Re: [Samba] Samba 3.x server with LDAP backend doesn't work

>Did you try w/o start TLS support?   I realize this can have security
implications, so this is only to see if the problem is with TLS or with
the configuration in general.

I have tried without TLS support and without SSL (replaced ldaps with ldap)

   passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap:///
   ldap ssl = off
   ldap admin dn = cn=Adminid,dc=xxx,dc=yyy,dc=zzz
   ldap suffix = dc=xxx,dc=yyy,dc=zzz
   ldap delete dn = no
   ldap user suffix = ou=People
   ldap group suffix = ou=Groups

Now I get the following error:
[2013/05/16 16:38:14,  0] lib/smbldap.c:1052(smbldap_connect_system)
  failed to bind to server ldap:/// with 
dn="cn=Adminid,dc=xxx,dc=yyy,dc=zzz" Error: Confidentiality required
(unknown)

>It the LDAP server is on the same server as the samba server then I
don't think you will need TLS encryption, since there isn't LAN traffic
to snoop.

Our LDAP server is not on the same server. It is a central enterprise server

>don't forget to set set the ldap password with "smbpasswd -w"

I did this part for the Adminid

>Also I think "ldaps" means ldap over SSL, not ldap+tls.   I would also
use ldapclient tools (e.g. the command line ldapsearch or the gui Apache
Directory Studio ldap browser and editor) to make sure you can connect
to the ldap server via LDAP, LDAP+TLS and/or LDAPS-over-SSL. You
need to make sure you have all the certificates configured correctly.

LDAP authentication works perfectly directly from our AIX server. I can do 
ldapsearches and can login with my ldap credentials etc.. Only samba 
authentication doesn't work

[Samba] Samba 3.x server with LDAP backend doesn't work

2013-05-16 Thread Gollapalli, Prakash 
We have a central LDAP server for our enterprise on a Linux box.  I have 
installed Samba 3.4.4 server on an AIX server and trying to get users 
authenticated via LDAP server.   So far my efforts have been unsuccessful.  
Here is my ldap section of the smb.conf file:

passdb backend = ldapsam:ldaps:///
ldap ssl = start tls
ldap suffix = dc=xxx,dc=yyy,dc=zzz
ldap delete dn = no
ldap user suffix = ou=People
ldap group suffix = ou=Groups

Here is the error I am seeing in the Samba errorlog:

[2013/05/16 11:08:14,  0] lib/smbldap.c:656(smb_ldap_start_tls)
  Failed to issue the StartTLS instruction: Can't contact LDAP server
[2013/05/16 11:08:14,  1] lib/smbldap.c:1231(another_ldap_try)
  Connection to LDAP server failed for the 1 try!

Is there a documented procedure on how to connect samba users to a backend ldap 
server?

Any help with is greatly appreciated

Thanks, Prakash
