LDAP Integration Support

Extending the Samba Subschema into Your Directory Server

Chapter 6 137

Extending the Samba Subschema into Your

Directory Server

You now need to extend the Netscape Directory Server schema with the

Samba subschema from the HP CIFS Server into your Netscape

Directory Server. Ensure that you have conﬁgured your LDAP directory

and LDAP-UX Client Services, and migrated your data to the LDAP

directory before extending the schema.

The Samba subschema has been enhanced in HP CIFS Server A.02.*. If

you use the LDAP backend, you must choose between continuing with

the schema in versions A.01.* or using an updated schema in versions

A.02.*. To select the schema you use, set the parameter in smb.conf as

follows:

• To use the updated schema in versions A.02.*, set the passwd

backend parameter to ldapsam:ldap://<ldap server name>.

• To use the schema in versions A.01.* , set the passwd backend

parameter to ldapsam_compat:ldap://<ldap server name>.
