[Samba] Samba PDC LDAP and LDAP Aliases

[Ivo Steinmann]

Hello all

I've got a problem with unresolved (at least I guess that) LDAP Aliases
and Samba. That's my LDAP Setup:

ou=alvhaus,ou=ch  { base }
ou=People,ou=alvhaus,ou=ch { posix and samba accounts }
ou=Group,ou=alvhaus,ou=ch { posix and samba groups }
ou=Samba,ou=alvhaus,ou=ch { samba base dn }
ou=Idmap,ou=Samba,ou=alvhaus,ou=ch
ou=Machines,ou=Samba,ou=alvhaus,ou=ch
ou=PeopleAlias,ou=Samba,ou=alvhaus,ou=ch { that's an alias to
ou=People,ou=alvhaus,ou=ch }
ou=GroupAlias,ou=Samba,ou=alvhaus,ou=ch { that's an alias to
ou=Group,ou=alvhaus,ou=ch }


ldapsearch -h MYHOST -D "uid=Account Admin,ou=System
Accounts,dc=alvhaus,dc=ch" -W -b "ou=Samba,dc=alvhaus,dc=ch" -a search
-s one
The output of ldapsearch is right! The aliases are correctly resolved
(controled by the "-a search" parameter)

# People, alvhaus.ch
dn: ou=People,dc=alvhaus,dc=ch
objectClass: organizationalUnit
ou: People

# Group, alvhaus.ch
dn: ou=Group,dc=alvhaus,dc=ch
objectClass: organizationalUnit
ou: Group

# Idmap, Samba, alvhaus.ch
dn: ou=Idmap,ou=Samba,dc=alvhaus,dc=ch
objectClass: organizationalUnit
ou: Idmap

# Machines, Samba, alvhaus.ch
dn: ou=Machines,ou=Samba,dc=alvhaus,dc=ch
objectClass: organizationalUnit
ou: Machines

# FILESERV, Samba, alvhaus.ch
dn: sambaDomainName=FILESERV,ou=Samba,dc=alvhaus,dc=ch
sambaAlgorithmicRidBase: 1000
objectClass: sambaDomain
....... more

My smb.conf

        ldap admin dn = uid=Account Admin,ou=System
Accounts,dc=alvhaus,dc=ch
        ldap group suffix = ou=Group
        ldap idmap suffix = ou=Idmap
        ldap machine suffix = ou=Machines
        ldap passwd sync = yes
        ldap suffix = ou=Samba,dc=alvhaus,dc=ch
        ldap ssl = no
        ldap user suffix = ou=People

For me it looks right! And it's also working, if People and Group aren't
aliased. So I guess samba pdc is not resolving aliases.
