search for: edirectory

So i have gone through the archives and see a lot of people asking if samba can use edirectory as a source for user passwords. No i'm down the same road myself =D my company is using edirectory 8.7.3 on Solaris and redhat enterprise linux 3. the samba server only needs to talk to the redhat edirectory server though. From the turtorials that i have read a lot pf people hook up edirect...

Aren't Friday's wonderful! I've just been hit up with a request from management to install Samba on our Solaris 8 UNIX servers to share out information to the windows PC's. This wouldn't be an issue if the backend was Windows AD but in our case it's eDirectory. The shares also need to be seamlessly accessible to eDirectory based groups/users without interfering with the NIS running on the UNIX systems. Oh, and have this done by Friday next week (good luck!). Does anyone have a checklist or cheat-sheet for an installing Samba on a UNIX box using eDi...

I've got problem with Samba3 when I want to connect to eDirectory. The samba could not connect to the local eDirectory server. The Samba and the eDir can be found on the same Linux box which is a SusSe 9.1. The eDir and the Samba are working pretty good but cant see each other. Is it possible to connect from Samba 3 to Novell's eDirectory ? What are the synta...

Hello, Can Samba join an eDirectory or a domain controlled by a NDS ? Acyualy, my need is to do SSO for IE with Squid, using the NTLM protocol. I know it uses Samba for domains controlled by an Active Directory. Does anybody know if it is possible with an eDirectory. Thx for any answer or advice. Regards, -- Stephane DESMET Respo...

...s about to explode. I have been able to update the most recent samba-nds.schema from the LDAP CVS at samba.org. And I can add posixAccount users with the LDAPTools. But I cannot add anyone as a sambaAccount (./smbldap-useradd -a "username"). Each time, it adds the posixAccount portion to eDirectory, and then failes the sambaAccount add portion. Is there ANYONE who has some experience using the LDAPTools from IdealX with eDirectory? Anyone at all? Is there some error in the scripts? Or some addition/modification I need to make to NDS? Many thanks in advance! Tori

I am also interesting in good docs on this... anyone got any? Is it in the grand howto? :-) Troy >>> "Joe Stuart" <jstuart@edenpr.k12.mn.us> 10/15/03 08:27AM >>> I was wondering if anyone has gotten samba to authenticate to Edirectory? If so is there any good docs anywhere online on how to do it? I've done some searching, but can't seem to find a whole lot.

Hello all, Can anyone help me with setting up SAMBA to do LDAP auth? Do you have to extend the schema with samba attributes or can you just use the LDAP as an authentication source only? Any information on this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks Vince

Hello, We have a RHEL 4 Update 4 server that was configured to store its Samba passwords in eDirectory via LDAP. This was accomplished by adding the following three lines to the [Global] section of smb.conf: ldap admin dn = cn=admin,o=budget ldap suffix = o=budget passdb backend = ldapsam:ldaps://SERVER_NAME:636 After adding the lines and saving the file the admin password is stored using smbpa...

...r confused as to where to start, what direction to go in and how the details are done. I am, however, willing to learn. I just need to do this in a compressed time frame as I need a really cool "show peace" to eval so that I can get some $ thrown at it. Future needs will be Netware Edirectory integration at some level, mainly looking to pull name and phone # out of edirectory and present it to a cisco 7940/60 via XML. I would love to be able to link the asterisk database directly (ldap, dirxml, etc) to edirectory at some point so that changes made in edirectory are sent to the appropr...

Hi all ! Is possible to have in samba schema for ldap using "objectClass=Volume" or "objectClass=Resource", to have volumes in my ldap to manage them from my ldap ? Everything I found is about bindind eDirectory like LDAP from Samba ! Not doing like eDirectory in LDAP for Samba ! :( If you have some idea or if you think that this message is more appropriate to OpenLDAP list !? Thank's PS : My English is not good, so I hope my French touch is nice :)

I'm having a problem adding a password to users. I get "NDS error: no additional information available (-306) when I use smbpasswd. Also I can see in ndstrace that the search string is (&(objectClass=sambaAccount)(uid=WORKGROUP/test)) and not (&(objectClass=sambaAccount)(uid=test)). I have "ldap fileter = (&(cn=%u)(objectClass=sambaAccount)) in my smb.conf. Another

...d user accounts, join (W2K) clients to the samba domain and log in as an user. Changing passwords works, too. I have attached the modified schema file. Can anyone give me a hint about adding users w/o using ConsoleOne? Setting this up with openldap was no problem at all, btw, but I have to use edirectory, because my university wants it that way. Any help is greatly appreceated, -Rolf

Hi list! I am trying to get dovecot to authenticate users against Novell eDirectory via LDAP. I have successfully gotten open-xchange to authenticate, and I have written a PHP module that authenticates, however I cannot seem to get Dovecot working. If I turn on TLS and restart dovecot, I get: dovecot: 2010-05-20 09:22:05 Error: auth(default): LDAP: ldap_start_tls_s() failed: Co...

...4? But after that, I won't be able to have an LDAP source as auth service, right? Are these facts still true, or did something change in the meantime? Background: I'm currently thinking about the future of our NW6.5 servers and came across some guide to at least have Samba3 auth against eDirectory. My current idea is to keep the eDirectory running for auth and maybe printing services (iPrint), but to set up new servers with Samba... I wouldn't really need PDC or AD functionality at the moment, but it would be great to have AD like services in the future. I fear, that Windows 2008/201...

Hello, Has anyone run Hula Server (http://www.hula-project.org) and Samba on the same server and got the user authentication to sync? I imagine this would involve configuring Samba to use eDirectory (Novell) which Hula is using for store. I have searched everywhere for documentation referencing Hula and Samba integration/authentication but only found one article announcing that Novell has contributed its eDirectory APIs to the Samba Project. Have these APIs been implemented yet? Please coul...

Hi All, I have a strange problem with passwords, stored in LDAP.

Hello, I've been Googling and O'Reillying around this problem for the last week without success, so I'm either stupid or it's not possible. My money's still on stupid. Can someone confirm that I can't do what I want to do: - Have a SuSE 9.1 Linux box running Samba 3.0 exporting shares by SMB. - Have users log into Windows boxes running a NetWare client,
