[Samba] Delegation of control failure for any built-in Security Principals

[Sorin P.]

Yes I know that (Krb + SSH), but in this case, the keys are not for use by the SSH servers.They're used by the git server software which is able to retrieve them automatically from the "sshPublicKey" attribute in AD, and to populate the corresponding field for the user profile existent on the Git server.
But in order to do that, the users should be able to populate the field with their own public key, using a simple Python script which writes it there.
https://github.com/LasLabs/active-directory-tools/blob/master/ssh-keyman/ssh-keyman.py

Without delegating access through 'SELF', the users are not able to write the key value, and the script dies with this error:{'msgtype': 103, 'msgid': 4, 'result': 50, 'desc': 'Insufficient access', 'ctrls': [], 'info': '00002098: Object CN=Username,CN=Users,DC=domain,DC=org has no write property access\n'}

The schema was populated using these two LDIF files:
ssh_class.ldif------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
dn: CN=ldapPublicKey,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=org
changetype: add
objectClass: top

objectCategory: CN=Attribute-Schema,CN=Schema,CN=Configuration,DC=domain,DC=org

How can I overcome this problem? I really need to allow users to write their own sshPublicKey attribute.
Thanks a lot.Sorin

you do realise that properly setup, SSH will work with kerberos, without 
keys or passwords.

These Well Know SIDs do not have anything to map them to. If you must 
use keys, then surely the attribute is part of the uses AD object and as 
such should be owned by the user, who should have write permission.

As I said (in a round about way), I use kerberos instead of keys.
