ZeroTier + Active Directory Authentication

@scottalanmiller you can not so respectfully piss off.
I can tell you that your opinion of how ZT should work is your opinion and nothing more than that. The developer told you to post your information to that thread.
My goal has nothing to do with making everything work for AD. That thread has nothing to do with my desire to make AD be the only piece that works.

@Dashrender You have a "how to" instruction set?
I think @dafyre created a script for it. I am pretty sure you can only install the bridge on a connector, which has to be a Linux box.
Doh! you're right it was @dafyre
It wasn't a script... Esentially what I did was build a Linux router.
I have been unable to get the Official Bridged mode to work for some reason or another... It sounds like that is more involved than what @JaredBusch wants to do though.

I'd agree - bridge mode is like a huge pain. Putting all devices into a /16 network? WOW - no thanks. Of course I realize you could just as easily do with with a /23 or /22.
I'm curious though.. what happens when two NICs have IPs in the same range? This would be the case when a laptop is in the office.

Why would that happen with laptops?

He means if they use the same IP range for both the LAN and the ZT network... what would happen if a laptop got 192.168.16.16 on the LAN, as well as 192.168.16.16 on the ZT network.

Oh, you can't do that. The devices would freak out. It's as simple as... you can't.
But... when would this happen? Why would you choose a ZT network that overlaps with the LAN?

But... when would this happen? Why would you choose a ZT network that overlaps with the LAN?Couldn't you create two separate reservations--one for the LAN and one for ZT?

I think that may have been something that someone read a little too much into what @adam-ierymenko was saying about bridging (either in this thread, or another).

Right, but then how does the computer know which IP range to actually talk from?

DHCP would not work, you'd have a mess.

I was thinking statically assigned IP's

uh.. no - that shouldn't happen.
So looking at the ZT docs on creating a bridge: The LAN will use 192.168.0.x and ZT will use 192.168.1.x. DHCP on the LAN will only provide 192.168.0.x addresses so you'll never have a conflict of IPs (wasn't part of my concern)
But since this is all in the same /22 you now have two adapters on the same network. -

Bottom line, you cannot overlap the same network. It conceptually doesn't even make sense. The machine would have no idea how to differentiate between the two because they are literally the same network.
Static, dynamic, reservations.. doesn't matter. You can't layer the same network on itself.

because that's how bridging works. Bridging assumes NO routes.. everything is on the same subnet.

https://www.zerotier.com/community/topic/5/bridging-ethernet-to-zerotier-virtual-networks-on-linux
Configure the DHCP Server in the Office LAN to give leases in the range 10.0.0.100-10.0.0.200.
Configure the ZeroTier portal to manage IP addresses in the range range 10.0.1.100-10.0.1.200. Note how the address ranges are in the same 10.0.0.0/16 subnet, but have a unique pool of IP addresses.The instructions have you create a giant subnet /16 the LAN will be on x.x.0.x and the ZT will be on x.x.1.x No routers involved for communication here.
-
So if I'm reading this correctly, using bridging means that no ZT devices can ever be on the local network, except the one server providing the bridging, which it's doing through a disconnected NIC port that's acting like a switch port.
The typical ZT clients would need to never be on that same physical network.

There is no reason they cannot be on the same network.
I can have my laptop plugged in to the LAN and WiFi at the same time. they get two different addresses. This is no different with ZT. it is a separate adapter.Basic IP functions here, nothing complicated.

I totally missed that bit before... I think I am going to try it out again.

Good point - I've done that before too. Though It's my understanding that the default in Windows - when the LAN is connected, the WLAN is ignored.
