Hi all, I currently have a Debian linux system authenticating ssh logins through pam to our openldap server which then authenticates against our kdc. The openldap userPassword attributes are of the form userPassword: {KERBEROS}userid@MY.REALM so authentication through openldap gets passed via SASL through to our kdc. What I'm trying to do is get samba to authenticate the same way. When a user attempts to access a share the userid and pwd entered should authenticate with openldap which then authenticates with their kerberos principal in the kdc. Is this possible? I've been able to get samba to authenticate against ldap when the passwords are stored in ldap (lmPassword, ntpassword) but I want the authentication to pass through to our kerberos server. Thanks for any advice. Keith Lally lally@bnl.gov
