If your Samba server is a fully operational domain member server, then the behavior you are experiencing should not be occurring. Period.

Take a close look at your samba server logs. My bet is that the domain join failed or stopped working. Even if you were using "security = server" (which isn't supported for ClearCase, but some people have a managed to get it working for a while) you shouldn't see this behavior since it is the Domain/server password that should be used.

Small question: Why aren't you using "password server = *"?

We have ClearCase database on unix and users on windows.
We are creating Unix users locally on that Clearcase server. Samba is also installed on that server.

User windows machines are part of domain. Groups,usres are created on domain and same users,groups are created on unix server.

Now problem is occuring when a windows user is changing the password for his domain login. as soon as user is changing the password user will be unable to access the samba share i.e clearcase vobs. So when user changes the domain login password we have to manully change samba password for that user by running

smbpasswd <userbname>.

Could you please guide me on how to achieve or any configuration need to done on samba and on unix server so that I need not have to change password manully for every user when user changes his/her windows domian login password.

My samba config fiel is as below

# Samba config file created using SWAT


# Global parameters
[global]
        workgroup = RIC_F2K
        netbios name = DEVVM
        interfaces = devvm
        security = DOMAIN
        encrypt passwords = Yes
        password server = 10.8.54.120
        username map = /usr/local/samba/private/username.map
        #username map = /usr/local/samba/lib/username.map
        log file = /var/opt/samba/logs/log.%m
        os level = 0
        kernel oplocks = No
        create mask = 0775
        directory mask = 0775
        oplocks = No
        time offset = 30
#       time offset = 630
#       time server = yes
#[smbshare]
#       comment = Share Folder of devvm Server
#       path = /var/smbshare
