Howdy Folks, I'm working on implimenting centralized authentication for a mixed environment: - Samba(3.0rc4) -> Win2k/XP OpenLDAP User Store -> - nss_ldap -> linux/unix - FreeRadius -> Cisco/HP Networking Equip (My apologies if that doesn't look right for anyone) I have a functional ldap database (openldap-2.0.27-8), and I'd very much like to use Samba 3.x (been

OS / Software: PDC / Master LDAP store: - Redhat 9 - OpenLDAP 2.1.25 - Samba 3.0.0 BDC / Slave LDAP store: - Redat 9 - OpenLDAP 2.0.27-8 - Samba 3.0.2 >From the Samba HOWTO Collection on www.samba.org: (Backup Domain Control) "Can I Do This All with LDAP? The simple answer is yes. Samba's pdb_ldap code supports binding to a replica LDAP server, and will also follow

First, the software: Samba 3.0.0 OpenLDAP 2.0.27 nssldap / pam_ldap Redhat 9 This may be more of a question for the OpenLDAP mailing list.. but does anyone know of a method (perhaps using slappasswd?) to hand-sync userPassword attributes to sambaNTPassword attributes? Deploying Samba 3.0 as pdc pretty soon, used Migration Tools on the mail server soon, and I'd really like to be able to tell

Before I begin, big thanks to John Terpstra for helping me out with my previous issues. But alas I have another issue, I need to enforce strong passwords on windows side (i.e. ctrl+alt+delete change password), minimum password length, can't be dictionary words, etc. etc. (Setup is Samba 3.0.0 as PDC with LDAP passdb) >From what I undersatnd previously this could've been done using

At the risk of having my inbox flooded with another 10,000 Emails from "Microsoft" proporting the "latest security update".. Now that smb3.0 is out and about, I'd really like to use it for authenticating windows users / PDC (With BDC in the plans) My problem is that there seems to be little to zero up to date documentation on how to integrate Samba and LDAP, the most I

Basically, have an old IVR application running under Apex's Omnivox software on a box with 4 old intel dialogic D240SCs, and would like to allow remote clients to gain access to aforementioned IVR application via softphone, 7960, ata, etc via asterisk with a TE410P. Unfortunately, all I know about the dialogics is that they're configured for D4/AMI, which I believe I have configured right

Hi, I'm using xapian(1.2.2) python interface to connect remote xapian-tcpserv daemon. I'm starting the daemon as given below: xapian-tcpsrv --port 9100 --interface 127.0.0.1 --writable ./xapiandb/ and in script.py: import xapian as xa db = xa.remote_open_writable('localhost', 9100) # other stuff # ... script is a long running program, and when i try to run

Cool, thanks alot, I really appreciate your time. I'm extremely pleased with 3.0.x's stability, I don't think local segment failover is really going to be a huge issue.

Good day, everyone. I have SAN server build with Openfiler OS, with iSCSI mode turned on. I have two nodes, which connect to that server via iSCSI, using one of two active iSCSI partitions. I've installed ocfs2 1.3.3 with kernel 2.6.23.1, configured it, made ocfs2 partition and was successful in mounting it on both nodes. Everything works just fine, I can upload file from one node and

Software: - Samba 3.0 (Stable) - OpenLDAP 2.0.27 - Windows 2000 clients I'd like to impliment full-blown nt-style permissions on my existing Samba (with LDAP backend) server / shares. (i.e. file properties--> security: different groups / users, with different permissions etc. etc.) Now I've dug around and found that this can be supported either via ext2/3 + some ACL patch (anyone got

hello, I'd like to setup domain authentication purely based on Samba Domain Controllers. Each subnet would have its own BDC (with security = domain option), forwarding smb requests to the PDC (located on the backbone), ie authentication, shares.. My PDC is LDAP based, all that part is ok, win98 workstations successfully log into the PDC. I use idealx smbldap tools, that seem to work fine. I

When BDC will not make any changes in ldap, is it safe to not set any *script paramater in smb.conf? --beast

I am having issues integrating a FC3 system with AD running on W2k3. I can not figure out why the user ID mappings and Group ID mappings are going stale. This is a generic FC3 install with all of the latest updates. login as: jgallagh Sent username "jgallagh" jgallagh@linman's password: Last login: Fri May 6 08:14:23 2005 from 192.168.168.2 id: cannot find name for group ID

Hello all, We have Samba (2.2.5) running on three servers, each in a different subnet. One of them is a PDC (domain master = yes). The Samba PDC is also the NIS master. The smbpasswd is replicated using rsync to the other machines that act as Samba BDCs (domain master = no). They are also NIS slave servers. The smbpasswd synchronization takes place automatically every time smbpasswd is updated,

We're about to start migrating from Windows NT 4.0 to a Samba controlled setup. I've got a question about the functionality of the Samba PDCs and BDCs. In my Windows setup I have three domains that are defined by geographic locations. Each of these domains "trusts" the other. In Samba 2.2.7, I can't have the trusts, so I'm looking at creating one giant domain that

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all, Sorry for this general question, but I'd like to hear your opinion on this subject, but I'd like to set up a really working backup solution for my PDC, currently it uses NFS, so there are lots of issues: No ACLs, When NFS server goes down, everything fails. What method would you recommend for replicating folders, keeping existing ACLs

Hi, I had a working enviroment of one PDC and several BDCs. The PDC is Samba version 3.6.6. After replacing of one BDC, I've started to get the following error in LDAP master server: Aug 22 13:44:59 gw slapd[28598]: conn=46129 op=51 do_search: invalid dn (sambaDomainName=Administrator,(null)) and on the PDC: root@:~# net getlocalsid smbldap_search_domain_info: Adding domain info for XXX

Dear Help, We are currently running Samba 3.0.22 on a distributed network/domain as a PDC (primary domain controller) and several as BDCs (Backup domain controllers) in our branch offices located around the country. At this point, the PDC is set up in our corporate office (where I'm located) and users have no trouble authenticating (via logging into windows and accessing shares) and also

I was wondering how people sync the roaming profiles in an environment with a PDC and multiple BDCs. Are profiles better stored in another server (a member server) instead of the xDC? I could use rsync from the PDC to the BDC, but that doesn't work the other way around, i.e., when a user logs in via a BDC whatever changes they make won't go back to the PDC. Unless the profile is: - always
