I am not quite sure what you mean by browse in LDAP? Are you using the
linux gui environment to connect to shares in windows? If you type in your
user name and password when prompted, are your credentials accepted?
Can you use smb client to connect to to windows shares?
I think the problem is that when you log into linux with your "unix"
password, the samba client does not have a way of "remembering" this
password. I have not tried using linux clients myself to connect to
windows shares. If you use the "smb_pam" module you may be able to have
do your Windows authentication handled at the same time. But I don't know.
I think smb_pam is for using your "windows" password to log into linux. I
don't think smbclient will remember the password.

Just to clarify-

you have logged in to a linux system successfully and you are now trying
to browse Windows systems?
Have the windows machines joined the domain?
Have you set a "windows" password for your account? The windows and unix
passwords are both stored in LDAP BUT they are different fields.

Hi Gaiseric Vandal,
Thanks for your quick response.
I have clicked "create Home directory" in Authentication tab.
Now I am able to login to Linux client.
But whenever I browse a windows system in LDAP, it is again asking for
credentials (user name and password).
In fact, it should take the credentials from LDAP.
Please suggest.
Thanks in advance for your valuable inputs in this regard.
Regards
S.M.Kamal.

What is your client machine? This sounds like a Linux client error.
LDAP autofs tables point to a "home" directory that is not valid.
If your home dir is not mounted in linux of course you will get errors about
files in home missing.
possible causes
- typo in ldap autofs table
- home directory does not exist OR is not shared (nfs server issue)
- ldap/autofs configuration on linux client is in correct.
Log in to your linux workstation as root. (maybe from a console rather than
gui session.) Type "su yourname" (not "su - yourname") then see if "cd
/net/server//path_to_home_directories//yourname" is valid- if it is then
autofs is working.
Autofs on linux may require that an ldap proxy account account exists on the
ldap server (account info stored on client in /etc/ldap.conf and
/etc/ldap.secret.)

Hi all,
I had been trying to log in from my client machine in to the ldap+samba3.3
server machine, but i could not log on to the ldap+samba3.3 server machine
successfully. Everytime i tried to log on, it popped-up with three dialog
boxes one after another showing the messages as shown below inlcuded in
double quotes:
The first pop-up dialog box displayed the following messages in it:-
"Your home directory is listed as :'home/xxxx' but it does not appear to
exist. Do you want to log in with the / (root) directory...... " with YES
and NO buttons.
After clicking on the YES button, the second pop-up window displayed the
following messages:-"User's $HOME/.dmrc file is being ignored. This prevents
the default session and language from being saved. File should be owned by
user and have 644 permissions...."
After clicking on the OK button, the third box has shown the following lines
:- \
"Your session only lasted less than 10 seconds. If you have not logged out
yourself, this could mean some installtion problem or that you may be out of
disk space. Try logging in with one of the failsafe sessions to see if you
can fix this problem." It had also a check box associated with a combo box
with a many messages as listed below:
The chk box was ticked and had a label displaying "View Details
(~/.session-errors file).
Can any body let me know, how tom resolve these issues of permission denied
?
Pleasss help me in this
