similar to: Use LDAP for passwords ONLY

Hi, Back to a while ago, someone mentioned about taking pGINA code to samba, so samba can work against LDAP authentication, but instead of using the sambaNTPassword and sambaLMPassword, this way samba can use the userPassword field directly. This sounds very promissing because we can then just use one set of passwords. It may be not usable in a domain enviroment where machine accounts and other

Hi all, I'm under the gun to rid ourselves of the nt4 PDC which we currently use. options are A/D, samba, pgina. I really dig pgina, but dont think I can pass citrix credentials properly :( So I'm left with samba vs A/D. A/D is well,, ummmmm A/D, so tyring to avoid it. Currently have used Samba file servers for years. Have played with Samba PDC with2.2 Now, going to try

I was wondering if anyone could advise me on this. I've got two Samba servers, each using passdb.tdb for authentication. All works well, but I've now been asked to let users change their own passwords (a requirement of data secuity). What's the best way of arranging this, preferably updating both servers at the same time? thanks

We use pGINA (www.pgina.org) to authenticate windows user logins via ldaps:// against the university directory. Don't know if that will fit your model, but it works for us. ---------------------------------------------- Tony Hoover, Network Administrator KSU - Salina, College of Technology and Aviation (785) 826-2660 "Don't Blend in..."

Hi all, I am using OpenLDAP and over have ~800 users in its DB. I would like to simply use Samba as a file server, no PDC. I have been able to export my LDAP DB to a file containing hashes of users passwords. Is there a way I can import this file to smbpasswd or other file that Samba understands so that my 800 some odd users won't have to re register there passwords? I would really love

Does anyone have any experience using PGina with Samba for a simple "single sign on" approach using Windows clients? If so, I would love to know how it is working for you. I tried posting here a bit ago for a way to do this ("single sign on") with samba only, but I didn't get any responses and therefore looked into other opportunities. Thanks. Paul

I have an old setup that serves my purposes, but which I'll move over to a more modern Samba4 setup at some point. I know it's old, deprecated etc. In any case, at the moment I'm having a problem with two Windows 10 machines connecting to the domain I set up. The network is a mix of XP, Windows 7 and Windows 10 machines. Four (4) windows 10 machines connect to the domain after the

Hi there, Has anyone tried to configure a NAS server to authenticate users using a Samba PDC, or even a Samba4 DC (AD-compatible) or an IPA server? I'm evaluating replacing some Linux file server for a NAS product, but all them make me nervous when the vendor talks about "Active Directory support" and nothing else. In theory, many NASes are Linux boxes running samba, so there

Hello A lot of windows application need access to an USB port. For Wine a library (or a patch) exists to manage that but it is not include in the "official" release. If we want to work with this USB port, we have to compile a personal version of Wine, but this is not really obvious for every body. Why this feature is not include in the release ? Do you plan an official release with

Hello Everyone, I have a question regarding Samba, Kerberos, and LDAP. Specifically, I would like to have users authenticate through Samba using the existing information stored in Kerberos and LDAP. According to the documents I have read, this is similar to the mechanism used by Microsoft's Active Directory, which Samba supports. However, I am completely confused on this issue: can MIT

I suggest reading this: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4034314/smbv1-is-not-installed-by-default-in-windows Imo, the longer you wait with samba AD the harder it gets to get things running. You could better spend you time on settting up and migrating to AD the keep putting time in a dying product. But thats my optinion. Greetz, Louis > -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- >

Hello, I have a small (medium?) sized network of about 30 XP machines. About 2/3 of these machines are running Home Ed. while the other 1/3 are running Professional Ed. I currently have two samba shares, and I'm using 'user' security. I want to implement single sign on, some way, somehow. I've considered: NIS and LDAP, but I can't get the NIS pGina plugin to

Hi all, First, sorry for posting this mail in a Samba-list, I first posted it to ldap@umich.edu which should be a general LDAP discussion list and also to OpenLDAP mailinglist. So far I didn't got a single reply in any of those lists but that's probably because this issue is much more AD-related than plain LDAP. And we know that beside MS the Samba developers know most about AD :-) So

I've setup samba to use LDAP passdb backend and it works fine. LDAP has sambaNTPassword and more samba entities. But I wonder if I can make samba work with userPassword only. I think somebody is doing it and I look at their config but couldn't find anything special. Thanks. [global] workgroup = NT netbios name = SAMBASERVER server string = NT Master passdb

I've been noticing that my group of Polycom IP 501 phones seems to randomly reset themselves nearly every night (I guess it usually happens at night, since I've never seen it happen while I've been at work during the day).. When I say "reset", I mean, the hands free volume and ring volume are set to the default and the call logs (received calls, missed calls, placed calls)

Hello - I am trying to set up a ssh chroot account on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 server. I have my jail set up and have copied over a selection of commands and their libraries. I have also created a / dev and some devices. As part of that, I had to create a /dev/pts directory to handle the terminals. However, when I try to connect as the chrooted user, I get the following error:
