[Samba] Samba 3.4.7 can't retrieve idmap infor from ldap

[Ayman Tahboub]

hiya,

that sound as reasonable  to me, perhaps due to the while space

it might be safer to quote the entry,,

on the other side what are you seeing under the Access and Errors logs for 
DS?

are you seeing the actual bind coming in?

on the FC machine I presume you are running over proxyagent?

hope it helps

I tried with and without the double quotes.

the following commands do work in linux  (it will prompt me for the pw.)

     ldapserach -D "cn=Directory Manager" -b "" objectclass=*  -x -W
     ldapsearch -D "cn=admin,cn=Administrators,cn=config" -h spooky -b
""  -x -W

Not sure in smb.conf whether I should ever quote the ldap_user_dn
parameter.  Maybe it should be quoted if it is an absolute vs relative
entry?
