I've configured samba 3.0.4 with LDAP as the backend. I've configured
samba to use the ldap directory, which works fine, my problem is when I
add two two servers into the smb.conf file it sees the first(master)
ldap server, but if I bring that server down it takes forever for it to
switch to the slave ldap server. If I place just a single ldap server,
master or slave, into the smb.conf it works fine. I read somewhere
about a patch? Is this the case? These are the values that I've entered
into the smb.conf
passdb backend = ldapsam:ldaps://ldap.masterserver.com - this works
passdb backend = ldapsam:ldaps://ldap.slaveserver.com - this works
passdb backend = ldapsam:ldaps://ldap.masterserver.com
ldaps://ldap.slaveserver.com - this does not work
passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldaps://ldap.masterserver.com
ldaps://ldap.slaveserver.com" - this does not work
passdb backend = ldapsam:ldaps://ldap.masterserver.com
ldapsam:ldaps://ldap.slaveserver.com - this does not work
If anyone has gotten this to work with 3.0.4, I would love a peek at
your smb.conf. Thanks for any help!
