[Samba] samba ldap / password (smbpasswd)
hi i have set up samba as a pdc with ldap but i am having problems with passwords they do not seem to be taken from ldap instead i have to run smbpasswd username to allow a user to login. this directory will have around 800 users when complete and the ldap is also used for other authentication like to websites and other resources like jabber they all work fine it is only the windows login that needs smbpasswd. i have two accounts working the root and nobody accounts but none of the others do they have the samba scheme on ll accounts but this does not help. any ideas as to why or how i can find where the problem is the failed logins do not seem to be logged any where and the failure message for winodws is invalid username or password. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/samba-ldap---password-%28smbpasswd%29-tf1987486.html#a5454321 Sent from the Samba - General forum at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba

Have you set passdb backend in smb.conf? Might help to let the list know what version samba you're running, what your smb.conf is, etc. Regards, Doug -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
