams_dhx.so

ln -s uams_pam.so uams_clrtxt.so

This was tested with windows 2012 R2 and nas4free version 9.2.0.1
