[Samba] How do I get Winbind accounts in LDAP?

[ww m-pubsyssamba]

Hi Sapan/All,

	ok this is all in my test/dev environment. I have a Sun Sparc workstation running Solaris 9 and an Intel server running Windows 2000 server acting as a Native mode AD DC. My Sparc system has Samba 3.0.1 installed and is successfully joined to the AD domain, I can authenticate via kerberos and wbinfo -u lists domain users etc. All I need LDAP for is centralising the IDMAP mappings across our theoretical Samba server infrastructure. 

  On the same sparc system I also have SunONE DS 5.2 installed, this has the schema for Samba 3.0.1 successfully loaded. I have created the idamap OU in the directory and I have configured my smb.conf to use LDAP for idmap data, file attached. And I have set the LDAP admin account password with "smbpasswd -w". I have also disabled nscd from starting up & installed patch 113476-05 which is required for Solaris 9. I can also see winbindd establishing a connection to Sun LDAP in its access log.

  As I was writing this mail I have noticed that a getent for users and groups is not displaying any AD users/groups but is exiting with a status 0, this is despite the fact that wbinfo is correctly displaying all my AD users/groups!? I can see from a snoop and truss run on the getent that it is making LDAP calls to the AD DC but it's not returning anything!?! I have had this running on a Solaris 8 system in my test environment successfully and can't think of anything I've done differently.

If anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it,

	many thanks Andy.

Andy,

Tell us a bit more, I'm doing a similar thing I think.  I'm not using Sun's
LDAP service, I have OpenLDAP running on a Redhat 9.0 box and I'm logging
into my Solaris 9.0 machine running winbind, with my NT username and
password which creates an idmap in the openldap database on the Redhat
box....well, that's what it is supposed to do anyway...it works fine on
Redhat, Solaris is proving to be a little more tricky.

Is this what you are doing?

Hi John/List,

	I'm attemtpting this (idmap in LDAP) with samba3.0.1 and Sun DS 5.2
but without any success. I've tried what John T has suggested below but my
idmap OU is still empty (adapted LDAP commnads for Sun DS). I cannot see any
errors in either Samba or Sun DS logs, does anyone have any troubleshooting
tips to help work out why this isn't working?

		many thanks Andy.

Kent,

Did you create the container for the ou=Idmap in your LDAP database? The
IDMAP entries are automatically added to LDAP - IF the container exists, and
so long as Samba can access that database.

Also, I suggest you store your machine accounts in the Users container and
not in the Computers container. Samba does not at this time search the
Computers container correctly.

Execute the following to find out if your LDAP database has an IDMAP
container:
	slapcat | grep -i IDMAP


If nothing is returned, execute this:

ldapadd -x -D "cn=admin,dc=tow,dc=net" -w 'password' << EOR
dn: ou=Idmap,dc=abmas,dc=biz
objectClass: organizationalunit
ou: idmap
structuralObjectClass: organizationalunit
EOR

Now you must stop samba, delete the winbind*tdb files, restart samba,
run:
	wbinfo -u
And that should automatically populate your LDAP IDMAP database.

Cheers,
John T.
