samba - Mar 2008 - Samba with ldap backend password change trigger

Hello,

For samba acting as PDC with ldap backend (openldap) is it possible to 
hook some how password change event?
So that if user in windows changes domain user password, it will update 
ldap account as usual but is it possible to trigger for some shell 
script to receive username and *plain* new password password?

This could help for automation to update password in other systems.

I am using smbldap-tools for samba ldap backend management

Thanks in advance,
Madars Vitolins

I hope I am understanding your question.  You can configure the smb.conf
file so that when a user changes his Windows (Samba)  password, it changes
the other ldap password.  I don't know if it will change the password in the
/etc/passwd file.

This works when you are using OpenLDAP for authentication with a number of
LDAP aware applications such as Samba, qmail-ldap and Openfire.

You can put the following command in your smb.conf file:

ldap passwd sync = yes
