Hi,
Our domain is setup with one Primary Domain Controller and two Backup
Domain Controllers, and a member server. All domain controllers (PDC
and BDCs) are running Gentoo Linux with Samba and LDAP. The member
server (fileserver) is a SUNS machine running Solaris. We do everything
(add, edit, modify groups and accounts) on the PDC and it will then sync
all the changes to the BDC by way of SLURPD, then from the BDC to
another BDC. To access the shared file on the member server (Solaris),
the user will authenticate using the PDC which is the password server on
smb.conf file of the member server.
What we want to do in the coming days is to turn off and upgrade the PDC
and promote one of the BDC to PDC and don't miss a beat. I first stop
slapd, slurpd and samba service on the PDC. I then edit the smb.conf
file of one of the BDC and make it a PDC. I also added a new line which
is security = user.
I run a testparm command after making changes to BDC's smb.conf file and
it showed that it is now the Primary Domain Controller. I edit the
member server's smb.conf file and change the password server line to
match the new PDC.
password server = IP of the new PDC
I login to one of the test machine and see if I can login and it worked,
but when I tried to map to one of our shared drive, it ask for username
and password. Somehow the member server doesn't know that the password
server has now been changed. There is not much error on the logs that
are helpful.
I made sure that I restarted the samba service every time I made changes.
Please help.
Thanks.
