Have you configured nss_ldap? You could try testing Samba without ssl enabled in LDAP or the smb.conf. If it can connect without using ssl then you need to trouble shoot ssl. If it cannot connect without ssl then you need to look at your nss_ldap settings. Setting up nss_ldap involves configuring the /etc/ldap.conf and /etc/nsswitch.conf files. I would recommend using "Samba by Example". It is available at www.samba.org in the Learn Samba section. Take a look at Chapter 5 "Making Happy Users". -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
