Having issues with not being able to bind with my openldap server...

Any suggestions as to folks who have written fairly concise how-tos'? Much of what I've found so far is pretty vague. Also if moving to AD DC model, strategies for syncing with OpenLDAP... (Not to stir up old wounds, but the idea of multiple credential sources makes me very ill) Thanks, -Jeff -- Jefferson K Davis Technology and Information Systems Manager Standard School

So, I have a test domain set up with rfc2307 = yes . Now I'm trying to figure out if a) my nfs automount data came over from OpenLDAP, and b) if not, how to get it into samba 4's ldap, or something else??? Do I need to rethink my approach? Mount locations are pretty consistent based on primary group/userid Needs to work on Linux. Existing entries look like this... # /u,

Before I start beating my head against the wall, is there a howto someplace for joining a Samba4 member or BDC to a samba3 domain? Am I going about this all wrong? I most likely will update the PDC to samba 4 next summer due to the amount of automation we have to modify that leverages OpenLDAP. The LDAP server that comes with Samba4 seems kinda limited by comparison. In the meantime, cannot

Dear all, I have a few question regarding to DNS and upgrading from Samba 4.1.17 to 4.4.2. After reading about the Badlock Bug, I feel the urge to upgrade my Samba installation and to move from BIND9_FLATFILE to SAMBA_INTERNAL_DNS. I am using Samba version 4.1.17. During provisioning (some years ago) I have decided to use BIND9_FLATFILE. At this moment I would like to upgrade to Samba 4.4.2 and

Ok, I've tried all the "common" fixes, such as turning oplocks off on the share. Twice a day the database has to be repaired. running samba-3.0.7-2.FC2 Here's the pertinent section: comment = Aeries path = /home/aeries valid users = @aeries read only = No create mask = 0770 directory mask = 0770 inherit permissions = Yes

Been tearing my hair out trying to find out if redirecting my user's automounted home folder is killing offline files availability. We are just now migrating our windows users to win7 (school, limited funding), and while I've got folder redirection working, I also need to make sure offline files work as well for my mobile users. What smb.conf settings are required that will fix this

The init scripts do not seem to have the chkconfig parameters... I need to start samba before autofs or it cannot provide the mounts from LDAP... Not currently an upstart job, so cannot make autofs wait for samba. Or maybe more to the point I don't know how ;) Thanks, -Jeff -- Jefferson K Davis Technology and Information Systems Manager Standard School District 1200 North

openssl "blesses" my cert chain, but samba has an issue with it. TLS failed to initialise certfile /var/lib/samba/private/tls/standard.k12.ca.us.crt and keyfile /var/lib/samba/private/tls/standard.k12.ca.us.key - ASN1 parser: Error in DER parsing. openssl verify -CAfile gd_bundle.crt standard.k12.ca.us.crt standard.k12.ca.us.crt: OK Anyone know where I went wrong? incorrect cert

Most of what I've found involves installing from source, which I'm not opposed to for a pilot install but for production I would rather use the distro packages or sernet. Or is this nuts/shortighted/ignorant? At any rate, I'm looking for a good guide for getting it set up as an AD controller, and then migrating my existing samba3+openLDAP+autofs setup to the new platform. Having

So, I managed to get an ad controller running, but cannot seem to get it to forward dns queries to my DNS server. It resolves it's own SRV records just fine. upstream bind is 9.2 AD controller is the same DNS domain as the rest of my network (could this be the issue?) using SAMBA_INTERNAL on the AD controller. It's like I can either resolve my AD controllers SRV records or the

Hi all, I got some issues with adding DNS records. I still use BIND9_FLATFILE on my first DC. Maybe this is the problem? What I would like to try is to change from BIND9_FLATFILE to BIND9_DLZ. I change the backend from BIND9_FLATFILE to BIND9_DLZ twice (in the past or other servers) but I don't remember how I did this anymore! What I did try is the following... and that didn't work. I

Ok, I'm going kinda nuts... I have a samba 3 + openldap domain, which works great for authentication, etc. I am trying to use the NTConfig.POL to enforce policies on a mix of 98/win2k and XP boxes. This is a K12 environment, so I need very restrictive policies for students, less so for teachers and staff. What seems to be happening, at least with the XP clients is that it gets the

Hi, I'm trying to avoid re-inventing the wheel here if I can. I'm looking for a script or set of scripts that allow me to create a bunch of samba 3.X/posix users and their corresponding LDAP entries from a delimited text file or something similar. If it's web-based, so much the better, esp if some of the functions can be delegated (with reduced permissions) for specified groups

Hi, I need to mass-update my users in openldap so that their passwords don't expire (school teachers). Anyone have any ideas about what the best process would be for accomplishing this?

Hi, I'm still running samba4 beta5 with dns-backend=BIND9_FLATFILE I want to upgrade to samba4 rc5. Can I still use BIND9_FLATFILE ? Best regards, Bruno Fernandes

Hello, I'm attempting to switch from the internal DNS to Bind. This is for my Samba test environment on a VM running Samba 4.3.1 on Ubuntu server 12.04.1.

Rowland, Thanks for the reply. I believe you're right. It appears the zone information is retrieved from '/usr/local/samba/private/named.conf'? Correct? I notice I do not have 'named.conf'. I have 'named.conf.update'. On 12/16/2014 9:21 AM, Rowland Penny wrote: > On 16/12/14 13:54, James wrote: >> Hello, >> >> Looking to switch to Bind.

Hello guys, It is possible to work with the "dns-backend = SAMBA_INTERNAL" in Samba4 NT4 style? I followed the link below, but there was some errors. https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Changing_the_DNS_backend Errors: *# samba_upgradedns --dns-backend=SAMBA_INTERNAL* *lpcfg_load: refreshing parameters from /etc/samba/smb.conf* *params.c:pm_process() - Processing configuration file
