Hi all, Where do you store your non-Rails-specific configuration info? For instance, I want to be able to login to LDAP as a particular admin user. I don''t want the u/p combo in any of the models...does it go in environment.rb? database.yml? Set a constant in a lib file? When you''ve got it in a good location, how do you access it? Thanks! Sean

Hi Samba List, I am developing software which should interop with AD/LDAP, I am looking at using the Samba DC and loading it with some example user accounts. "Interop with AD" means use and AD backend for authentication, retrieval of basic user record and membership info. Simple enough/ In the past, I've implemented similar functionality using OpenLDAP as the reference backend

Basically, we needed to authenticate against the cookie written by Ruby. It turns out that you can write a cookie for the entire TLD of *.example.com from Instiki (Rails). So, I changed the cookie writing code in the wiki_controller to the following. # app/controllers/wiki_controller.rb cookies[''ldap_username_2006''] = {:value =>emailaddress, :expires

Thank you Louis! I had https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Setting_up_Samba_as_an_Active_Directory_Domain_Controller in my bag of tricks, now from your link I found https://github.com/thctlo/samba4/blob/master/howtos/stretch-base-2.0-samba-minimal-ad.txt which looks good. Our Linux platform is CentOS at this time (but I've been a DD and long time debianista). I'll go through both. How do

About the last question, I'll be reading up on samba-tool. Apologies. A better question is: can I run the DC without an attached DNS server? How little can I get away with running? In my imagination, I should be able to run just the LDAP+Kerberos parts, AIUI that's all I need, skipping DNS, fileserving, winbind, etc; blame this on my view of AD as a quirky LDAP. Again, scoped for my use
