[Samba] How to manage users with encrypted passwords
Hello, I set up Samba4 to replace our Samba3. I am having problems to populate samba4 and automatically manage the lifecycle of users. All of our users are already in an LDAP directory and I would like to create a connector for "synchronised" LDAP users to Samba4. I thought to develop a script that would use Python libraries of Samba-tool. I have a problem to manage passwords. I can not have access to user passwords in clear text. But I can have it in any encrypted form. Are there a solution to push a Hash password to Samba4? If yes, what kind of Hash? In addition, where are stored the passwords in Samba4? Only in the LDAP? In kerberos? Elsewhere? In what form? I did not find any info on it. Thank you for your help. Regards, Benjamin -- Benjamin Rocton Universit? Pierre Mend?s France
