adcli not joining Active Directory

[Oscar Franzen]

The current cloud image for Ubuntu Bionic seems to install an adcli version which is unable to join microsoft active directory. Somebody posted here [0].

This is the version that does not work (not sure what the string ubuntu1 means):

root@qwerty:~# dpkg -l adcli
||/ Name Version Architecture Description
+++-===========================-==================-==================-============================================================
ii adcli 0.8.2-1ubuntu1 amd64 Tool for performing actions on an Active Directory domain

We confirmed that if we downgrade to version 0.8.2-1 of adcli, the problem does not occur. We have also confirmed that the problem does not occur with adcli version 0.9.0-1.

apt install adcli=0.8.2-1

Hi,

Thanks for taking the time to file the bug. I believe this is a new issue that is tracked under bug 1906627 [0]. There was also a discussion about this on the ubuntu-server mailing list [1].

I am going to mark this bug as a duplicate of the bug above so you can watch the status there.

Thanks!
