Dear Andrew, We encounter the same problem. For over 10 years we've been using Samba (2, then 3) with OpenLDAP (and then 389 DS) backend. We have perfectly working LDAP environment with replication, well tuned, with many additional attributes and with a lot of non-samba related services (email, mailing list, address book, user specific data). For all that time we had comfortable situation, that the users had to remeber just one password.
And now, if I understand the situation correctly, there is no way to keep the password synchronized between Samba4 and external LDAP. I don't need to authenticate samba against external LDAP, but I want to somehow trigger password change in LDAP in case of changing it in Windows, and vice-versa. And I really think that migration of our well known and fully functional LDAP system, which is the core of our environment, is not the best and proper way. Did we reached a dead end? -- kind regards Tomasz -- View this message in context: http://samba.2283325.n4.nabble.com/passwd-program-in-samba4-tp4647906p4648289.html Sent from the Samba - General mailing list archive at Nabble.com. -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
