Hello all, SLES9 Apache 2.0.54 Samba 3.0.9-2.6-SUSE PAM 0.77
I have been using Linux for a while on the side, and am now taking advantage of my position to try to implement a test server. I am the technical product and network lead in my department with a higher MIS group that dictates global network access. They do not want to change any of the existing ADS network to accomodate my small Linux setup, so I am not able to setup LDAP for authentication (they won't provide the ADS LDAP address or attributes). I am trying to setup a web server to allow access to some applications I am hosting (Subversion, ViewCVS) on this server, and want the users to be able to authenticate to their ADS accounts. To get there, I have set up winbind using pam_winbind and in Apache, mod_auth_pam.
I have Samba authenticating to a medium-sized Windows 2000 Active Directory domain (approx 5000 users). The authentication times are ranging from 15 to 30 seconds, and when trying to win acceptance for Linux as a stable server platform / file and development code repository, this performance is unacceptable to many of my peers. It is the same whether they authenticate through the Apache engine or if I add authentication to the xdm config and I login to KDE, or even from command line.
Anyone have any ideas or better ways of doing this? Regards, Frank -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
