Setting Up CIFS Server (Samba) In an LDAP Environment

Setting Up CIFS Server (Samba) in an LDAP Environment

Part Three: Extending the schema for CIFS

Server

Install a version of CIFS Server with LDAP enabled

Download the free CIFS Server version A.01.11.01 or later from

http://software.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=B8725AA

Extend the schema with the sambaAccount subschema

cd /opt/samba/LDAP

ftp yournetscapeds-server

user root

password xxxxx

cd /var/opt/netscape/servers/slapd-<yourservername>/config/schema

bin

put 98samba.ldif 98samba.ldif

quit

You will need to login to your Netscape DS server and restart slapd for these extensions to

be recognized:

/var/opt/netscape/servers/slapd-<yourservername>/restart-slapd

You should also restart your ldapux client on the system that CIFS Server will be running on:

/opt/ldapux/bin/ldapclientd –r

You can also extend the schema online, without the need to shutdown and restart

the ldap server or client by using the following command:

ldapmodify -D <Directory Manager DN> -w <Password> -h <Hostname> -p <Port> -f

For instance:

cd /opt/ldapux/bin

./ldapmodify -D "cn=Directory Manager" -w ldapldap -h rkm-nt -p 389 -f

/opt/samba/LDAP/98samba.ldif
