Samba PDC + samba BDC + ldap backend

Asked by blowfly in Samba File Server

Tags: Samba, 3

Hello,

I have another samba related question.I have setup a box with Debian etch, it is currently by PDC with a backend of ldap. Both the ldap directory and samba is installed on this box.

I setup another box, which will act as my BDC, this box will also host file shares for the rest of the network.  I have setup samba as a BDC and have it linked to the ldap directory which is hosted on my PDC.  On my BDC I ran the command "net groupmap list". ALl the groups which are in the directory appear. So I am assuming that my BDC is reading the directory fine. When i browse to a directory from windows, which my BDC is hosting, i get prompted for my credentials. I enter the correct credentials as they are in the directory, and it says that my username and password is wrong. Can someone tell me why this is? Do I have to configure nsswitch.conf file and tell it to use ldap?

What other configurations do I need to do?Start Free Trial
