Is this Samba 3 or Samba 4?
If samba 3, which ldap server are you using> What is the mail server? Does the mail server have its own LDAP server included it or is also using an external LDAP server. If you want replication between LDAP servers, they should be the same type of LDAP server (e.g. OpenLDAP or Apache Directory Server or Oracle Directory Server.) If you have one type of LDAP server for Samba and one type of LDAP server for Mail, you will not be easily able to replicate. If you are using Samba 3, you have a selection of LDAP servers you could use. The mail server will determine if which LDAP works for mail, and whether you can share the LDAP server between mail and samba.

My question is to reduce the use of net it's a good idea to create other ldap server inside mail server? And finally which's the best relation between ldap.samba server and a future ldap mail server, master.master o master slave? Thanks And Best Regards 2011/2/25 Gaiseric Vandal <gaiseric.van...@gmail.com> I don't understand your question. What does mail have to do with Samba? Does your mail server use LDAP authentication? Or do you want to use the LDAp server as an central address book for your mail clients. Either way, your LDAP server should be able to support attributes for both e-mail and samba requirements.

Which's the better form, master-master or master-slave? I understand using PDC and BDC the relationship is master-slave, but between mail and samba? Thanks& Best Regards 2011/2/21 marcos gonzalez<marcos.gonzalez.c...@gmail.com> Ok in my server the ldap config is inside /etc/ and this file nss_ldap it's inside /etc/ldap/. i didn't understand why pass this but now I understand all Thanks Hi Ok, and how I config nss_ldap? When I copy all database is included? Well, the easiest way, for Samba use, is to simply cp your ldap.conf file for the ldap client application to nss_ldap.conf--cp ldap.conf nss_ldap.conf (this can be a bit confusing, as openldap uses a file called ldap.conf for configuring the ldap client as well as a file called ldap.conf for configuring basic ldap server process. The server file is generally contained in the directory where configuration files are kept in a subdirectory called openldap along with files like slapd.conf and is generally a small file witch looks something like this: # # LDAP Defaults # # See ldap.conf(5) for details # This file should be world readable but not world writable. BASE dc=mydomain,dc=com URI ldapi://%2fvar%2frun%2fopenldap%2fldapi ldap://192.168.64.2:389 # TLS_CACERT /usr/local/etc/openldap/cacert.pem #SIZELIMIT 12 #TIMELIMIT 15 #DEREF never whereas the ldap.conf for the client is rather lengthy and contains quite a bit of information for contacting the ldap server, how the dit should be searched, etc.) And, no, nss_ldap.conf has nothing to do with the ldap server. nss_ldap.conf can be used to contact an external ldap server, just as the ldap.conf for the ldap client application can/ Sorry for the newbie questions, If any time comes to barcelona contact me, you has a beer paid (Daniel too) :-) Well, now that's quite a generous offer. Much appreciated. Thanks and Best Regards 2011/2/20<t...@tms3.com> Hi Thanks, this howto for me its better. I have other doubt, syncrepl needs to be installed or comes integrated with slapd daemon? It is all part of the openldap suite. And to transfer all shared samba folders and profile content, when it's the better moment? I understand when samba is down or when is up? Depends on the permissions. However, so long as ALL the files to be transferred belong to users in LDAP then, with nss_ldap properly configured, any copy that preserves permissions should be fine. Thanks and Best Regards 2011/2/20<t...@tms3.com> Now you are on to copy your slapd.conf and ldap.conf to your new machine: Ex: scp slapd.conf root@2machine:/etc/openldap ---------------------------HOw I can make this If slurpd is deprecated? The guide http://blog.suretecsystems.com/archives/129-Replacing-Slurpd-using-OpenLDAP- 2.4.html not's easy to understand, not exist other howto more simple? Here is another guide. The first link is quite comprehensive. http://www.zytrax.com/books/ldap/ch7/ The entire online manual is a good read. I highly recommend it. Now important I do the trick with slurpd. There are many other ways but this is easy. Slurpd should be installed on your Master an only there. So go in to the slapd.conf on your master and put a few lines in it at the end. Be carefull all tabs must fit exact as this example: replica uri=ldap://IPOFYOUR2MACHINE:389 binddn="cn=youradmin,dc=your,dc=ldap" suffix="dc=yourc,dc=ldap" bindmethod=simple credentials=securepassword I understand the part of backup slapd only works with the service stopped? Well Im grateful for all your time :-) Thanks and Best Regards 2011/2/18<t...@tms3.com> In my hint I think your samba PDC/Ldap is cuurently working well! First of all install a second machine with the samba and ldap. Do not start samba, do not start ldap. The ldap database should be nearly empty ex:/var/lib/ldap Now copy your smb.conf to your new machine ex: scp root@2machine :/etc/samba Edit the smb.conf to your needs and adjust it to be a bdc: domain master=NO domain logons=YES Make a testparm it should succed like this: testparm Load smb config files from /etc/samba/smb.conf Processing section "[netlogon]" WARNING: The "share modes" option is deprecated Processing section "[sysvol]" WARNING: The "share modes" option is deprecated Processing section "[homes]" Processing section "[profiles]" Processing section "[alles]" Processing section "[printers]" Processing section "[print$]" Loaded services file OK. Server role: ROLE_DOMAIN_BDC<----------------------------you are a BDC Press enter to see a dump of your service definitions Yes very nice! Now you are on to copy your slapd.conf and ldap.conf to your new machine: Ex: scp slapd.conf root@2machine:/etc/openldap Now important I do the trick with slurpd. Sorry, but Slurpd is depricated and no longer available in Openldap since 2.3 http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/replication.html#Replacing%20Slurpd Here is nice overview of the way LDAP currently works: http://blog.suretecsystems.com/archives/129-Replacing-Slurpd-using-OpenLDAP- 2.4.html Once you have sync-repl set up on the current master, and a proper slapd.conf and ldap.conf file on the new machine, start ldap, then smbpasswd -w<ldap-master-passwd> net rpc join -U<administrator> <domain name> Done. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
