I've perused the various resources about integrating samba and LDAP, but I haven't been able to determine how to do the following:
I'd like to set up samba to authenticate against an LDAP server, but only to validate the password. I don't control the LDAP server, and I don't mind creating local user accounts and configuration files, but it isn't clear how I configure samba to check just the password. Here is what I tried: Rebuild samba with the following option --with-pam add to top of /etc/pam.d/samba auth sufficient /lib/security/pam_ldap.so add or modify entries in /etc/samba/smb.conf encrypt passwords = no obey pam restrictions = yes This did not work, and no matter what log level I ran at, I couldn't trace down the problem. Can anybody tell me if this possible and perhaps point me in the right direction? I don't even mind modifying the source slightly, if I can just get started in the right direction. Running Redhat 7.1 and Samba 2.2.5 (can upgrade if necessary) Don't know much about the LDAP server, but I have the configuration info and can successfully use PAM_LDAP to authenticate linux logins.
