I'm following the steps on this article: http://wiki.debian.org/SambaDcWithLdapBackend
I've been able to follow everything up to 'Testing the configuration' (which had a spelling error that I fixed), where it says 'Log back into phpldapadmin and verify that the DomainName record exists below the root'. I see root, and under root I see: cn=admin ou=admins ou=groups ou=machines ou=users I see these because I created them. Nowhere in the article does it specify to create a DomainName record, or what kind of record it should be. Should it have magically appeared on its own? I doubt it, so I'm thinking there's a hole in the article, unless I missed something. Where should the DomainName record be? After that, the article says 'create the following Samba3 Mappings under the groups OU:' How do I create them? If I click ou=groups and under objectClass, click 'Add Value', there's no value called 'Samba3 Mappings'. The closest one, and the only one I found with 3 fields, was SambaGroupMapping. It has a gid and sid field, but not a 'Unix/Windows Name' field, and if I put what you recommended for 'Unix/Windows Name' for 'sambaGroupType', I get this error: LDAP said: Invalid syntax Error number: 0x15 (LDAP_INVALID_SYNTAX) Description: An invalid attribute value was specified. Any recommendations? Hopefully, I can help you improve the documentation and get accomplish what I'm getting paid to do here at the same time (which is set up Samba as a pdc for 6 Windows XP users). One other problem with the article as I see it. It uses the normal plain text config files for everything except ldap, and there it uses the third party phpldapadmin. I think it would be better if it were consistent and just stayed with using the ldap config files as well. I'm pretty much done with everything in the article now, except all the stuff the article says to do with phpldapadmin, steps which are not very clear. Can anyone here fill in on the ldap config steps for setting up a Debian server as a PDC?
