Re: [Samba] when will samba4 become stable
I'm betting the answer will be something like: The rate at which samba4 approaches stability is tied to the number of people using it and filing bugs so get out there and use it ;-) On Wed, Feb 25, 2009 at 08:20:37AM -0500, Ying Hu wrote: > I checked most samba 4 related posts and couldn't fine the answer.

[Samba] Samba4: programmatic account creation via LDAP (unicodePwd)
Hello,
I've started working with samba4-alpha6. I've been successful
in setting up an AD with an openldap backend. I'm now
shifting my focus to how I would go about migrating to
a samba4 setup from a microsoft AD implementation.
To that end I've written a perl script that uses Net::LDAP
to create users in the samba4 LDAP backend. I can create
the user in such a way that samba4 is happy with it, but
I'm unable to set an initial password for the user.
I've tried using a template user that has a known password
and then duplicating that users nTSecurityDescriptor, but that
doesn't seem to work. I've tried creating a unicodePwd entry
with the following code:
my $charmap = Unicode::Map8->new('latin1') or die $!;
my $unipwd = $charmap->tou(qq{"$passwd"})->byteswap()->utf16();
But that doesn't seem to work either.
I was wondering if anyone working with samba4 could recommend
a way to create users programmatically. If a mechanism does not
exist, perhaps someone could point me in the right direction to
add the necessary hooks to samab4 to allow it.
