similar to: Samba PDC / BDC with ldapsam

Software: OS: Redhat 9 Samba Ver: Samba 3.0.0 (Plus excel writelock patch, waiting for 3.0.2!) OpenLDAP Ver: 2.0.27-8 Just a quick question about PDC / BDC interaction, my plan is to distribute Samba (with slave ldap backend) BDCs to remote facilities, as well as have one on each network segment in the hopes of avoiding unnecessary nmb broadcast traffic. My question is this: Will the PDC /

hi, i see the same error message with samba 3.0.14a and OpenLDAP 2.2.23 (Debian Packages) with Master/Slave setup. i did not set up a referral to the master, so why does samba get a referral when attempting to write to a slave? is this an in-build samba feature? do i have to enable referrals to get this to work properly? any advise is appreciated! thx! micha Zwonarz Ivo wrote: > We use

I have successfully joined the XP machine to the domain. The strange part is, that it only wanted to be joined if it connected to the PDC and not the BDC. The way it is set-up is that the XP machine and a BDC is in one branch and the PDC is in another. Every time I would try to connect via the BDC, it would return a value ACCESS DENIED I stopped the smb service on the BDC, and got it to

We use sambaPDC + LDAP On our BDC we have a replicated ldap slave. Everything seems to work fine. Hower, in the smbd log file we have the following messages (only on the BDC's) [2006/05/31 15:25:08, 1] passdb/pdb_ldap.c:ldapsam_modify_entry(1495) ldapsam_modify_entry: Failed to modify user dn= uid=pc01233$,ou=Machines,dc=brrc,dc=be with: Referral [2006/05/31 15:25:08, 0]

Hi, I was wondering if a Samba BDC should be able to create users and computer accounts when connecting to a LDAP PDC server? Should the add scripT lines be included in a BDC's smb.conf file? Normally, as far I know, BDC should just log on users. Or am I wrong? Thanks,

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

Hi, I have successfully installed and configured Samba 3.0.2 PDC & BDC / ldap master & slave servers in local network. Then I moved BDC to another site (with WAN connectivity). Now I discovered that workstations on this site (with BDC) are not able to join domain. After some investigations (also tcpdump) I found out that problem is that BDC don't reply to NBNS requests for name

Hi, We are using a PDC (Primary LDAP) and BDC (Replica LDAP). Changing password on PDC works fine, but no way when users are logged on BDC. The truth is that PDC and BDC are configured with passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://127.0.0.1/. The users get the message like "You are not allowed to change password" or "You can not change password at this time" when they want to

Hi, I just can't seem to get winbind to work on my BDC. I'm using FC3 and samba 3.0.20rc2. My PDC is RHEL4 running Samba 3.0.14a. / Openldap. I can join the BDC to the domain successfully using "net rpc join..." , but when i enter wbinfo -t to check the trust relationship i get checking the trust secret via RPC calls failed error code was (0x0) Could not check secret I

hi@all! i have a samba server with ldap as pdc. everything works fine and now i'm testing samba as bdc. i copied the smb.conf from the pdc to the bdc and changed the domain master = yes to no! then i stopped the smb service on the pdc and tried to login on an winxp machine and this also worked (the log file show me that the login is on the bdc)! is it possible that the users can change

I have a samba PDC with a master openldap server and a samba BDC with a slave openldap server. Replication is done with slurpd with a TLS connection and the slave ldap server has an updateref pointing to the master (I don't use ldaps). On each domain controller my smb.conf contains: passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://localhost Now I'd like my ldap servers to reject non TLS connections

Hello I have a network setup with one Samba PDC and two Samba BDCs separated by routers (ref http://www.cybersource.com.au/users/mikef/samba/). In this test environment the Samba servers all use the master OpenLDAP server on the PDC, but the production system will have OpenLDAP servers (using master-slave replication) on all Samba servers. I can't get the Windows XP client to change a

Hi, Let's see if any of the questions gets answered or at least I get ponte dto something that can help me. I followed this wiki: http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/HOWTO/Join_a_domain_as_a_DC#Getting_ready_for_joining_Samba_as_a_DC_to_an_existing_domain I have my S4 domain running, I compiled and installed another S4 to replicate the first server and joined successfully to the

Hello, I can't get my BDC to talk to the LDAP slave running on the same machine. Replication between slave and master works but samba on the BDC doesn't appear to be communicating with the slave LDAP server. Everything off the PDC works fine. -- smb.conf on BDC -- [global] workgroup = WarehamPS encrypt passwords = Yes time offset = 60 time server = Yes

I've been trying to get this to work for a few days now. I read that domain requests are sent via broadcast, and to use WINS to get around it. Well, I've enabled the WINS server on my Samba PDC, and told the BDC's on each VPN segment that the PDC is a WINS server. WINS resolution works apparently, I can sit on a VPN'd network segment and ping machines across the VPN via their

Hi all, I am newbie on this and I couldn't figure out what I have configured wrong. I have setup three Linux Debian Sarge servers with openldap2 + samba3. PDC and master ldap on one machine and BDC slave ldap on the other two. I followed instructions on http://us1.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/happy.html to set them up. I am using utilities smbldap-passwd.pl from idealx for

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

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

Hello, I just configured Samba 3 PDC + LDAP. The aim is to have a Samba 3 PDC + LDAP in each branch office; and there should be one user/password database. There are about 20 branch offices in different locations and users travel a lot between them with laptops. Each branch office has a below configuration: - Samba 3 PDC - slave OpenLDAP server There is also one central user/password

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
