i've got Samba3 running on SuSE 9.0 and eDir 8.7 as backend on a Sun. The eDir is indeed fully compatible with LDAP, you can e.g. do a 'ldapsearch' to test it.
Did you already extend your eDirectory with the samba schema ( and maybe also RFC 2307 'posixAccount / posixGroup' )?
Your smb.conf should include lines like these:
passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://dir-server, guest ldap admin dn = cn=proxy-user,ou=department,o=company,c=DE ldap suffix = ou=department,o=company,c=DE ldap group suffix = ou=Group # no SSL during testing - helps debugging ldap ssl = no ldap user suffix = ou=People
It is sometimes very helpful to capture the LDAP traffic ( port 389 ) with a network sniffer like Ethereal to analyze connection problems between samba and NDS.
I hope this helps !
regards, Ulf

I've got problem with Samba3 when I want to connect to eDirectory. The samba could not connect to the local eDirectory server. The Samba and the eDir can be found on the same Linux box which is a SusSe 9.1. The eDir and the Samba are working pretty good but cant see each other. Is it possible to connect from Samba 3 to Novell's eDirectory ? What are the syntaxes to these lines in smb.conf: ldap suffix ldap admin dn ldap port ldap server ldap ssl
because the basic LDAP sysntax (sample: ou=People,dc=muppet,dc=cs,dc=dixie,dc=edu) seems to be not working for the Novell's eDir. I don't know why, because the Novell said that the eDir is full LDAP compatible ! Anybody can help me ? Anyone tried to authenticate from Samba to eDir ? Where can I fiind docs on the Web or anywhere else connection with this problem ?
Thanx very much Csaba Hanga (Hungary)
