Figure 9-4 Samba Domain
The Samba Domain Deployment Model consists of a HP CIFS Server
configured as a Primary Domain Controller (PDC), and one or more HP
CIFS Servers acting as Backup Domain Controllers (BDCs). The PDC,
BDCs, and member servers use the central LDAP backend to consolidate
POSIX and Windows accounts on the LDAP directory. It requires HP
LDAP-UX Client Services software installed and configured on HP CIFS
Servers for larger deployments.
