      We have also got the samba and sun's  ldap working. Now we are trying to get the  samba user getting authenticated by the SEAM. I would like to know if it is possible to use the PAM module pam_krb5 for the samba service, for a samba user to get authenticated by the SEAM server.
 
so the flow might be
windows client contacting samba server
Authorization:
sambaserver-> Sun's ldap
Authentication:
samba server-> pam_krb5_so -> SEAM server
 
we are now trying for the second step. we have compiled the samba server with pam support. In the pam.conf we have mentioned the service as "samba" . we would like to know if that is right because the samba server never contacts the  kerberos server for the  authenctication.
 
Thanx in advance

openldap libldap for Samba to talk to your LDAP server, your LDAP server can be any LDAP v3
compatible server in theory and does definately work with Sun Directory Server 5.x, simply
load the samba schema included with the Samba 3.x source code in your Sun LDAP config/schema
directory then follow the Samba how to instructions. I had no significant problems except where
the syntax of my smb.conf was wrong (for example do not put quotes around LDAP DN's etc.)

Dear aarumuga

I've been reading your questions in Samba mailing list about SMB & Sun LDAP. I'm working with a same project and I would like to know only if is it posible or have you achieved your goal to link samba and Sun LDAP?

Thanks in advance and excuse me for my english.

Best regards, 

Ramon Aznar
