Your smbpasswd in the Samba code tree when built with LDAP support:

--with-ldap

and having the smb.conf global:

ldap passwd sync = yes


Now this is useful if you are storing an encrypted password in the
userPassword attribute of the user's LDAP entry.

smbpasswd will change all three passwords for you and you can use
ldap_bind() in PHP to perform authentication checking.
