[Samba] PGina & Samba

[Jay B Knotts]

I'm currently using pGina with LDAP for authentication.
For the purpose of bypassing Window's authentication.

It's been working very well.
The problem to overcome is the fact that LDAP authentication
is via "userPassword" field in ldap schema but Window's SMB/CIFS uses
The sambaNTPassword samba field for authentication. Bummer.

I've worked around this issue via Linux scripts but
pGina may have a plugin that addresses this issue directly.

Thanks for the reply.  That is exactly what I'm trying to do - bypass the Windows authentication.  I guess if you're able to get Samba/LDAP working and can't get Pgina to work, it might not be as easy as it seems (I'm still new to this and was impressed with myself when I got Samba working with a pretty simple configuration file!).  I just wished that Samba could bypass the Windows authentication.

Hey Paul,

We've been able to get Samba/LDAP working and are just now starting to play with PGina in order to someday bypass Windows authentication completely and use LDAP directly. I downloaded it a few weeks ago and wasn't able to login to LDAP during the configuration of the plugin. Let me know if you get something similar working.

Thanks,

Does anyone have any experience using PGina with Samba for a simple "single sign on" approach using Windows clients?  If so, I would love to know how it is working for you.  I tried posting here a bit ago for a way to do this ("single sign on") with samba only, but I didn't get any responses and therefore looked into other opportunities. 
 
Thanks.
 
Paul
