I'm setting up a Samba/LDAP PDC (samba-3.0.13 / openldap-2.1.30) and I'm trying to join a machine (called "melisa") to the domain. When I try to join the domain, I type in the Administrator (which maps to root) credentials. and after a few seconds I get a windows error that says:
The following error occurred while attempting to joing the domain "PCA-USERS":
The user name could not be found.
I have the same problem. The only way I am able to add a machine is to:
1. Create the posix machine account using chpass (I run on FreeBSD)
2. smbpasswd -m -a Machine_Name
3. Use my ldap gui tool to edit the ldap entry created by smbpasswd with the additional info.
'Tis a royal pain in the arse. Don't know why....haven't had time to play with the smbldap_useradd.pl pearl script.
The machine was successfully added to the ldap dir, in "ou=Computers", but I can't seem to figure out why I'm getting this error. I saw the following searches in my slapd.log:
SRCH base="dc=pca-wichita,dc=com" scope=2 filter="(&(uid=melisa$)(objectClass=sambaSamAccount))"
SRCH base="ou=Users,dc=pca-wichita,dc=com" scope=1 filter="(&(objectClass=posixAccount)(uid=melisa$))"
The first search returned 1 entry, but the second search returned 0. I'm not really sure why it's looking in ou=Users and using a scope of 1 (isn't that the "base" scope?). My smb.conf settings have the following:
ldap user suffix = ou=Users ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers
Does anyone know of anything else I can look at to try and troubleshoot this problem?
