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.
Samba Domain Components
As demand requires multiple servers, this model makes use of a directory server and LDAP access. You must
install and configure LDAP-UX Client Services software on all nodes for centralization of both POSIX and
