Hi I am trying to change the ACL for a Active Directory group using Perl on Linux. The problem is that there are no Perl bindings for Samba and I couldn't find any UNIX compatible module that can me do this. This is the same as setting "Managed By" and then clicking "(X) Manager can update membership list" in the AD admin tools. # ldapmodify -x -h Server -W -D "Domain\User" -f update.ldif --- update.ldif dn: CN=Group,OU=Location,DC=Domain,DC=Local changetype: modify replace: managedBy managedBy: CN=User,CN=Users,DC=Domain,DC=Local ---- # ldapsearch -LLL -x -h Server -p 3268 -W -b "DC=Domain,DC=Local" -D "Domain\User" "(&(CN=Group)(ntSecurityDescriptor=*))" ntSecurityDescriptor dn: CN=Group,OU=Location,DC=Domain,DC=Local nTSecurityDescriptor:: EaKFAKoAMEDAAAAAAAEALQAAAUAOAAAAAUAOAAAAAUAOAAAAAUAOADA AEALQQEaKFDdARooU2AwAA+ANnwaV6lr/mFAKoAMEniAQEDAAAAAAEAAAAAB1o4ACAAAAADAAAAvz ... Does anyone have a good advice as how to easiest solve this. I would like to avoid writing a module with Samba bindings or a module that actually interprets the binary info. Regards Michael
