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

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 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

The simple answer is yes. Samba's pdb_ldap code supports binding to a replica LDAP server, and will also follow

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

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, 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

We have SuSE SLES9 servers with LDAP master/slave replication (24 replications/BDC's) All working fine -joining domain etc. The problem I am having is PC's at remote sites (BDC) with a local replica (OpenLDAP) periodically change the sambaNTPassword/sambaLMPassword on there own and write to the local LDAP server and do NOT follow the referral to the master. I have written scripts to

OK - I'm actually functioning but I'm afraid and I want to fill in a knowledge gap - perhaps a slight gap in the How-To Book or my ability to soak in its' wisdom. LDAP up and working on two machines, master & slave and changes made in master can be found by ldapsearch on slave faster than two up arrows and a return (gosh, it only took me 10 days but the light bulb has definitely

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

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.

Hi all ! In the samba-Howto, i was looking on informations on how to set up both a samba PDC and a samba BDC controller with ldap backend. I can read: -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Do not install a Samba PDC on a OpenLDAP slave server... Possible PDC/BDC plus LDAP configurations include: . PDC -> LDAP master server, BDC -> LDAP slave server.

I'm in the process of building a Samba PDC for my office, and I have a couple of questions. We have three regional offices connected via VPN. We'd like to have network browsing across all three network, with a single login. I was going to do a Samba machine with an LDAP backend on the same machine. So would it be advisable to have the PDC at the main office and BDC at each of the regional

I have a RH 7.2 PDC which uses DHCP for 2 machines on the network. My Win9x machine as a client/BDC just in case and uses a static IP. If the PDC goes down. I have to put in or take out the PDC's gateway IP and was wondering if there was a way to get ONLY the info I need from DHCP to the Win machine. To attempt to clarify, when the PDC is up, it will assign its gateway IP to the BDC (since it

Hello! I want to create BDC with smbpasswd backend, just because I run ldap master on the same machine as PDC and I don't think that using ldap backend will be far better for me.

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 have a Samba-LDAP PDC at an office and 5 BDC's at other offices. At corporate HQ I have a W2k Server and domain. I have properly configured an interdomain trust and Users in the Samba domain can get to sections on the W2k machine regardless of location. However, members in the W2K domain can only access shares on the PDC. Attempts to access shares on a BDC cause a user name
