Hi to all list. I'm Massimo (Slackwarelife launchpad ID). I'm a young network admin. From some day I am trying to shape Ubuntu in order to join to my AD. But I am meeting some problem that we are to hard work resolving. Therefore I have thought to write for giving suggestions in merit also because the same difficulties I have been found in the questions that have placed me other customers in launchpad.
Here the difficulty: - possibility to change the local password and LDAP password using gnome-about me manager and the Ubuntu windows login (after the expiration of password). I try to use some pam config (i used also the Novell and Red Hat Config), but i'm not able to change at the same time both passowrd using the gui tools. For windows users are not so frendly to use the command line. I think we can increase these tools to be able to change the passowrd. - Join different domain In my enterprise I have 20 domains. But the user to join it must use @domain.naime after the userid. But in Wund there is a windows in which the user can see all domain and they can choose the right domain. I think we can change the login windows and put this info if there is samba.conf with some domains. - Password exipartion My try to insert the passowrd expiration in LDAP, but it didn't do effect in ubuntu. I didn't recive any messages which informs to me the password is expiried. In Windows there is a message. I don't know how to resolve it. Now I set the passwrd expiration in /etc/shadow file to have the message. But it is not the right way. I think all must admin into the LDAP server like Windows. There are three problems I found at the moment. But now I have others problems. I write another email to explain it. Thanks for all. -- ubuntu-server mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-server
