Server :: Authenticate Samba Share Against LDAP (EDirectory)
May 5, 2010
I'm trying to set up a Samba share that's available over the network to a group of users in our institution. Our infrastructure is based on Novell Netware (slowly migrating to OES), and thus our authentication is managed by eDirectory. All our other shares are managed by Netware, but this one lives on a standalone Ubuntu server.
I've succeeded in setting up the share, and users can access it without a problem. The trouble is that currently it only works by treating all users as guest users and giving them the same privileges over the share. Is it possible to get Samba to authenticate users against eDirectory via LDAP? Would I have to get Ubuntu to authenticate against eDirectory, then Samba against Ubuntu, or can Samba do it directly? I've not really worked with LDAP before so I'm unsure where to start.
How to authenticate Samba server with another LDAP Server. - I would like to set up samba server(CentOS5 samba version 3.0.33)for sharing directory. WindowXP client will can access to samba if username and password match with username and password of another existing LDAP server.
- I only know URL and DN of LDAP server and can not modify anything on LDAP Server.
- Can I config at samba server for requirement above.
We are testing the possibility to migrate from winXP to SLED 11 SP1. We have solved integration login and single sign on. But now we have the problem that we are not able to authenticate users against eDirectory. The test enviroment is SLED 11 SP1 workstation with authentication method eDirectory LDAP, default software + Novell client from installation disk + yast2-lum + yast2-linux-user-management
When ever I have an issue with our LDAP server (which I was able to fix) we see the following errors in /var/log/messages and it causes problems with our services running on that box, e.g. httpd, nrpe, xinetd, etc. Aug 8 17:44:42 hostname httpd: nss_ldap: failed to bind to LDAP server ldap://serveraddress/: Can't contact LDAP server Aug 8 17:44:42 hostname httpd: nss_ldap: reconnecting to LDAP server (sleeping 64 seconds)... I am only wanting to authenticate SSH and Sudo and not services like httpd, nrpe, xinetd etc.
We're still using an NT Domain Server, and Samba is already configured properly. But the problem is if the shared folder is configured in samba to be accessed by group and not the domain username, authentication fails even if the user is member of the group.
True or False: If you have a user on your Linux/Samba machine with a password, example: User = Bob Password = Password0 And Bob is on an XP computer, where his username is also Bob and his password is also Password0, is it normal for Bob to go to:
\SambaServer, double click on Bob's share (valid users = Bob only) and Bob get RIGHT in without being prompted?
On my prior setup, the user HAD to log in. If they wanted auto login next time with their credentials, they had to check "remember password." But now it's as if Samba knows who they are. It's very strange. What's the normal behavior? Must EVERYBODY authenticate with passwords, or if the Windows credentials are the same as Samba does it just somehow auto-detect it and allow them through?
I had 11.1 for some time, was working fine. decided to upgrade... long story short - did a fresh install with livecd of the 11.2. I use ldap server for authentication, its on the lan. configuration during install goes through fine. fetch dn, etc... then after the bootup - authentication error for any user except root. At the same time automounter works fine, ldap requests are going through for hosts (my local hostnames are also on this ldap server), I can edit users through YAST when logged on this box, but alas! even for "su - user" I get "incorrect password", whereas if I am root, then "su - user" gets me logged in as user. password does not go through!
However: <code> root@domainator:~# ldapaddgroup test >> 01/03/11 - 22:16 : Command : /usr/sbin/ldapaddgroup test ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49) ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49) Error adding group test to LDAP Error adding group test to LDAP </code>
Here's various parts of my /etc/ldapscripts/ldapscripts.conf: <code> SERVER="domainator" BINDDN="cn=root,dc=example,dc=home" BINDPWDFILE="/etc/ldapscripts/ldapscripts.passwd" SUFFIX="dc=example,dc=home" # Global suffix GSUFFIX="ou=Groups" # Groups ou (just under $SUFFIX) USUFFIX="ou=Users" # Users ou (just under $SUFFIX) MSUFFIX="ou=Computers" # Machines ou (just under $SUFFIX) GIDSTART="10000" # Group ID UIDSTART="10000" # User ID MIDSTART="20000" # Machine ID </code> /etc/ldapscripts/ldapscripts.passwd permissions are root:root, 0400 a
And I have quadruple checked my password is correct. Is there a way to print out debugging from ldapscripts so I know what commands it is generating?
I have a query regarding login to roundcube via dovecot ldap. I have installed and set up the openldap on Ubuntu Server 11.04 with the help of the following article [URL]. I have also installed Postfix, Dovecot, Dovecot-ldap and roundcube as the mail client. Then, I went on to test if I can login through roundcube. I received "login failed". I'm sure the dovecot is running fine as well as Postfix and openLDAP server. All I can find from the log was "auth(default) LDAP: Can't connect to server: localhost".
I manage to get RHEL Authenticate to Active Directory using LDAP and Kerberos. When a user authenticate to the Unix, the Unix system will check (using Kerberos) to the AD. However I just found out that when the RHEL (LDAP) did the authentication to the AD (to ensure that the RHEL has the right permission to query the LDAP database), it uses simple bind which send the username/password unencrypted over the network.
1) Can We use Kerberos as well? for the initial authentication described above? 2) If Not possible, is there a way to encrypt the username/password in the storage (ldap.conf -because it's world readble)? I know that for tranmission I can use SSL.
I have configured ldap on Debian5 and samba on another machine, all servers are running ok, but when i try to add users, it gives me an errror that "unknown user"
Install and configure Samba as a primary domain controller with LDAP on Linux.i setup it step by step following article without error until step 10.i want to join windows client when press user name and password for domain then display message:The following error occurred attempting to join the domain BIGTIME: The network path was not found.
I would like to setup LDAP (openldap) with Samba. I would like to know what should I setup first? Should I setup LDAP before Samba or Samba before LDAP?
I've been testing a PDC with samba and LDAP these days with the following unsolved issue. 1. I can add the client PC (Windows XP SP3) with the Domain Admin user (Manager) from the client PC, but when i try to add a user I get this message "The trust relationship between this workstation and primary domain failed", so as it can be added later I ignored this message and choose 'close' and reboot the PC. 2. Since the login screen is showed, the message 'Duplicate name exists on the network' appears. So I try to log on with a valid domain username and password after pressing ctrl+alt+del and get the error message: "System cannot log you on because domain rmprb is not available"
I installed CentOS 5.2 and then run yum update. I configured this server as LDAP/Samba primary domain controller. LDAP seems to be OK and for testing I am able to create users with:smbldap-tools useradd -am usernameI can ssh into the server as root and also as a Linux user which was locally created in the server. But ssh into the server as LDAP user fails (from a Fedora 11 machine) with "Permission denied, please try again", prompting again for password.Some data:
Error looking for next uid in sambaDomainName=sambaDomain,dc=DOMAINNAME:No such object at /usr/lob/perl5/vendor_perl/5.8.8/smbldap_tools.pm line 1194.why does this appear, Is there any configurations missing?
I've been busy with configuring Samba with the 389-Directory Server (former Fedora Directory Server) for the past weeks and I almost have everything working. The last thing (I hope) that I haven working are the smbldap-tools which I'd like to use for adding computers and users to the domain. The part where I'm stuck is with the security certificates. I don know how to get the client certificates out of my installation.
My smbldap.conf file contains this: Code: # $Source: $ # $Id: smbldap.conf,v 1.18 2005/05/27 14:28:47 jtournier Exp $ # # smbldap-tools.conf : Q & D configuration file for smbldap-tools # Purpose : # . be the configuration file for all smbldap-tools scripts .....
I used the setupssl2.sh script to setup ssl for my 389-ds, which seemed to have worked fine. I however simply have no clou how to get client certificates out of this.
Making a Samba Server with LDAP authentication. Will post as I go along. Found these sources, anything/hiccups I should know before jumping in? Figure would follow the official documentation then check the others for comparative errors.
I just tried to build my own samba/ldap server on opensuse 11.3 and i am continuously getting an invalid credentials error when doing the smbpasswd -a command. Below are my smb and ldap files.

I`am just trying to connect Samba with ldap to make it simpler for the users to log in. We have already attached squid, so by that we thought it would be easy to do the same with samba. I think we did something wrong with the ldap config for the os with is btw:
Quote: SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86_64) VERSION = 11 PATCHLEVEL = 1 We added Quote: ldap admin dn = cn=xxx,o=xxx
how to make a new Ubuntu 9.10 box use our LDAP/Samba server for user authentication. Our Red Hat and Windows machines all use it just fine. I've been trying to use the auth-client-config and libnss-ldap packages for this purpose, but I must be missing something. I'm pretty green with LDAP, so this is my first time diving in... Is there a good How-To or step-by-step read on this? All of my searches lead me to setting up Ubuntu as the server, and that isn't what I want. I've also tried the steps listed in [URL] for the LDAP Authentication section.
I've setup my samba pdc with ldap, and I can see my shared files (public), which i think is an indication that my samba is working. But I can't seems to get my win2k8 machine to join my domain.
My domain admin is : root system admin: root password for both domain admin and system admin are the same The message that I get from Win2k8 when I try to join a domain is "The specified computer account could not be found. Contact an administrator to verify the account is in the domain. If the account has been deleted unjoin, reboot, and rejoin the domain"
The company I work for, as usual, is Microsoft-centric. I'm attempting to integrate my Ubuntu server into the domain to allow domain users to authenticate to the server and access file shares using Samba. Here's my current configuration:
I have a LAN of about 70 computers that I would like to share media files between. I have gotten to the point with Samba that I can view the files without a username/password from client PC's. I would like to make all the folders read only except for one which will be writable for everyone. The thing that I am having a hard time with is allowing a couple of administrators (on Windows 7 machines) read/write access for all files/folders. I am completely new to Ubuntu and Samba so please make explanations thorough. Here is /etc/samba/smb.conf file:
