Hi guys Im looking to config a BDC server for the high traffic supported inside the primary server. I never configured a BDC server inside ubuntu 9.04 and OpenLdap and Im very lost. Looking for internet I found howtos for PDCs server but not for BDC. Anyone can help me more? Im making a clean install and I don't know how to create same users than PDC for samba and how to make a slave ldap

Sorry.. One more email.. I tried to create the IDMAP container on the LDAP with an example I found: dn: ou=Idmap,dc=softeng,dc=com objectClass: organizationalUnit ou: idmap structuralObjectClass: organizationalUnit and it gives: adding new entry "ou=Idmap,dc=softeng,dc=com" ldap_add: Constraint violation additional info: structuralObjectClass: no user modification allowed

Hi all, I know this is not ldap list, but I'm setting SAMBA LDAP BDC; I think many of you have experience with this. I setup a replica, I haven't done the following I followed 1. http://howto.aphroland.de/HOWTO/LDAP/ReplicationOverSSLConfigureOpenLDAP 2. http://howto.aphroland.de/HOWTO/LDAP/ReplicationOverSSLSlaveServer 3.

I can't say I've tested this in any depth. Where multiple LDAP servers are listed as the LDAP backend is the behaviour of Samba that if it fails to contact the first listed server it will try the second and so on? If that's the case Samba should only ever try and update the password on a single LDAP server which would then replicate the change to any other master and slave LDAP servers

Hello I makeing a Domain Controller with Samba (v3.0.33) and LDAP (v2.4). I will install a PDC in the headquarter and a BDC in the subsidiary of the company that I work. The PDC and the BDC will have his own LDAP data base. I just install the PDC without problems and my next step is to install the BDC. I configured the LDAP that work in multi master mode. I made some test and the LDAP works

Is this Samba 3 or Samba 4? If samba 3, which ldap server are you using> What is the mail server? Does the mail server have its own LDAP server included it or is also using an external LDAP server. If you want replication between LDAP servers, they should be the same type of LDAP server (e.g. OpenLDAP or Apache Directory Server or Oracle Directory Server.) If you have one

Since we're on the subject of Samba over the WAN.... (BTW, I'm running three offices with a Samba 3.0.9 PDC and two Samba 3.0.9 BDCs over an FreeSwan based WAN and it works just fine. The WINS server is a must in my book though.) Last Thursday and Friday, one of the remove office's WAN lines went down. While the outages were significant, nothing major happened because of it. But,

Hi all, anyone able to point out why I'm not able to get samba 3.0.0 to update my LDAP server with any idmap data? I'm using SunOne DS 5.2 LDAP server and the following entries in my smb.conf file, ldap admin dn = "uid=admin,ou=Administrators,ou=TopologyManagement,o=NetscapeRoot" ldap ssl = off ; ldap suffix = "dc=testlan,dc=bbc,dc=co,dc=uk" ** have tried with this

I've seen this posting before but I need to get a grasp on this. I am using winbindd for users that don't have a local account on a Linux box. I thought that placing the entries below in the smb.conf would create users in ou=Idmap. Instead the ou=Idmap increments the uidNumber with every user that is added,but the user ID mappings are stored in /usr/local/var/locks/winbindd_idmap.tdb. What

Hello, I have two ldapservers with Samba PDC and BDC. I started with the PDC i use Suse 9.0 with ldap "out of the box" and Samba 3.0.2a. Everything is working fine with only the PDC running. Now i configured replication. In my slapd.conf file on the master server i added the following lines #permission access to * by dn="cn=repl,dc=felix,dc=local" write # database definition

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

I have two serves set up. One will be my PDC (master) and the other will be my BDC (slave). I have openldap setup and replicating the data between the two servers. Everything seems to work fine from the Master, but I have one problem with the slave. From the slave, I can do an ldapsearch and everthing is fine. But when I do a 'pdbedit -L', I get the following: Unknown parameter

Hey list, I've got a problem with my PDC/BDC setup. They're both running 3.0.23c on Sarge, and I've verified that both the PDC and BDC will authenticate users. test-pdc:/etc/samba# testparm Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Processing section "[netlogon]" Loaded services file OK.

Hi, Our domain is setup with one Primary Domain Controller and two Backup Domain Controllers, and a member server. All domain controllers (PDC and BDCs) are running Gentoo Linux with Samba and LDAP. The member server (fileserver) is a SUNS machine running Solaris. We do everything (add, edit, modify groups and accounts) on the PDC and it will then sync all the changes to the BDC by way of

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

hello I've been reading the thread (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=113286376900001&r=1&w=2) and I have the same limitation with WINS in a PDC/BDC. That's why I have the following (experimental) setup: PDC ==> wins support = yes, passdb backend: master ldap BDC ==> wins support = yes, passdb backend: slave ldap I configured some of my XP clients to use both WINS servers

Hello List, i have got a samba pdc running based on the smbldap tools and Debian Sarge. Now we would like to move everything over to Ubuntu Hardy. Can i simply: - Create the same users and groups with the same id on Hardy - Move the files and profiles over by keeping their permissions (rsync -avzp ...) - Set the samba SID to be the old orginial one (i do not know how this could be done and if

hi list&john, i read in the documention about BDCs: The domain SID has to be the same on the PDC and the BDC. In Samba versions pre-2.2.5, the domain SID was stored in the file |private/MACHINE.SID|. For all versions of Samba released since 2.2.5 the domain SID is stored in the file |private/secrets.tdb|. This file is unique to each server and cannot be copied from a PDC to a BDC; the BDC

Hi, I'd like to know if any of you have ever implemented Samba 3 with OpenLDAP multimaster (using syncrepl, maybe) or Fedora-DS. The basic idea would be: - WAN link dies, the remote office's BDC would promote itself to PDC (using some kind of monitoring script), and will start accepting changes to the user base. Also, some change to the local WINS server would be necessary. - WAN link
