Setting Up CIFS Server (Samba) In an LDAP Environment

Setting Up CIFS Server (Samba) in an LDAP Environment
13
Save your ldap credentials for the user that will be modifying the ldap directory for CIFS
Server:
smbpasswd -w <Directory Manager password>
Adding your CIFS Server users to the LDAP directory
NOW populate your netscape directory with your CIFS Server users:
If you already have an smbpasswd file, you can import this into your ldap directory as follows:
cat /var/opt/samba/private/smbpasswd |
/opt/samba/LDAP/import_smbpasswd.pl
Otherwise, you can add users individually in the following manner:
/opt/samba/LDAP/smbldap-tools/smbldap-useradd.pl –S –w <ldap passwd> -a
username
verify that this step worked:
./smbldap-usershow.pl –S –w <directory manager passwd> username
For instance to look up a user named ‘ddmc’ that was previously added:
# ./smbldap-usershow.pl -S -w expert88 ddmc
dn: uid=ddmc,ou=People,dc=alf,dc=cpqcorp,dc=net
