I notice that in the LDAP the profiles are store in a network share. Is it possible to use a different samba server not setup as a PDC/BDC to share these profile. for an example maybe setup a little samba box on a remote site, that stores profiles and home dirs, but still auth against the PDC. wouldnt that help keep network traffic on the WAN down?

Obviously I am missing something and I don''t know what it is... I am following the instructions at http://rubyforge.org/docman/view.php/381/114/activeldap_rb.html and also here... http://wiki.rubyonrails.org/rails/pages/HowtoAuthenticateViaLdap my model looks exactly like this... class LdapUser < ActiveRecord::Base ldap_mapping :dnattr => ''uid'', :prefix

I would swear that I am tracking exactly the method used in Agile book...

I simply can''t figure this out. I have been reading and re-reading Agile book and wiki.rubyonrails.org - all sorts of validation methods and still, it doesn''t work.

I want to use select form elements to choose between boolean options. How can I have it default to true and still display the persisted value (either true or false) when editing an existing object? I guess booleans default to false by default so its not obvious how to recognize when it''s a real ''false'' that the user set or default false because the value was null.

This seems rather ugly. I am thinking that this needs to be in the model but I am looking to obtain the date for a tb test... >> @tb = Innoculation.find(:all, :conditions => ["personnel_id = 1 AND innoc_type = ''TB''"], :order => ''innoc_date DESC'') => [#<Innoculation:0xb77ed234 @attributes={"id"=>"1",

I think they are called tool tips... I have view code that looks like this... <%= link_to ''I'', :action => ''edit_innoculations'', :id => personnel %> Is there an option (I don''t see it in api) to have tool tips for a link_to ? Craig

I have an OpenLDAP backend, Samba knows how to talk to it, my Samba users are stored in LDAP and file shares work fine authenticating to the LDAP server. I tried executing smbldap-useradd -w server02 on the command-line and got the following error: failed to perform search; Can't contact LDAP server at /usr/lib/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.7/smbldap_tools.pm line 362, <DATA> line 283.

I have some nice forms done using stylesheets. I currently have them displaying on screen and the user could simply just print. This works when there is only one form (facility) to be viewed/printed. I have created the looping code necessary to print for all facilities but that doesn''t work for me because each page uses stylesheets with <div> that do absolute positioning and thus

because I am a grasshopper... Now that I can sort my ''list''...is there a logical way of not repeating myself to having essentially the same list view with multiple sorts? i.e. def list_cl # ordered by clients last name @placement_pages, @placements = paginate( :placements, :include => [:client], :order_by =>

We have had a Samba LDAP-PDC-BDC system setup for close to 3 months with about 60 computers in the domain. Earlier we had a power outage and about 30 computers no longer were able to log into the domain or authenticate. Some were NT Workstations and some were W2k. But not all NT or W2K workstations were affected. If we went to network neighborhood we would see the error message "

I have Samba PDC with an LDAP backend. I just realized that the users can reset their passwords to anything, a single character a space. Is there anyway to prevent this?

I am in a holding pattern while client decides upon changes and so I am working some things out internally so it seems to me that indexing frequently searched table fields might be useful. I am using postgres and via postgres, I have added an index to one of my tables whose index is the same name as the column name. The ''find'' screen I am using this to judge populates a number

I want to create table called roles and then populate it with some new records...This doesn''t work. Is there something I''m missing?

I have the text_field_with_auto_complete woking on my user DB using last_name. so looking for ''ivanoff'' works great, but I can''t find ''john''. Plus I like to have ''last_name, first_name'' show up in the dropdown. what I can''t figure out is how to concat first_name and last_name to make a name and use that to look it. working

Hi list. Maybe this could be off-topic but here I think many have used OpenLDAP to unify yours authentication needs, allowing an unique username and password for all the corporate applications. My doubt is, which rules do you use to split all the user levels so that one user could be allowed to access app A but isn't allowed to access app B (think this about many apps)? Have you been using

Hello We have successfully set up Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES4 and we are now trying to connect remote clients to connect to it. The problems we are having are as follows: a) If we set connect with telnet, we get the login prompt.

What does samba look for when a user trys to add a computer to the domain? I have tried everything I can think of. Putting the user in different groups, set the users primary group to different groups. Nothing has come of this. I have every else in samba working right now, except printers, but since I havent tried that, nor do I know how I can benefit from using samba for printing. Anyways any
