> i wanna know exactly the principal functions of ldap, if is posible send > me a example because im not very clear about this protocol with samba.Samba uses LDAP for the same purposes/reasons everything else does - a secure, high-performance, highly available, hierarchical data repository. There are several very good texts on LDAP. Acquire a copy of "Understanding and Deploying LDAP Directory Services" ISBN#0672323168
I don't how much you know about Samba or LDAP. Any way, Use samba to be an authenticator for Windows and Window Users, you need a Unix accounts for each machine and user. In the old day, these are store in /etc/password and some other flat files. With ldap as a backend, you store everything (Unix account and windows account) in a directory and there are tools like smdldap-tools to synchronize the creations of both types of accounts and mapping between them. LDAP also make samba-BDC possible because you can have a second LDAP server that BDC associate with. Hope this helps. -- Kang "Cristhian Nunez" <cnunez@agbcdi.com> wrote in message news:1090914745.3484.6.camel@crismandrake...
