Hello Marcus,

I found out this information which may be useful in connecting linux clients
to the ebox domain;

I don't see much documentation on this, so I though I would write a quick
HOWTO to join a linux box (ubuntu in the case) to an ebox samba domain. This
is intended to be a rough draft, please feel free to add to it, perhaps we
can find a more appropriate place like the wiki soon.

SERVER (EBOX):

1.  Create a user with admin rights (Ex: admin)....remember the
password! [image:

2.  Enable Samba as PDC
3.   Gather the following info:

      Base dn:  dc=ebox
      Admin dn: cn=admin,dc=ebox
      Admin Pass: ebox2611130574  (This may vary...verify in
/etc/ldap/slapd.conf)
      Domain Name:  EBOX (Whatever you set it  to when you setup Samba as
PDC)
      Ebox Server IP/hostname:  192.168.1.1  (If you setup dns a *
hostname.domain* would be better but an IP will work)

Client (DESKTOP-PC):

1.  Install samba, ldap, etc...see ubuntu instructions:
     https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LDAPClientAuthentication

You can follow this link for a more detailed instructions :
