LDAP authentication and unencrypted passwords (was 2.2 release...)
Am I correct in thinking that, if Samba is set "use encrypted passwords no," it uses system authentication, so one could indirectly use LDAP that way? How does the PAM Samba module figure into this? (I posted a related inquiry previously, but, if there was a reply to the list, I missed it.) -----Original Message----- On Wed, 11 Apr 2001 12:02:49 Oren Levy wrote:> > For the uninitiated, can you explain what this would > add/enable? What would it do that makes it so important?The ability to store full user account information (all the fields from User Manager for Domains) in an LDAP directory. Multiple Samba servers could the utilize this tree without having to do current things such as replicated smbpaswd to each server.
