I have a SAMBA Server utilizing an LDAP backend for user authentication and it works great unless I use ClearCase. When ClearCase is used the compilation time for our code is slowed down to a crawl and the ClearCase application is rendered nearly useless. As a test fix my boss wants me to create a second SAMBA server to be used for only the ClearCase server.
I don't know if this will work, but I may be able to accomplish my task if I set the "os level" lower than my primary SAMBA server set the SID to the same as my existing server. I then change the "netbios alias" to "clearcase". I'll then add my views and vobs through either NFS or SANS client to the ClearCase SAMBA server. This way if a workstation using ClearCase needs to use the \\clearcase\views share it will utilize the ClearCase SAMBA server not the primary server. All authentication should remain through my LDAP server since I did not change the SIDs for my server or user accounts. If this plan sound feasible please let me know. If it sounds like I may break my existing architecture let me know. If you have better suggestions I am looking for any help.
