Setting Up CIFS Server (Samba) In an LDAP Environment

Setting Up CIFS Server (Samba) in an LDAP Environment

Part two: Setting up ldapux client.

Install J4269AA LDAP-UX Integration product on the

server you will be using CIFS Server on.

This needs to be version B.03.20 or greater (only this version and later contains the

ldap-ux sdk needed by CIFS Server)

You can obtain this from

http://software.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=J4269

Configure you ldapux client:

cd /opt/ldpaux/config

./setup

For example:

Directory Server: [1]: (Netscape Directory)

Directory server host [rkm-nt.alf.cpqcorp.net = 16.113.9.137]:

Directory Server port number [389]:

Would you like to extend the schema in this directory server? [Yes]:

Would you like to extend the printer schema in this directory server? [Yes]: NO

User DN [cn=Directory Manager]:

Password: yourchoice (same as you entered when you setup Netscape DS)

Profile Entry DN: []: cn=ldapuxprofile,dc=alf,dc=cpqcorp,dc=net

User DN [cn=Directory Manager]: (this is to add the profile you are creating)

Password: yourchoice

Authentication method: [1]: (if you change this, you will have to read up on ssl/tls

communication)

Enter the number of hosts you want to specify [0]: (leave at zero, for a single

Netscape DS lookup)

Default base DN [dc=alf,dc=cpqcorp,dc=net]:

Accept remaining defaults? (y/n [y]:

Are you ready to create the Profile Entry? [Yes]:

You will then get messages indicating that you have ‘created/changed the

configuration’

And it will then ask if you want to start/restart the LDAP-UX daemon. Respond

yes.

This will set up you client to:

-talk to a Netscape/Iplanet DS server rather than a Win2k one

-use your hostname=ip address as the address of the directory server where you want to

store your ldap-ux profile; if you have Netscape DS running on a different server, this will

need to change, obviously.

-use port 389 as the port to connect to the DS service on the previous ipaddress.

(note: make sure that the slapd daemon is up and running on whatever ip address you

give!)
