[clug] ldap/active directory

[Malcolm Bodger]

Hi Boris,
 
And, thanks to Steve too. And I guess to many more that will tell me I'm on the wrong list. I blame the samba web site and a late night last night.
 
Thanks,
Malcolm.

Hi Malcolm,

There is a pretty good guide here:
http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_%26_LDAP

Do-able, just make sure you map your windows user accounts to their unix (in your case LDAP) counter parts

And before other people here get too upset - this isn't a SAMBA list, rather this is just a general linux user group. You want samba at lists.samba.org

Cheers,
Boris

	Hi,
	 
	I'm new to this list, so this is my first email.
	 
	I've installed Samba on a Ubuntu server and I want to share a file system, but  I need users to authenticate to access the shared file system.
	My Ubuntu server is configured to accept user logins authenticating to our LDAP server, so I thought this would be easy - how wrong can one be.
	So, can anyone tell me how to get samba to authenticate users to ldap, without making changes to the ldap server?
	Or, would it be easier to user Active Directory?
	 
	Thanks,
	Malcolm.
