Ubuntu Servers :: Making A Samba Server With LDAP Authentication?
Oct 24, 2010
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 maintain a samba PDC for a small business, our current setup does not work very well; on a hardware upgrade I directled imported the old ldap database and attempting to add machines to the domain causes all sorts of trouble.
I'm 95% sure the original database (which predates my employment) was created using the idealx smb-ldap tools, unfortunately on our current platform (debian lenny) these tools seem to be broken; the only things hey seem to do reliably are set passwords and add posix users, asking them to do anything involving samba/windows causes errors. The idealx tools seem to be abandoned, and I don't know enough perl to try and fix them.
Since the idealx scripts seem to be abandoned, and most of the good samba+ldap how-tos references the idealx tools, I was wondering what people use nowadays to manage there ldap directories; surely they aren't importing .ldif files to add new users/machines like I've been doing. Are people just writing thier own management scripts/web-apps? Or are the smb=ldap tools just broke on debian?how to generate the NT/LM password hashes and proper SIDs, does anybody have anything they could point me to about this?
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.
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 am using RackMonkey to map out my lab. Unfortunately, due to RM limitations, every user who accesses the site has write access UNLESS they are logged in as a user named "guest". I currently have Apache allowing only the users (sysadmins) in an LDAP group access to RM, but I would like to allow read-only access for other users as well.I found mod_authn_anon, but I am having trouble combining the two authentication methods. I am using Apache 2.2.18 (compiled myself) on SLES 11.1.
This is the common part:
Code:
AuthType Basic AuthBasicProvider ldap anon Order allow,deny Allow from all
This part by itself works for the LDAP authentication:
Anonymous guest Anonymous_VerifyEmail Off Anonymous_MustGiveEmail Off Anonymous_LogEmail on Require valid-user
But if I have both of the previous blocks enabled at once, then guest access does not work. If I throw in a "Satisfy any", then I am not prompted for a username at all. How can I allow access to this LDAP group and to a user named "guest", but not allow all valid LDAP users to log in?
On this moment i configure a testenvironment with 1 Microsoft active directory server and 1 Opensuse 11 samba filesharing server. But i have a issue. The samba server is add to the domain and the servers can communicate with eachother. I can login to the domain on the samba server and the LDAP settings tab on yast2 samba configuration tool tell me that samba and the MS LDAP server can communicate with eachother. I can see the shares on the samba server but i can't autenticate myself. When i whant to logon than see i always "domain: domainname.local" and "access denied". My question is now how can i give the MS administrator account rights to view the shares and configure the rights for the other users.Samba config file
I've been working for hours with Samba on Ubuntu Server 9.10 (Samba version 3.4.0), trying to get it setup simply as a fileserver that performs authentication to an NT 4 server (yes, I know, old and out of date). After much struggling, I finally realized that my configuration *was* working when the clients connecting (from XP, and Win2k clients, mostly) were actually joined to the domain (where the PDC is the NT 4 Server) and logged into the domain.For various reasons, many of the Windows clients at this location don't actually log into the domain, even though they have login/passwords that are valid users on the domain and they'll typically have some drives mapped to the PDC.
By the way, I have this working on another Linux box running Samba 3.0.28, so I'm sure it's possible, I'm just lost as to how to do it.I can provide plenty more information if it would help diagnose the situation. Does anyone have an idea of how I can get this to work? I'm sure it's possible, since the exact scenario worked in a recent version of Samba.
I have been able to accomplish my goal of creating an AD-like authentication using LDAP,SAMBA and LAM. From what I have seen you can have this type of setup but it doesn't allow the passing of group policies to the desktops of the users.
I've just installed Ubuntu Server for the first time with the goal as setting it up as a proxy server for our Apple computers here since I can get neither ISA of OS X Server's firewall to play properly. So far I have the machine authenticating against our OS X OpenLDAP server and multiple NIC's setup ready to be connected to the outside world. My question is does anyone have a preference on what proxy I should be using? So far my search efforts seem to of turned up Squid Proxy as a favorite among Ubuntu users but I can't seem to work out how to get it authenticating against my OpenLDAP server.
i am taking another stab at this. The last time i attempted it, it seemed like everyone had a different way to do it, but nobody could give me an answer on how to do it...
I currently have a Domain Controller Running sme server and a domain controller, using ldap as a backend. I have two file servers runing ubuntu 10.04. My overall goal is to have it so when i create a username on the domain controller, it is then automatically copied over to the fileservers. This way everyone will have their own username and password to access the fileservers and ill be able to track what people do on the fileservers.
The next necessity is for me to be able to apply permissions to the folders on the fileserver based on the users that are created on the domain controller.
LDAP Authentication for Web Access I am trying to build a LDAP server to allow access to the wireless network in conjunction with Meraki wireless access points. I am using Ubuntu 10.10 and trying to install OpenLDAP from their documentation but I keep running into the error "configure: error: MozNSS not found - please specify the location to the NSPR and NSS header files in CPPFLAGS and the location to the NSPR and NSS libraries in LDFLAGS (if not in the system location)" I have OpenSSL installed but I also got these when I ran ./configure
checking openssl/ssl.h usability... no checking openssl/ssl.h presence... no checking for openssl/ssl.h... no checking gnutls/gnutls.h usability... no
I would like to know whether ldap can be used to authenticate wireless clients with my server.server and clients are connected to a wireless router and i am able to get wireless adapter work in my ubuntu. Is there any anything extra which is required or the openldap server will work for wireless clients?
I have tomcat installed with port forwarding to http port 80. I configure ldap authentication for apache2(/var/www). But I could not configure tomcat for ldap authentication.
neither of which exist in the repositories, or anywhere on the internet. the best I could find was a request to build a package from over a year ago...
I did find source that I can build... the Perl module builds and starts to begin the setup process -- but I get stuck at the point where it requires the SDK... which I cannot find anywhere in a plain downloadable form. the one I found seems incomplete:
My scenario is similar to this person scenario: http:[url]......Here at the clinics, we already have established leaf/shorewall firewalls. Our domain controllers are win2k3 boxes.I've installed ubuntu 9.10 on a sound desktop/server and installed two nics inside that box.How do I make Dansguardian talk to our domain controllers, and give users access to the internet via established groups? What would be the best way to do this?
We're trying to validate LDAP authentication from Linux against our AD global catalog servers. I'm seeing lots of LDAP query tools, but what I need is a free/open source application that can use LDAP to query AD to authenticate... something as simple as entering the hostname/IP of our AD/global catalog server and the port, then passing an AD username/password to it to validate logon capability. Anyone know of any software/apps that can do this? I don't want to get into configuring Samba for LDAP or trying to authenticate my actual Linux server again AD... I just want an application that uses LDAP for authentication.
I have a openldap server running on one machine (fedora10) and pam_ldap.so and nss_ldap.so running on the other machine.
I have added a new user to the LDAP server database, this user is not created on client machine.
1. Can i login to the client machine using this new user?
2. Now if i try logging with this new user I am getting error messages, the error messages are as follows at client side
Sep 2 10:34:36 localhost sshd[8484]: Invalid user kim from 10.254.194.148 Sep 2 10:34:36 localhost sshd[8485]: input_userauth_request: invalid user kim Sep 2 10:35:16 localhost sshd[8484]: pam_ldap: error trying to bind as user "cn=min soo,ou=people,dc=samsung,dc=com" (Invalid credentials)
I installed Nconf software on a Debian server.I am trying to configure Nconf Authentication with LDAP.I edited nconf's authentication.php file accordingly and I installed php5-ldap package.When i enter user-name and password in Nconf's login screen.
My scenario is based on Ubuntu server guide, can be found at [URL].. Step 1: I do as chapter 6, install OPENLDAP server, populating LDAP => run ok. Step 2: do as LDAP Authentication section => run ok. Step 3: Install samba => ok. Step 4: do as OpenLDAP Configuration section => there's a problem here: when I run the command:
Quote:
ldapadd -x -D cn=admin,cn=config -W -f /tmp/cn=samba.ldif.I can't login to LDAP server, it said that:
Quote: ldap_bind: Invalid credentials (49)
I am sure that the password is correct, but I still receive this message
I have Centos ( and Postfix+ldap+dovecot ) TLS works with Postfix and LDAP. When I open evolution mail client I can browse ldap tree and search for users, send-receive mails ...all fine
I'm having a pretty weird problem, and really have no idea where to begin in tracing and fixing it. But here goes.I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 on 2 machines, and have installed OpenLDAP as per the guide https://help.ubuntu.com/10.10/server...ap-server.html it all seemed to be going well having it installed and running on Server A, including authentication. So a few days later I decided to setup server B to be a slave replica. Which after a little bit of fiddling seems to working and keeping the records in sync.
Then I did an apt-get upgrade on server A. then my problem started.Basically getent passwd, only returns one entry from the LDAP and so does getent group.But a search of LDAP returns everything that's there.I've been comparing the config files between Server A and Server A for PAM etc, and everything is the same.but if I change ldap.conf on server A to point the uri ldap://server B/ and rerun getent passwd it returns all the users and getent group returns all the groups.I've compared the LDAP entries between Server A and Server B and they're staying in sync.It looks like it's more to do with ldap than the auth config if just changing the server fixes it, but as server A is the master LDAP server I'm really at a loss.
If getent was only returning local users it'd be something, but it's returning local + 1 LDAP user or 1 group. Which just seems weird.Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm sure posting some logs would be helpful, but I have no idea which so if someone can let me know what extra info would be more helpful I'll post it back asap.
I want to Configure Linux LDAP Server for user authentication when my users want to connect to the internet.Also i don't want the user to get the home directory on server. i configured ldap server and ldap client without PAM & SASL.and now with perl i can search in ldap for my client's username & password in ldap.
I started a new job and they use LDAP here. I built a new RHEL 5.5 server and configured LDAP. Usernames are recognized but the password is not. I can chown a file to a user name but when I try to login as the user it won't accept the password.I know the password is correct because I can login to any of the old boxes and it accepts the password. I ran authconfig-tui to tell my RHEL box to authenticate to ldap.
I setup openldap and samba on 9.10. The ubuntu desktop client gets authenticated successfully with the server. But when I do a passwd on the client, only the ldap passwd is getting changed but not in the samba and the unix user account.
My smb.conf
Code:
passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://192.168.3.100 ldap suffix = dc=example,dc=local ldap user suffix = ou=People ldap group suffix = ou=Groups
[code].....
But only the ldap password is getting changed and not in the samba and unix user account.
A time ago I've been trying to implement a PDC linux server with Samba and Openldap for centralized authentication for windows and linux clients, but I can NOT get it. So I read somewhere that there is another option called Directory Server and maybe that is possible to do. According to your experience do you recommend any 'how to' or 'tutorial' that will permit implement a PDC server for authenticating and sharing files and printers for windows and linux clients?
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"
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?
