Hello!
I've a Samba server (3.0.22) acting as the PDC of the domain. The network is
made of one
Debian server and ~12 Windows 2000/XP client machines. I use OpenLDAP as backend
with TLS
security and works perfect.
Now our office needs to connect to other offices in physically different
locations. It
would be great to use the same LDAP backend across all the offices using
it's replication
capabilities, but I have some questions:
* I've readed that Samba cannot act as PDC for more than one domain
?it's true? The Samba
PDC is installed in a server with the kernel linux vserver patch
(http://linux-vserver.org/Welcome_to_Linux-VServer.org) so I can have several
virtual
servers. Is this the right way? Perhaps one possible setup would be to have each
office
it's own Samba server and make domain trust relationships between them, but
only with one
OpenLDAP server shared across all the domains: it's mandatory that one user
must be able
to login in any office with only one credentials
* ?Can OpenLDAP act as a backend of more than one domain? We have the setup from
the
Samba+LDAP authentication from the samba.idealx.com site, but in the
documentation they
only speak about one domain.
Any help? Or pointers to some books or web-sites.
