[Samba] Samba LDAP passthrough authentication to another openLDAP

Thu Feb 16 06:10:21 MST 2012

Hi all,
I have a setup like this. Pls let me know if it's possible or not.

SAMBA + Local LDAP ---> SASLAUTHD --> Global LDAP
Desc:
I'd like to do Samba authentication to LDAP, passthrough to another
LDAP using SASL.

The current situation is:
SSH authentication from LDAP user to that Samba box works.
However, smb authentication doesn't work (yet).

This is what's shown in syslog when doing Samba authentication:

Let me know if you need anything else, or something to look for in syslog.
