similar to: smb + ldap: changing passwords from windows: SSHA instead of CRYPT

This weekend, we're replacing a customer's Windows 2003 server with a Samba box. They lost their Windows media and we can't reset the administrator password, so we can't even login to the server to examine it. The best we can do is to boot Knoppix and copy the filesystem onto an external USB drive, to recover their files. We're not sure how we will recover their Exchange mail

We are in the point of change our samba 3.0.5 PDC setup in order to make it authenticate its users against openldap 2.3.11. We already have the openldap server working with all the PDC users data and we also have already tested the wanted scenario using an identical PDC setuped up with the same SID and its netbios name changed and some PCs for testing as domain clients (we outsourced this

In the headquarter of my Institution we have some 300 windows PCs, distributed like this: domain1: 100 clients in a consolidated samba 3.0.5-2 domain (RH 9.0) domain2: 20 clients in an incipient samba 3.0.14a-2 domain (FC4) 80 clients to be joined to domain2 without domain: 150 clients beloging to some three workgroups We outsourced the deployment of a LDAP server and we are in the

I installed samba4wins on two of my Fedora Core 3 servers (from src rpm), on one PDC (samba 3.0.21c) and on one standalone server without samba, in order to test samba4wins. I think I managed to install and to setup properly the software but it seems nmblookup is not working on the PDC samba: [user]$ nmblookup '*' querying * on 192.168.19.255 name_query failed to find name *

Could somebody please tell me how can I know what computers of one local network are setuped up as master browsers for a local workgroup? I mean, is it possible to use nmblookup or other command for this? what parameters are needed? I'm having problems with a workgroup for which smbclient -L server gives different results every certain time, e.g. from one week to another the results

We are considering to update our Samba 3.0.5 PDC to 3.0.21 using samba-3.0.21b-1.i386.rpm, and rpm -Uvh --test works. Whe have openldap 2.3.11 as passwd backend with samba.schema taken from samba-3.0.14 but reading the docs (Samba-3 to Samba-3 Updates on the Same Server) it states: "it is necessary only to update the LDAP schema". How the LDAP schema updated and the ldap databases

My samba PDC is working very well. I only have an 'theoretical' question (I think). When I run 'net getlocalsid my-pdc', it fails (see below). I think this is because someday the name of my pdc was other! In fact 'net getlocalsid my-old-pdc-name' works! and that output is the same output obtained from running 'net getlocalsid my-domain' (as written on the

I installed a PDC some days ago for some 15 users/PCs (w98,2000,xp), with samba 3.0.23b-1 and valid users wasn't working. I'm going to update to 3.0.23c which solves that problem. I'm using smbpasswd passdb backend. In /etc/group I have only two groups. I don't understand very well the changes related to primaryGroupSID and RID commented in previous posts. Please, is it

On my RH9 server, I upgraded samba the original samba version to the newest 3.0.21c-1 version using the binary RPM's available from the website. First I uninstalled the old rpm then I installed the new one. I have a few problems starting and stopping the daemons by /etc/init.s/smb 1) When I run /etc/init.d/smb stop , it gives me the message Shutting down SMB services: /etc/init.d/smb: line

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:

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

Hello! Accidentally deletes the file daemon, / usr / lib / samba / classic / smbd. Now I can not start Samba, Samba reinstalling again in the newer version I would lose my settings? It will overwrite existing files or just bring back the excluded? I use a distribution derived from Suse, when I try to install the yast he asks that some libraries are installed: *libstdc + + **libstdc + +-devel

We have samba 3.0.21c + openldap working ok. Some weeks ago I got this answer (http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=samba&m=113164752004902&w=2) to my question about whether it's better to have one or multiple windows domains, in favor of having only one domain. Now, we're gonna put into production a NAS box (one Windows Storage Server) for our main domain and for our whole

I was trying to join a windows xp machine to a new domain's PDC setuped with samba 3.0.23c and openldap 2.3.11 as backend but I noted that only the posix acount part is created, not the sambaSamAccount: [root]# pdbedit -a -m -u sistemas-33$ -d10 -- snip -- error: Object class violation (object class 'sambaSamAccount' requires attribute 'sambaSID') -- snip -- I understand

Poking around in the code for dovecot-stable seems to indicate that support has been added for the {SSHA} password scheme. This is not reflected in dovecot-ldap.conf. Is the SSHA code actually functional? Thanks! -Ben

I have four domains in my LAN. I set up trust relationships for the domains, having each PDC working as wins server for each domain but I hd not set up winbind. I have samba3-3.3.12 + ldap (openldap 2.4.21) as users backend. I mean, I have wins support = yes for each PDC, and I can access to the shared folders of each PDC from any windows computer from my LAN. The problem is accessing to

Is it possible to take a SSHA password from an ldif and create a proper sambaNTpassword from it? Here's the scenario: the ldap servers in our organization do not have the samba schema installed and the likelihood of that happening is slim. I still want to provide clients with as close to a single sign on solution as possible and I can get an ldif of the accounts I need. However, the

Hi there, I was wondering if someone could explain how dovecot/dovecotpw produces salt for use in ssha passwords, I'd like to replicate this in PHP so I can write my passwords from php in ssha instead of just sha1. Thanks in advance, Andrea Baitis

hello guys, I'm working on a federal university at Brasil, we already have an openLdap with all users and this base is used to authenticate several services like email, vpn, wireless (RADIUS), and we have also Shibboleth providing SSO. During my studies of Asterisk, i see a lot of people talking about the incapacity of asterisk (more precisely because of SIP) to authenticate against a

Hello, I've the following goal to reach : modify the attribute userPassword via a Java method in a Samba LDAP tree. I successfully changed the SSHA password in the LDAP. But I can't open a session with this new password. It seems, that sambaNTPassword et sambaLMPassword must be changed too ... but i don't know how to do it ... Any idea ? Regards -- Herv?
