Still no idea ?
Anyone knows about sambaNTPasword ?
No one have ever experienced issues doing a seamless migration ?

Hello everyone,
I am operating a migration of samba from 3.0.24 (mysql passdb backend)
to 3.5.6 (openldap passdb), samba working as a domain controller (PDC)
and file share. The main challenge is to provide a seamless migration
for users.
For this new version, I am using smbldap-tools 0.9.6, nss_ldap,
openldap 2.4. Everything run on FreeBSD 8.2.
To get used to samba, I have managed to make samba 3.5 work as a new
domain, computers joining it, etc... But since I want a seamless
migration, I now try to provide enough information to samba 3.5 to
auth users like the old version.
Currently, I can't achieve to have machine accounts which can be on
the new domain with the samba root login, without joining the domain
through windows manual procedure.
The new domain have the same "netbios name", "workgroup", domain SID,
local SID. And now the challenge is to fill accounts (users but first
workstation/machine) in ldap.
I have copy and paste every *.tdb file from the old samba to the new :
/var/db/samba/*.tdb and /usr/local/etc/samba/*.tdb (+ smbpasswd file).
Moreover, to test everything, I have a computer which have a ethernet
interface toward the old working samba, and another one toward the new
domain. When I try to switch from the old to the new samba, I shutdown
the right interface, unlog and try to log with the root login of the
new samba (I always wait few minutes in order to have the new pdc
"recognized").
As I read that someone is able to upgrade his samba seamlessly by
shutting down computers & samba (old & new), then starting new samba
then computers, I have tried each time this procedure. However, I
don't believe it is the problem : logs are the same if do the
"shutdown/start" procedure or the simple "unlog/log" procedure.
I put at the end of this mail ldap entries for each step made. So
first, is the reference of a working machine account (achieved by
joining manually the "new" domain) [1].
Here are steps I have made:
1. I'm adding machine account using:
#smbldap-useradd -W machine_account$
Then I provide my machine account the same SID in ldap using:
#pdbedit machine_account$ -U
S-1-5-21-720590779-4203916555-4014520812-11343
The result is [2], and I can't log with it. Logs tell me something
like "Workstation machine_account$ doesn't have a password"... Indeed,
no sambaNTPassword here !
2. I want to manually provide sambaNTPassword. Here, no samba command
(pdbedit, smpasswd) provides me a way to do it, the only way I found
is to adding it directly into LDAP (ldapadd or mod,...) [3].
As we could pedict, it doesn't work (log as root). Since
"sambaNTPassword" comes during the manual join procedure, it must be
some kind of exchange between the workstation and the PDC.
3. The second idea is to import the old passdb backend into the new
(ldap) using:
#pdbedit -e tdbsam:export.tdb
on the old PDC, and then on the new PDC:
#pdbedit -i tdbsam:export.tdb
Everything works fine for import/export, giving me [4]. Trying to log
in with this fails : "Failed to find UNIX account for thorin$". If I
add manually fields needed for a UNIX account (objectClass:
posixAccount, etc...), it fails on a "credentials check fails" (same
as step 1 when sambaNTPassword were missing).
CONCLUSION:
In my opinion, it appears that sambaNTPassword is needed for
workstation authentification and can be provided only by joining the
domain manually (Computer -> Manage -> etc...).
Ideas are seriously running out, I find very few stuff about
sambaNTPassword and particularly about when (during the joining
process ?), where (is it stored on workstation ? in a samba file ?
only in the passdb backend ?) and why (security reasons I guess,
avoiding name spoofing etc...? Not a crucial question).
Any help would be welcome !
