NOTE: Set passdb backend = ldapsam:ldaps://<fully qualitied name of NDS Server>
for SSL enabled LDAP. Set passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://<NDS server name > to disable
SSL support. If you choose to use the A.01.* versions of backward compatible LDAP account backend, set
the passwd backend = ldapsam_compat://ldaps:< ldap server name>, ldap ssl = yes
and ldap port = 636 in smb.conf to enable SSL support.
Configuration Options
• domain master: Set this parameter to yes in order for the HP CIFS Server to act as a PDC.
• domain logon: Set this parameter to yes to provide netlogon services.
• passdb backend: You must set this parameter to ldapsam_compat:ldap://<ldap server
name> if you want to use an old Samba subschema for the LDAP databases. If you attempt to use the
new subschema supported by HP CIFS Server A.02.01, you must set this parameter to
ldapsam:ldap://<ldap server name>.
• WINs support: Set this parameter to yes to confiure an HP CIFS Server as a WINs server.
