I've been trying to get an idmap backend working in an ldap database (I know, not really a database). I think I got most it worked out, but I'm having a problem getting samba to bind to the ldap server. My smb.conf says (just the important stuff, with my domain taken out because I'm paranoid): idmap backend = ldap:ldap://ldapserver.subdomain.domain.com:389 ldap suffix = dc=mnelabs,dc=mne,dc=psu,dc=edu ldap idmap suffix = ou=Idmap ldap admin dn = cn=Manager,dc=subdomain,dc=domain,dc=com My slapd.conf says: suffix "dc=subdomain,dc=domain,dc=com" rootdn "cn=Manager,dc=subdomain,dc=domain,dc=com" rootpw long-encrypted-password starting with {SSHA} I ran slappasswd and entered my password, and it gave me the rootpw. I ran smbpasswd -w and used the same password as the slappasswd, and it said it set the stored password in secrets.tdb. Now, when I restart winbind, the log says: [2004/06/16 10:51:52, 0] lib/smbldap.c:smbldap_connect_system(798) failed to bind to server with dncn=Manager,dc=subdomain,dc=domain,dc=com Error: Invalid credentials I'm not sure what the problem is, or how to fix it... I'm brand new to ldap, but have been working with Samba for a while.
