similar to: Samba 3 by Example - chapter 5 & 6 ( Manager -> sambaadmin)

Well I am glad that there has been alot of input on this topic, alot of people are having different opinions but that is because we are not focusing with the problem at hand. The documentation provides full details on how to get samba + ldap working from scratch; but there seems to be a gap between chapter 5 & 6; Once again I will say I love this book; by far the best technical reference

Hey Guys, I have just upgraded to version 3.0.21rc1. I decided to re-populate the database and test if everything is working. ./smbldap-populate -a root -k 0 -m 0 -> ok ./smbldap-useradd -m -a username -> ok ./smbldap-passwd username -> ok smbpasswd username - > fail [root@node1 sbin]# smbpasswd asender New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: ldapsam_set_account_policy: Could

Hi All, Has any one got an idea of how to make clients automatically find the BDC when the PDC is stopped. Both PDC and BDC are running by Samba authenticating again a LDAPSAM backend replicated on both the PDC with master LDAP database and BDC with replicated LDAP database. But when I stop PDC the clients are not detecting the BDC broadcast. I can see that the replication is of

I am trying to create a Samba Admin account in FDS as per the final steps of http://directory.fedora.redhat.com/wiki/Howto:Samba I've asked about this on the FDS mailing list with no luck, I am hoping someone here will be able to help me. I've created a file with contents: Administrator:x:0:0:Samba Admin:/root:/bin/bash I then ran: /usr/share/openldap/migration/migrate_passwd.pl

Hello, I setting up a new PDC for a new domain using samba 3.2.0 I use LDAP as passwd/idmap backend. I started from scratch just creating the OU for the users/groups/machines/idmaps in the ldap directory, + a user used to bind to ldap. So from there I started winbind and ran net sam provision, which worked great. Now I plan this domain will have a one way trust with one other domain, and as I

I've setup samba to use LDAP passdb backend and it works fine. LDAP has sambaNTPassword and more samba entities. But I wonder if I can make samba work with userPassword only. I think somebody is doing it and I look at their config but couldn't find anything special. Thanks. [global] workgroup = NT netbios name = SAMBASERVER server string = NT Master passdb

Hi, we had this setup working for quite some time but after upgrading the samba package things look different: we now have the following samba/ldap setup: samba-3.0.34p1-cups-ldap openldap-server-2.3.43 the samba-ldap configuration is: doing parameter ldap suffix = dc=foo,dc=ch doing parameter ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers,ou=Samba,ou=system doing parameter ldap user suffix =

The Next Guide Will Be... August 3rd, 2005 The next guide on Sambadmin will about creating a great LDAP infrastructure. I have been disappointed that I have only received two comments about what the next guide should be, especially since the site has had over 500 visitors in the past two days. I came to this decision after reading my posts. I stated that the core motivation behind all of this is

I am working on reconfiguring an app that we are about to release to work tighter with another app that we already have. Both of these apps are going to share a single users database that stores the general information about the user such as login, password, name, email and so forth. They also have app specific stuff that is attributed to the user that is stored in the app''s own

Hi all, I have a samba pdc running 3.0.20 + the patches on http://hostopia.samba.org/samba/patches running RHEL4 on an x86_64 platform. I have configured it to use an ldapsam backend per http://us2.samba.org/samba/docs/man/Samba-Guide/2000users.html Since there is not much in the way of testing listed in the "2000users" section I used the tests listed under the making users happy

I can't update the users within our LDAP database using smbpasswd. I have attached the output from the smbpasswd debugger below: isun02$ smbpasswd -D 256 -U hoferpa Netbios name list:- my_netbios_names[0]="ISUN02" New SMB password: Retype new SMB password: Trying to load: ldapsam Attempting to register passdb backend ldapsam Successfully added passdb backend 'ldapsam'

Hi All thought I'd post my results from following your notes when trying to replicate my Samba PDC onto a Samba BDC as seen here https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/1.0._Configuring_Samba everything seemed to work as described until I got into the 'Initialization LDAP Database' and preloading the edited "preload-differentialdesign.ldif" file, kept getting a failure from

Hi list, If I have multiple Samba member servers in a domain can I store the groupmap data in LDAP? When I try this I get this error # net groupmap add ntgroup=Everyone unixgroup=nobody No rid or sid specified, choosing algorithmic mapping adding entry for group nobody failed! But this works correctly (creates account in LDAP server) smbpasswd -a username password the LDAP config in my

Hello, I am currently migrating from OpenLDAP to samba4 and encountered the following problem, I only can bind to CN=sambaadmin,CN=Users,DC=example,DC=com. So I was wondering if it is possible to bind to the CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=example,DC=com? If so, where can I find the credentials? Best Regards Tim Vangehugten

I'm looking at using Linux/Samba in a lab environment. What I'd like is for the Win95 Machines to connect as the default guest user normally, ie read-only. But, if I log in as let's say, SambaAdmin, it prompts for a password and will allow writing to that shared resource. I've tried a couple of different settings, but regardless of how I log into the Microsoft Client, it will

Hello All, I am currently having an issue with my samba PDC. I have recently updated to 3.6.5 Samba, and have made what i believe to be the correct changes in my config to account for the changes to the idmap system. My setup is as follows, SAMBA PDC on RHEL 6.2, which authenticates passwords through Kerberos, and Deals with user profiles via LDAP. I had about 25 Windows clients which were able

Hello Lads, I have a PDC & BDC / Master & Slave; I regularly make backups of the LDAP database: Slapcat ¡Vv ¡Vl backupallusers.txt. Both my PDC & BDC have been rebuilt from scratch, I slapadd ¡Vv ¡Vl backupallusers.txt and I net set localsid domainsidhere for the PDC << I get that from the backupallusers.txt. Smbpasswd ¡Vw secret < on both PDC & BDC Net rpc getsid

Most of this is generated by FreeNAS's gui, so I'll have to figure out how to override it. I know where the file is, but I don't know if changes I make to it will actually stick, but that's for a different forum :) Just curious, since I appear to be running a PDC, is there a way to have a standalone samba server, and just get the user/password information from LDAP without doing

Hello Lads, Problem could be smbldap-tools, im using 0.97. I have manually set the sid on the bdc which seems to work. I am confused because I thought net rpc getsid stored the sid from the pdc on the bdc in secrets. I wasn't aware that net getlocalsid should return identical results on both pdc & bdc. Please explain this - why isnt the BDC obtaining the sid automatic as it should
