[Fedora-directory-users] FDS - using one password for Samba and Linux accounts

[Saravana Kumar]

Hi List,

I have FDS configured in the server. There are windows and Linux client in
our network. Windows users also have Linux. 

Linux clients are authenticating to fds. Samba server is running in a
different server and refers to the fds server(ldapbackend). For windows i
had to create a separate password with smbpasswd -a username for each user
which means samba password can be different from Linux password. Also the
password policy doesn't apply to the smbpasswd i create.

Is there a way to use one password for both windows and linux logins?

TIA,
SK
