Authenticating to Samba with Fedora Directory Server backend: NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to setup a Samba network share with a Fedora Directory Server backend. This will be used primarily for Windows users to authenticate before accessing the share. I am using Fedora Core 10 and have all of the latest updates installed.

When I try to connect from a Windows machine, I am prompted for a username and password. I enter the username and password of the account I created in Fedora Directory Server in OU=People. The credentials are rejected. At the same time in the log file I see this:

[2009/02/24 16:50:16, 3] auth/auth_sam.c:check_sam_security(282)
check_sam_security: Couldn't find user 'Administrator' in passdb.
[2009/02/24 16:50:16, 2] auth/auth.c:check_ntlm_password(318)
check_ntlm_password: Authentication for user [Administrator] -> [Administrator] FAILED with error NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER

Administrator is the user I created in Fedora Directory Server. If I perform an ldapsearch it will find the user as uid: Administrator so I know it is able to be looked up in FDS. But I'm guessing that's not the problem.

Is their something I am missing?

Here is my smb.conf file:

[global]
workgroup = wrkgrp
netbios name = smbserver
security = user
load printers = No
default service = global
path = /home
available = No
encrypt passwords = yes
passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://localhost
passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd
unix password sync = yes
log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
log level = 3
max log size = 50
ldap suffix = dc=cv, dc=office
ldap user suffix = ou=people
ldap admin dn = cn=directory manager

[share]
#writeable = yes
#admin users = smbuser
path = /raid/share
#force user = root
#valid users = smbuser
public = no
guest ok = no
#available = yes

Any help would be greatly appreciated!! I've been working on this for a few weeks and it is starting to drive me crazy!
