samba - Jun 2005 - ldapsam, Sun JES Directory Server, Solaris 9

Hello,

Help!!  I'm struggling with ldapsam.

I'm trying to configure Samba to use our LDAP directory (Sun's directory
server) for the storage of Samba user accounts.  It already stores our 
unix system accounts.  I have successfully imported the schema file into 
our directory server and have compiled samba with the 
"--prefix=/opt/btifs/samba --with-ldapsam" options.  I did not notice 
any errors during compile.

When I go to start Samba (smbd -D), the daemon dies quickly and this 
error is written to the log:

  smbd version 3.0.14a started.

  No builtin nor plugin backend for ldapsam_compat found
[2005/06/14 09:09:02, 1] passdb/pdb_interface.c:make_pdb_context_list(825)
  Loading ldapsam_compat failed!

Here is my smb.conf file:

[global]
        workgroup = BTIWG1
        netbios name = FS1V
        encrypt passwords = Yes
        allow trusted domains = No
        log level = 1
        guest account = nobody
        map to guest = Bad User
#       passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://ce.btinet.net
#       ldap admin dn = cn=Directory Manager
#       ldap suffix = ou=People,o=tildebob.com,o=usergroups


[btifs]
        path = /opt/btifs
        read only = No
        browseable = No
        hosts allow =  . . .
        hosts deny = ALL
        guest ok = no

Do I need to install some client libraries for this to work?  Or did the 
compilation not work as expected? 

Any hints or suggestions would be a great help!

Thanks,

Why did you comment out all the stuff you need?

Even if you hadn't, your ldap admin dn = cn=Directory Manager wouldn't
work, it's not qualified with the rest of the suffix.

Also, the ldap suffix is probably wrong. In fact, your whole DIT is
probably incorrectly implemented :(

You'd also be missing the machine, group and user suffixes, unless
they're under the ldap suffix.
