Ubuntu Servers :: Propagate Ldap Password Change To Samba And Unix User Account?
Apr 21, 2010
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.
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?
how to export normal unix user to ldap I've unbuntu ldap server with some local users. I want to export all my local users to ldap database as a ldap users. Or if there is any configuration so that when ever a normal user is created then automatically an ldap user with the same name as the normal user will be created
I'd like for the server (10.04) to keep samba passwords and unix passwords "in sync"; i.e. when a user changes his unix password (via passwd), his Samba password is automatically changed to match the unix password. Similarly, when a user changes his samba password (via smbpasswd), then his unix password is changed to match. smb.conf seems to make provision for this; following are the applicable entries from my smb.conf:
After today's sudo upgrade on Karmic amd64, I am able to login only as root on my xubuntu system. Tried to change password on my user account but the result is the same.
I have a problem with my fedora workstation.I am trying to change my ldap user password through passwd command.When I first create the user on ldap server, I use md5 and create the user password.This is the entry:
I have configured Ldap Server in CentOS 5.4 & it's working fine, the problem is when I create a ldapuser from server the user can login in client machine but the user has no rights to change the password. How to rectify this by using commands.
I want to know how to change a password to an user account. Can someone give me the syntax on how to do this? I was using usermod but it's not working (usermod -p 123456 user1). Is there other way beside usermod? I am using RHEL5.
I have configured LDAP Server on RHEL 5.2 successfully and client can login to the server. But I do no how a client can change its LDAP password on his client machine.
I have installed servers(10.04 LTS Server) with Kerberos + LDAP, now I can ssh to all those servers and login with kerberos principle. But when I want to change password, I got such error:
Code: Current Kerberos password: Enter new Kerberos password: Retype new Kerberos password: Password change rejected: Password not changed. Kerberos database constraints violated while trying to change password.
passwd: Authentication token manipulation error passwd: password unchanged I have search this issue but cannot any useful information. Would someone give me a direction?
I have configured httpd web server to allow each of the system users to have their own web page (using UserDir directive).At the same time I have configured ftp server to allow the users to upload their html files to the web server.With above set up my users need not have any knowledge of linux; they can work from any windows PC on the network.There is no problem in the above.However, now I need to allow my users to change their passwords. The point here to note is that the users should be able to do this even from windows PC on the network. One of the way is to configure a telnet server (or sshd). But I find that the windows PC does not have telnet client.The other idea is that I should put a php script on the server which would take user name and password from the web page and then change the password. I don't know how can the system account password be changed through script - I will have to check this out.
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:
I have a Samba installed and configured on a Ubuntu Server 10.04 box, as a file server, not as an PDC. And I have several Windows 7 machines accessing the Ubuntu Server to store files.
I would like to let users to change their passwords from windows.
I recently configured my client to log on using my (open)ldap account. Since then I could not get thunderbird started from my ldap account. But if I su to one of the local accounts, it opens.
how to login with ubuntu ldap server account from ubuntu client(karmic). Ubuntu server and client setup is done properly but not knowing how to login to ldap server graphically from ubuntu client. I don't want to login via SSH
I tried to add a samba user account on an Ubuntu machine called "video" like I had on another Ubuntu machine, but it's telling me it already exists. At one point I had added the user via terminal, but the user did not show up in system-config-samba (the popular samba gui a lot of people use). So now I'm trying to re-add him and it's not working. Likewise, if I use terminal to sudo smbpasswd -x video, it says failed to find an entry for that user.
As far as I can tell, the user doesn't exist - yet I can't add him because it "already exists."
I have an existing unix user that some how didnt make it into the copy over to our LDAP server. How do I add an existing unix user to an existing LDAP directory? Will ldapadd work? I was under the impression ldapadd required an ldif file to work properly.
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.
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:

ldapadd -x -D cn=admin,cn=config -W -f /tmp/cn=samba.ldif.I can't login to LDAP server, it said that:

I am sure that the password is correct, but I still receive this message
I'm working on sharing a user's home folder using the username and password of the user's lLnux account. I noticed that home folder sharing is quite easy as I just need to change the smb.conf file to enable it. However I can't seem to login anyway. It seems that Samba keeps its own records of username and passwords. Is there a way that I can map/sync the Linux users' usernames and passwords automatically to Samba? The end result should be that whenever I add a new user or a user changes his/her Linux login password,Samba automatically changes its password as well.
I am using CentOS 5.6 and recently, well since I updated to 5.6 when I login through ssh/telnet I am prompted to change the password of any account which is my LDAP directory. Local accounts are unaffected. I haven't tried the console as this server is tucked away in a tiny room. This is really annoying because I don't want to run password expiry on that server and I'm sure that there's nothing in LDAP to indicate password expiry is on. My shadowmax is 9999 by default for every account..which is over 27 years I think. It's only started recently. I'd like to know how I can turn the expiry message off. I'd like to get rid of cracklib as well.
my etc/pam.d/sshd is #%PAM-1.0 auth include system-auth account required pam_nologin.so account include system-auth password include system-auth session optional pam_keyinit.so force revoke session include system-auth session required pam_loginuid.so

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 remember my password very well and have no need of password recovery. Everywhere I look it's how to recover and I don't want that. The kind where you boot into root recovery console to change the password.
I created email account with commands "adduser -s /sbin/nologin test; passwd test";Is there any way to grant permission to user "test" to change his password by himself? My system is CentOS 4.4.
I need to host a user directory and home directors on a Ubuntu 10.04 box. I've installed openLDAP and I can connect a mac to it. how to install the mac schema or add users etc to it. I can view the directory in Workgroup Manager on Mac OS X Server but I also dont know how to set the admin username or password.
