Configure the HP CIFS Server as a BDC
When configuring HP CIFS Server to act as a Backup Domain Controller
(BDC), you need to configure the relative domain controller parameters
in the /etc/opt/samba/smb.conf file by using the SWAT tool or an
editor. The smb.conf file is shown as follows:
• The smb.conf file is as shown if the HP CIFS Server acting as a
BDC does not use the LDAP backend:
[global]
workgroup = SAMBADOM #Samba Domain
security = user
domain logon = yes
domain master = no
encrypt passwords = yes
security = user
[netlogon]
comment = The domain logon service
path = /var/opt/samba/netlogon
writeable = no
guest ok = no
• The smb.conf file is as shown if the HP CIFS Server acting as a
BDC uses the LDAP backend to store UNIX and Samba account
databases:
[global]
workgroup = SAMBADOM #Samba Domain
security = user
domain logon = yes
domain master = no
encrypt passwords = yes
passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://ldapserver:389
• When you configure the relative domain controller parameters,
ensure that the /var/opt/samba/netlogon subdirectory for the
domain logon service exists.
