(in Computers and Users) Right click on user and click 'reset password' to set the password. I've noticed when creating users by uploading in LDAP data / using windows tools, they are disabled by default. From the linux side, they seem to be enabled by default. I was having trouble with the userPassword attribute working when transferred from a different LDAP server, so I would set one manually.

Reviewing the attributes of both accounts, I see nothing about them being "enabled" or "disabled." For the password I used "userPassword," specifically with a utf8 encoding, per a previous message: http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2009-April/147576.html&sa=U&ei=W_0GUejFMKKA0AGF6YDoBA&ved=0CBQQFjAA&usg=AFQjCNE1hAYmT1nKj6YcmtUJo7XqiqwagQ What did you do to set a password and enable the account? -- Pablo Virgo System Administrator Solutions for Progress, Inc. 728 South Broad Street Philadelphia, PA 19146 Phone: 215-701-8075 Fax: 215-972-8109 -- Pablo Virgo System Administrator Solutions for Progress, Inc. 728 South Broad Street Philadelphia, PA 19146 Phone: 215-701-8075 Fax: 215-972-8109 -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
