Hi all,
In the pdc-howto that came with my samba 2-2.5 (on RedHat 8.0) it is stated
clearly that encrypted passwords are a requirement for a PDC.
However I am trying to set up SAMBA as a PDC for a bunch of windows boxes that
will authenticate on the stadrin pam module (www.stadrin.com) using Vasco otp
tokens.
For the pam module, it is a requirement that the passwords are sent in clear
text.
Futhermore, I have SAMBA set up as a PDC, I successfully joined the domain and
I can login with my domain account. However, logon script doesn't run, and
if
I try to open a share, I get the username popup asking me to authenticate.
Filling in the exact same stuff as the account I used to logon gets me
through.
1. Is is possible to do pam authentication with clear passwords om a PDC
2. Could it be that the continious password prompting is caused by the
clear/encrypted story.
Thanks for all your feedback.
Joost
PS: I did the clear passwords registry hack, it didn't change anything.
