System: Sid ; Samba 3.0.0 ; using tdbsam ; no problems
Goal: Would like to move password, group, and user data to ldap backend.
Problem: I've read Samba-HOWTO-Collection.pdf and don't see exactly how
to do this as the Howto addresses primarily the password backend.
What I've done so far:
1) Created the openldap bdb and the dc=domain,dc=com base and the admin
with password.
2) Run the command, smbpasswd -w <password>
QUESTION: What user is this going use and how to set?
3) Created the openldap ou=domainUsers, ou=domainGroups, and
ou=domainComputers
QUESTION: How do I export my data to and ldif file or directly to the
dbd and how will know what my dbd tree structure is?
4) I have run the command, pdbedit -i ldapsam:ldap://domain.com but and
get credential error (relates to 2 above).
QUESTION: In order to use group data in backend, do I need nis_ldap,
pam_ldap?
Any help appreciated,
Thanks,
Craig Jackson
