Re: [Samba] Samba+LDAP - so close yet so far :) ...STILL NOT SOLVED

[Paul Gienger]

I have one big question, which one do I
put in '/etc/ldap.conf'
nss_base_passwd dc=wbcoll,dc=edu?one
nss_base_shadow dc=wbcoll,dc=edu?one
nss_base_group  ou=Groups,dc=wbcoll,dc=edu?one
or
nss_base_passwd        ou=Users,dc=wbcoll,dc=edu?one
nss_base_shadow        ou=Users,dc=wbcoll,dc=edu?one
nss_base_group         ou=Groups,dc=wbcoll,dc=edu?one
 

The second.  The first one won't let the system do authentication and 
user lookups.  If you were to put
dc=blah?sub

things would work but you'd really shoot your performance in the foot 
since you'd be searching the entire ldap tree for user data.  Every time 
you do a file lookup or something similar you'd have to query the entire 
tree and any subobjects, taking nscd out of the equation of course.

I am not really using "ldap ssl = start tls" yet. I
will get to that part after I get the rest of the
stuff working. 
 

A very good plan.  Too many people try to layer on protocols and 
confusion before they get the underlying systems working.
