Hello all, 

Long time lurker fist time poster. 


I am setting up a openldap server on 10.04 server but am running into issues. 


I have the base system setup with SSL and I can access the ldap server with out 
issue. I can authenticate users for 10.04 desktops with no issue. Where I run 
into issue is converting the ppolice schema file to ldif format. I have 
followed the docs at 
https://help.ubuntu.com/11.04/serverguide/C/openldap-server.html but I only 
really want ppolicy and samba. Is there documentation and or already converted 
schema's for ppolice and samba? 


Thanks for any help anyone can provide. 


On the ldap note, what I would like to know is if there is any prepackaged and 
or scripts that one can run that will leave you with a openldap system that can 
authenticate Windows clients and Linux clients. A management util would be nice 
as well. Here is the where this comes from. I have a few Window admin colleges 
that are interested in Linux as a DC for both Win and Lin systems but keep 
running into the same issue. Too much command line for there liking. Following 
the basics is fine like in the link above (read cut and past), but once you run 
into a glitch they are pooched. So as a result, another Win2K8 server with AD 
gets installed. 


I would really like to see a simple Question/answer type script built or 
something that would make it simple for this kind of admin. There are allot of 
admins out there like that and we could get more Ubuntu DC server out there if 
it were not too scary for them. 


If nothing exists would anyone be interested in working together on something 
like that? I am not a programmer and my scripting is enuff to get me by but I 
would love to give ideas, testing or what ever. 
I think a web based tool for managing the DC would be a very good idea as well. 
Maybe a webmin module could be built to do that. That way we could leverage 
some of the already existing webmin modules. 


Thought comments would be appreciated. 


Thanks!
