HP CIFS Server 3.0i Administrator's Guide version A.02.03.03

to PDC configuration with the exception that you set both master browser and domain
master to no.
CIFS Server acting as an Active Directory Service (ADS) Member Server
ADS Member Servers use LDAP libriaries and Kerberos security to access ADS Domain
Controllers' authentication services. Therefore, LDAP-UX Integration and HP Kerberos Client
Library products are required. See Chapter 5 “Windows 2000/2003 Domains” for details.
Advance Server for UNIX/9000 (ASU) Servers
With LDAP integration, the centralized management of user data helps you to migrate ASU to
CIFS Server. ASU PDC servers can migrate users to /etc/passwd entries using the migration
help package available at http:// software.hp.com. The HP CIFS Server provides the
/opt/samba/bin/syncsmbpasswd tool to create entries in the smbpasswd file. With entries
in the /etc/passwd and smbpasswd files, you can consolidate both ASU users and UNIX users
in an LDAP directory using the migration scripts discussed later in this chapter.
Workgroup Model Networks
HP CIFS Servers configured with server mode security will attempt to authenticate Windows
users on the server specified. If LDAP is enabled, then authentication will fall back to the LDAP
server if the server mode authentication fails.HP CIFS Servers configured with share mode
security may replace smbpasswd with an LDAP directory server.HP CIFS Servers configured
with as stand-alone user mode servers may replace smbpasswd with an LDAP directory server.
UNIX User Authentication - /etc/passwd, NIS Migration
HP UNIX user authentication is required in addition to Samba (Windows) user authentication
for HP CIFS Server logon. You can consolidate Samba and UNIX users into a single LDAP
directory server database. However, the /etc/passwd file or NIS database files can continue
to be used for UNIX users if desired.You can use migration scripts provided by HP to migrate
the /etc/passwd file and NIS database files to the LDAP directory server. For more information
on the migration scripts, see “Migrating Your data to the Directory Server” .
