No time to test with a real Samba, but hashing code is the same as phpLdapAdmin, so it should work perfectly ;) ---------------------------------------- Feature #164: Add hashes for Samba passwords http://tools.lsc-project.org/issues/show/164 Author: Jonathan Clarke Status: Closed Priority: Normal Assigned to: Clément Oudot Category: Self Service Password Target version: self-service-password-0.3 Hi, Now that we have a nice mechanism to hash passwords, I was thinking that it would be nice to be able to store Samba password hashes. Samba uses two specific attributes, *sambaLMPassword* and *sambaNTPassword*, each with a different hash. "An old post on the samba mailing list":http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba-technical/2004-March/034988.html provides details on the algorithms to generate them. However, according to "this question on ServerFault":http://serverfault.com/questions/24543/what-is-the-difference-between-sambalmpassword-and-sambantpassword, the LM hash is very weak, and no longer used by default by Samba since it's not required for any Windows clients newer than Windows 95. So it seems that *sambaNTPassword* would be sufficient for most users nowadays. Added bonus would be to update the related attribute * sambaPwdLastSet*... This functionality should of course be optional, even if the *sambaSamAccount* objectClass is present in a user's LDAP entry, since other ways of updating this attribute are available, like "OpenLDAP's smbk5pwd overlay":http://www.openldap.org/devel/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/contrib/slapd-modules/smbk5pwd/README?rev=1.4.2.1&cvsroot=OpenLDAP-src&hideattic=1&sortbydate=0. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
