Hi, all there, first of all I like to introduce me cause this is my first post on this list: I am a networkadmin from Germany, struggling with Apple, Linux and Windows for a couple of years now ... I have occassionally worked with samba as a domain controller for three or four years now, but with systems windows 2000 / windows 2003 server / windows XP clients. I have successfully installed

I posted this earlier, but never saw it show up in the mailing list so I'm posting it again. I have a Samba 3.0 PDC using LDAP as it's password database backend, but I can't get a user to log on to a Win2k machine on the domain. In the log file for the PC (on the Samba machine), I see that the user is found in the LDAP backend but that getpwnam failed. The username does not

Samba experts, I am using Samba 3.0.8 on an AIX 5.1 system with ldap authentication. I have ldap working so that users can authenticate in their samba account via ldap. However, I am trying to figure out the best method for allowing users to change their ldap samba account password. What is the best method to allow end users to change their LM/NT passwords for Samba via LDAP? Should

Hello, I still can't figure out why my users' passwords are expiring. Ever since we switched to LDAP, passwords expire every 14 days. Here is an example LDAP user entry: version: 1 # LDIF Export for: uid=sgoodrich,ou=Users,dc=trec,dc=us # Generated by phpLDAPadmin ( http://phpldapadmin.sourceforge.net/ ) on September 6, 2005 10:56 am # Server: TREC (localhost) # Search Scope: base #

Hi, my name is Yusuf, I just join with this groups. I have using samba PDC with LDAP as backend. I have a problem to change user password from web. I tried using sudo smbldap-passwd, change permission every file so apache can read / execute that file, but I'm still can't change the user password. Is there any way to change the password only with change the LDAP password (using

I've been trying to do this for days, and I think I'm really close. It's become one of those so-close-yet-so-far sorts of things. I'm running Gentoo -- all sync'ed up and current as of a week ago -- with the following package versions: openldap-2.1.30-r5 pam_ldap-178-r1 nss_ldap-239-r1 smbldap-tools-0.9.1-r1 phpldapadmin-0.9.5 (very cool, I must say!) samba-3.0.14a-r2

Hi folks, We are using Samba 3.0.10 and are using OpenLdap to manage users. We are also usign PAM to track the users on the computer. The problem that we are having is when Samba has the "encrypt passwords" option is enabled, we recieve an "session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE" message. When "encrypt passwords" is disabled the login is succesful.

Hi, guys, I'm trying to create a PDC using Samba with an LDAP backend. According to all the guides I read, this should be fairly easy really, but I've done nothing else for the last week and it still doesn't work the way the manual says it should! As far as I can see, everything is set up and working correctly right up to the point when I try and join a machine to the domain.

Hi We have some Samba servers using LDAP (389 DS) as backend. In the LDAP server, we have defined some policies to make the passwords stronger. When a user tries to change his password (Control-Alt-Del), this message appears in the LOGs: ==> /var/log/samba/xptest <== [2010/06/28 12:26:26, 2] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(309) check_ntlm_password: authentication for user [10000001S]

Hi everybody, I made a pretty complete howto for samba on debian servers. This howto covers samba + ldap + cups + recycle bin + samba-vscan + phpldapadmin + ACL + Extended Attributes. this howto is also based on the idealx howto If you do this setup, you should be able to use the NT4 Usermanager, setup Point en Print Printing. set rights from explorer etc. other nice tools is ldapadmin (

Hi All, I have a strange problem with passwords, stored in LDAP. When i try to logon as a user with the correct password, access is denied and the log says check_ntlm_password: Authentication for user [administrator] -> [administrator] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER When i try to logon a user with incorrect password, access is (of course) denied, but the log now says

Hey list, Right now I have Samba+LDAP working (like a charm acctually) I just have one issue. Right now Samba is authenticating the user against the sambaLMPassword and/or the sambaNTPassword attributes. I would rather it authenticated against the userPassword attribute like my unix boxes and mail servers do. Is samba capable of doing this? Otherwise I have to maintain two seperate passwords

Greetings All. First let me introduce my situation Machine1: Pdc Samba + OpenLDAP(master) Machine2: Bdc Samba + OpenLDAP(slave) LDAP stores Samba and POSIX information for each user. Case1: I login to Machine1 and invoke smbpasswd. I change my passwords (samba and posix without any problem). In next few seconds they get propagated to Machin2 wher I can login with new credentials. ldap log

I have a Samba-PDC installation (version is 3.6.3) with openLDAP. When I change the password from a client (Windows/XP and Windows/7) the attribute "sambaNTPassword" is changed and I can log-in with the new pssword. The problem is that the content of the attribute "sambaLMPassword" is deleted. I remember that in my previous version of Samba (3.0.28) both attributes were

Is it possible for a user to change his/her password from Windows? I tried it out last night as a test user against my PDC and it only changed for Samba; I was still able to log into the PDC via SSH using the previous password. (I changed it for the test user as root and it took for both SSH and Windows.) I tried to use smbldap-passwd as the test user, but I got a message back saying I had

Hi, there! When my XP users try to change passwords, they get a message saying that password has been changed. That's not true! NT and LM passwords are changed but unixPassword isn't. Look at this openldap.log lines: Feb 12 07:50:28 apolo slapd[22826]: conn=698021 op=40 MOD dn="uid=teste,ou=Users,dc=domain" Feb 12 07:50:28 apolo slapd[22826]: conn=698021 op=40 MOD

I'm switching from OpenLDAP to the newly released Fedora Directory Server (formely known as the Netscape Directory Server) as a LDAP backend for my Samba domain. I'm now faced with a problem regarding how Fedora DS handles the userPassword field. Unlike OpenLDAP it encodes it in base64 so instead of reading userPassword: {SSHA}0lP+r3Z1NVan7Caf4CG9oSgnTbQRrv/p it reads: userPassword::

Hallo, I have to transfer samba passwords from an LDAP installation to a non- LDAP installation, passwddb is smbpasswd. LDAP shows "sambaLMPassword" and "sambaNTPassword"; smbpasswd needs 2 password entries. Can I copy the above LDAP passwords? If yes: what is what? Viele Gruesse! Helmut

Hi, what are the minimum permissions for the attributes sambaLMPassword/sambaNTPassword for the the LDAP administrator account so that Samba is just enabled to use it for authentication with ldapsam backend. It seems like auth is not enough, is this true?! Thanks, Arokux

Some days ago we were able to add machines to our Samba+OpenLDAP domain, but after we decided to update samba from 3.0.5a to 3.0.21c now we can't do that anymore!. In adding a machine, the "wellcome to domain XXX" message appears, but after rebooting the machine it doesn't works!. Looking the openldap entries, now we are having these kind of entries: sambaSID:
