similar to: Issue logging on in a samba + ldap environment

I have two samba dc's, same subnet, the goal is to have them both be able to answer domain login requests and therefore if one goes down we still have the ability to login to the domain. Can this be done with samba? if so could you just tell me generally the procedure for this? heres what I have right now. server1, openldap master, samba points to loopback for ldap server2, openldap replica,

I have a client who has a bunch of macs accessing some samba shares, and they write these ._filename and .DS_STORE files all over the place, he would perfer it to not write these files at all. Anyone ran into this issue? what would be the best way to prevent these files from getting written onto the shares? veto? -- Matt Pruett <entelin@logicaldreams.net>

I have setup two samba domain controllers, both have basicly the same configs and use the same ldap database backend. Often however when logging in users will get a "domain cannot be contacted" error, attempting to login multiple times will eventually get them in and it will work fine from then on. The question is, is there anything else I really need to do to make this work correctly?

Is it possible (and correct) to have two DC's on the same subnet? Both have write access to an ldap backend. -- Matt Pruett <entelin@logicaldreams.net>

i have two domain controllers, both have openldap, server1 can write to the ldap database and pushes that to server2 which can only read. In the smbldap.conf file it reads... # Notes: to use to dual ldap servers backend for Samba, you must patch # Samba with the dual-head patch from IDEALX. If not using this patch # just use the same server for slaveLDAP and masterLDAP. # Those two servers

Hi, In the past I have created an LDAP group 'Accounting' and used that group to set permissions on shares coming from a Windows 2003 server. I am now trying to create a group 'Marketing' for the same purpose. I have created the group in phpLdapAdmin and created the group using smbldap-groupadd. Oh, and I copied the 'Accounting' group to 'Marketing'. Each time I

dear All, I'm trying to set Shadow options in Ldap with the help of phpLDAPadmin.

But how can I have

Hi all, I'm setting up a number of samba DC's across several branch offices using the Samba 3.0.0 release's native LDAP support. I'd like to build some redundancy into my setup, such as having slave LDAP servers in case the master is down/unavailable. However, when I have multiple ldapsam entries in my smb.conf I get duplicate or triplicate users listed when performing a

I am working on a ldap base to authenticate user. My problem is binding to ldap with phpldapadmin or cpu. I can bind anonymously with phpldapadmin. ldapadd, ldapsearch etc. works. Users in the database can logon, so the authentication works, but I cant bind.... I need some input please, I cant find the missing link. ERRORS: # ldappasswd norman SASL/DIGEST-MD5 authentication started Please

i have been playing with 3.3beta2 for a few weeks now and i can easily create inconsistencies between replicas. my first test was to start an rsync from a client using the gluster fuse code and then reboot one of the servers. after the rsync finishes, i can see that the replicas are out of sync (which is to be expected), so i start a self-heal via find. after that has run to completion, i

I remain unclear regarding Samba and LDAP. It appears that mkntpwd is required to generate a viable sambaNTPassword and sambaLMPassword attribute values. But I believe I read that the current incarnation of smbpasswd can accomplish this. Lastly, when utilzing phpLDAPadmin, do the NT and LM password fields contain the values generated by mkntpwd? -- Raymond

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 once upon a time worked with DAP and watched LDAP being created as something that actually could work... Showing my age here. What little I have done with LDAP has been very clearly delineated so that I knew what was being done. Here, with Samba, and I guess actually, it is AD, I have not found that. Yet. But there are always tools. So I am looking at: phpLDAPadmin I know these

All, I suspect this is OT, or a solution may have been posted. Either way, I beg your indulgence. While I've used Samba for quite a few years, I recently took a stab at using it in an organization I volunteer at to create a PDC, in conjunction with openldap. The good news is it works, for the most part, after some set-up struggles. I have a couple of remaining issues, but let me take them

Hello, I'm running samba4 and I installed phpldapadmin to connect to the samba ldap. When I am logged in as administrator i can't see the password hashes of my users or myself. Does samba need any extra configuration/ compile parameters to view the password hashes? Or does samba has a default "manager" ldap account? Best Regards Tim Vangehugten

Hello, I am trying to get LDAP running. So far, the server is running but I cannot connect to port 389 or the server using webmin or phpldapadmin. It could be my ISP has blocked this port but I'm not sure. I have tried to telnet to port 389 but it is refused. All other services run fine. I user the iptables ruleset found in the IP-Masquerade HowTo. Below is the ruleset I follow for
