HP CIFS Server 3.0b Administrator's Guide version A.02.01.01

Updating HP CIFS Server A.01 to A.02

Updating HP CIFS Server A.01.* to A.02.*

Chapter 8180

— ldapsam_compat : An HP CIFS Server A.01.* version of

backward compatible LDAP account backend.

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:

passdb backend = smbpasswd tdbsam ldapsam ldapsam_compat

• 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

conserving the security = domain conﬁguration.

For more information on how to set up and conﬁgure domain member

servers, see “Domain Member Server” on page 85 or Chapter 5,

“Windows 2000/2003 Domains,” on page 103 as appropriate after you

have completed any PDC changes.

• Inspect smb.conf parameters and make required updates as

outlined in “Parameters Changes in smb.conf” on page 173.

• Start the HP CIFS Server daemons and verify the changes.

• Use pdbedit with options -i, -e, and -g to move from your

current database to your target. See SWAT help page for pdbedit.

If you use the LDAP backend, see Chapter 6, “LDAP Integration

Support,” on page 109, for detailed information.

• Update the passdb backend parameter in the smb.conf ﬁle to

reﬂect your target authentication backend.
