Hello, I'm new in Samba Ldap. I use samba-2.2.3a and openldap2-2.1.4-46. I am going to load in Ldap a lot of users in a ldif file as it is shown below. But I don't know how to put samba password. I can use: smbpasswd juan1 and then the fields lmPassword and ntPassword are changed. In this way, after load all users in Ldap I would need a script to do a smbpasswd for each user

hi all, i am actually trying to get samba 3.01 (on SLES 8.0) working as PDC with the ldap backend. I have already configured nsswitch to also use ldap for groups and passwords (the root user is still in the /etc/passwd file - i can't imagine that putting the root user into openldap is a really good idea).

Hello samba mailing list, I'm using samba 3.0.24 on a home server running Debian etch. The server handles authentication and provides samba file shares for a small home network of Linux machines. I recently changed basic login authentication from NIS to kerberos/ldap for the clients. I then decided to switch samba over on the server to use the new ldap authentication backend. The [global]

Hy * I'm searching for Doku acting as an PDC in an Windows environment. I was able to set up the Ldap-Directory itself, storing the Users in the Directory, this all is working. But was not able to let the Workstations join the Domain. Here i don't find Dokumentation about it. Can anyone send me links about Dokumentation about LDAP and Samba, acting as an PDC. Thank you very much

I have successfully setup samba (2.0.6 on redhat 6.1) to authenticate users and get all user account information (home dir etc) from an ldap server (openldap 1.2.7 on freebsd3.4) with win95/98 clients using nss_ldap/pam_ldap and plaintext passwords. I would like to use the same setup with client-side encryption ie. between client (win98) and samba server, but have been unable to. My question is

Hello, I'm struggling with setting Samba 3 + OpenLDAP as a PDC. I had no problems with setting Samba 3 as a PDC (I could join domain, users could log in, machines were added automatically, roaming profiles worked etc.). But when it comes to setting Samba 3 + OpenLDAP as a PDC, I'm stuck - I can join a domain, but can't log in as a user; Samba logs say user auth was successful,

A couple of days ago I decided that I needed a samba and ldap setup. After reading the samba mailing list , specifically the thread "Re: [Samba] Samba and LDAP backend - howto docs problems?" I decided to buy the Official Samba-3 HowTo and Reference guide", (the Samba-3 By Example mentioned in that thread wasn't available in my bookstore and they could't order it for me too)

Now I need to transfer the whole old smbpasswd to the new ldap-style to convert users and machines with minimal effort. Especially I dont want to break the relations between the machines and

Hi all, I've dug through the lists and google, but haven't found very much info on using Citrix with a samba PDC. The small number of messages and information I've found, lead me to believe it will work. Does anyone have any first hand knowledge they'd be willing to share? I'm currently involved in rolling out Citrix for proprietary windows apps for remote offices.

Greetings!!! I am using samba 3.0.28 clients authenticating AD R2 with SFU 3.5. I have setup nss info to template, sfu get the uid, gid, home dir and shell from AD. The problem is it seems to be working for sometime, and then it says could not get uid/gid pair. I am assuming some kind of caching is causing this. My understanding with SFU is that, there wont be any mappings and the specific user

Hi! I am trying to migrate to a new server, with a shiny-new installation of RedHat 9. I have downloaded the 3.0alpha23 rpm intended for RedHat 8.0... I am also using the stock RedHat 9 version of OpenLDAP. By itself, LDAP is working fine: this is how I log onto my Linux boxes. I am including one sample user (me) below, which I extracted using "ldapsearch -x". Great - this is

We have a small Ubuntu 9.10 file server in a large Win 2003/2008 domain. There is no X nor web browser in the server.
