try ldapsearch with "-x" for simple (non sasl) authentication.

Hi
Thanks for your reply, much appreciated.
When I run ldapsearch on the Samba server it prompts me for a password and this
fails when tried with the credentials for the ldap bind account specified in
smb.conf, also with the root pw for either machine, as follows:
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Invalid credentials (49)
I have tried resetting the smbpasswd -w as you suggested and setting the bind
account password to the same on the ldap server, but i still get this message.
This suggests you are right and it is a credentials issue, is there anything I
need to do beyond
smbpasswd -w<password> on the samba machine
and passwd<bind account> on ldap server
?
The LDAP does appear to be running on the primary LDAP server as I can look at
it on the console of the (unused) instance of zimbra on there, it looks OK.
That said if I do a ldapsearch on the that machine I get an error:
[root@primaryldapserver cacerts]# ldapsearch
ldap_sasl_interactive_bind_s: Can't contact LDAP server (-1)

Fergus

Can you use "ldapsearch" or a GUI Ldap browser/editor (e.g. Apache
Directory Studio) to make sure that your primary LDAP server really is
working . Verify that the credentials are good.
You may need to re enter the ldap pw in samba if your password store
got corrupted
# smbpasswd -w LDAPBINDPW

Hi
We have a Samba server that authenticates with an openldap server. Or it used
to.
We had a power cut last week and after a bit of struggling everything came
back, but not Samba.
Previously our smb.conf file included the line
passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://server.domain.net/
With this line in place the connection to the LDAP server fails, and peoples
shares drop off every few minutes. I changed this to point to our 2nd, backup
ldap server and now shares and logon work again. I need to get communication
started again between our Samba and primary LDAP server.
Symptoms include the following: (with the new config, ie pointing at the backup
ldap server)
On the samba server:
servername:/etc/samba# smbclient '\\servername\data'
WARNING: The "printer admin" option is deprecated
Enter root's password:
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE
but
servername:/etc/samba# smbclient -L localhost -U%

I have upped the log level to 10 and grepped for relevant hostnames and things

etc to assist.
Thanks
