[Samba] Samba LDAP PDC help - can't login.

[George Farris]

I have followed the samba ldap pdc howto and am able to login and have
ldap authenticate shell accounts via the console and ssh.  However, when
I try to login via smbclient or a Windows 98 machine it won't
authenticate.  The ldap search actually ends up looking for a UID with
the domain included.  Log file shows thus:

daemon: conn=0 fd=9 connection from IP=127.0.0.1:1214 (IP=0.0.0.0:34049)
accepted.
conn=0 op=0 BIND dn="" method=128
ber_flush: 14 bytes to sd 9
deferring operation
conn=0 op=0 RESULT tag=97 err=0 text=
conn=0 op=1 SRCH base="dc=cc,dc=mala,dc=bc,dc=ca" scope=2
filter="(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=APOLLO\5CGEORGE))"
ber_flush: 14 bytes to sd 9
conn=0 op=1 SEARCH RESULT tag=101 err=0 text=

Shouldn't the objectClass be sambaAccount not posixAccount?
Shouldn't the uid = george and not apollo\5cgeorge?

Apollo is the domain.

I actually tried to set the ldap filter in smb.conf like so:
ldap filter = "(&(uid=%u)(objectclass=sambaAccount))"
This didn't help.

Can anyone shed any light on what may be wrong?

A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.
