I am looking for some good tools to manage Samba users in LDAP. It looks like there are several good tools mentioned on the Samba Wiki, but I am concerned mostly with the proper addition of new users to LDAP, in particular, generating unique SIDs. smbldap-useradd, for example, generates the SIDs for primary user and group based off of a simple formula based on the UID and GID, whereas Samba itself using a very simple mechanism of storing the next free RID in an LDAP attribute. Since I still plan to use the Add Computer to Domain wizard in Windows for adding computers, I am concerned that an overlap could occur between these two approaches. AFAIK, there are no SQL-like feature in LDAP like transactions, unique indices, or sequences that would allow multiple mechanisms to generate a unique SID. I wouldn't mind a tool like pdbedit which goes through Samba to update the backend db, but I want it to be scriptable and not ask for a password so I can integrate password updates with other systems such as LDAP (using userPassword) and Kerberos. -- Loren M.
