You have to look in Novell site.
maybe start in:

You may run into trouble as you follow this document through as it assumes you have a Novell Open Enterprize Server in the directory tree. The process of adding an OES system to the tree extends the schema in a number of not clearly documented ways. If you are not running OES then extending the schema to work with correctly with Linux User Manager as described is a very difficult task, I could not get it to work on a vanilla eDirectory install with all the relevant schema extensions applied (that is the extensions I could identify through trial and error).

If you do get Samba/eDirectory authentication working by following this article without resorting to adding OES to the tree I would like to hear how. Considering the power of Samba and Novell's financial interest in it you would assume getting eDirectory to work with it cleanly would be a much simpler task than what is described above.

Sorry I was mistaken the Novell document I was referring to which references Linux User Manager and OES is this one:
http://wiki.novell.com/index.php/OES_as_PDC

The document referenced above (http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/ appnote/11788.html) does not utilise Universal Password or provide any identification functionality above basic user access. This maybe what you are after but personally I would prefer something that did not require users to maintain multiple passwords, integrates with other Windows/Samba servers more closely and provided the smooth administration experience of the iManager LUM plug-in.
