Thread: LDAP and Samba


i trying set windows domain using samba 3 (i don't need require active directory). have gotten sambe need pdc, suspect i'll need backup domain servers in remote locations things work acceptable. this, can tell, done ldap, replicate domain records automatically.

cannot figure out how ldap work. have found number of howtos, , every 1 gets me point fails. relevant 1 seems https://help.ubuntu.com/11.10/server...ap-server.html (which version of ubuntu i'm working with). but, says "during install prompted define administrative credentials." did not happen, , when "ldapsearch -x -lll -h ldap:/// -b dc=example,dc=com dn", "no such record."

missing?

not sure related, on unix, ldap stuff case sensitive.
simlar samba, domain, workgroup , netbios computer names need in uppercase work.
not ldap guru, has caught me out several times in past.

if have windows pc,softerra's free ldap browser tool troubleshooting these problems.
