sshd_config + AllowGroups + AD group

I am doing some tests with the AllowGroups settings in sshd_config.

We have a security group which contain all our administrative accounts that should have access to the vMA. I only want to allow this group.

I now have done some tests with the following settings:

AllowGroups example\vma_admins

and

AllowGroups example
vma_admins

This does not work as expected, after setting this settings i can't login.

Is this a shortcoming of likewise open?

likewise works well with ad groups, first verify that likewise is operational and joined to domain and logging in from an ad account - then if that works try implementing restrictions, verify syntax carefully

Everything is configured correctly etc.

I am further investigating the sshd_config.

I just tested the following:

EXAMPLE\vma_admins

It looks like this works oke. It looks like the domain name must be in capital letters.
