http://serverfault.com – I am trying to change the Active Directory (on a Windows 2008 server) from a CentOS 6.2 machine over openLDAP. I have tried passwd, ldappasswd and trying to see if I can do it with Samba without the use of TSL/SSL/SASL. Is this possible? (HowTos)

Stories similar to Changing Active Directory password over LDAP using passwd/ldappasswd/Samba

becase I installed a ldap server, I am making a server client authentication for server users but having problem with password thing. if I put a password in add ldif file and put some encoding tag in front of the password like {crypt}somepassword and add it to ldap as new user it works.

I have a SLES11 x86_64 server running the versions of Samba, MIT Kerberos 5, SASL, OpenLDAP client supported by Novell, and have Active Directory integration as a member server working quite nicely, including enumeration of users and groups through nsswitch (getent passwd, getent group).

Samba 4.0 has been released 23 weeks 2 hours ago

The Samba development team has just announced the release of Samba 4.0.

I tried to share the directory /home/me/music with Samba.

Hi,

Are there any instructions or tutorials on how to set up Samba with an existing Active Directory domain with openSUSE 11.1 and 3.2 Samba?

All of the ones I've found are for previous versions and have a note on them saying they need to be updated for the current version. They also don't seem to work with the the version I have.

I currently have a Samba share setup where I would like to share Unix folders with Windows users, with Active directory as the backend.

Six years after their last major release, the Samba developers have released version 4.0 of their file server.

Can I create a domain using SAMBA and set up Active Directory with SAMBA on it? And by this I mean no windows servers involved. I would also like to be able to log in from a Windows machine. Preferably on OpenSuSE.

My objective is to have a domain with centralized authentication just like AD.

I am user xyz on redhat linux VM abc.

I cannot change password.

abc:/home/xyz>passwd Changing password for user xyz. Changing password for xyz (current) UNIX password: Password changes on the command line are not supported.
