— ldapsam_compat : An LDAP storage and retrieval backend
utilizing an LDAP directory and is compatible with A.01.*
versions.This backend makes use of the same schema provided
with A.01.* versions.
You might also specify a combination of passdb backends. You can
specify alternative backends. For example, the working sequence
follows the smb.conf keyword sequence of authentication methods:

• Update A.01.* versions of the HP CIFS PDC and standalone servers
to continue to use LDAP or smbpasswd as currently used.
You can set the passdb backend parameter to ldapsam_compat for
the LDAP backend, or set it to smbpasswd for the smbpasswd
backend.
You can maintain member servers as domain member servers by
setting the security parameter to domain.

servers, see Chapter 6, “Domain Member Server Support” or Chapter
7, “Active Directory Service Native Member Server Support”, in the

outlined in Table 10-1, “Parameters Changes in smb.conf”, in the HP
