[Fedora-directory-users] FDS and Samba3

[Raj Seenivasan]

I have 2 questions to ask. I searched the list and couldn't find  
anything related...

1. Is there a way to setup samba and FDS on 2 different boxes and use  
FDS as the backend for samba?
FDS wiki (http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:Samba) has  
instructions to setup both samba and fds on the same box.
What special steps needs to be done if on 2 different boxes?

2. I had setup samba+fds on a single box and password syncing works  
only one way.
FDS --> Samba sync is not working. Passwords changed using smbpasswd  
gets synced with fds.
Am I missing something?

Thanks.

There is currently no way to have FDS -> Samba password sync (that is, 
have updates to userPassword automatically update sambaLMPassword and 
sambaNTPassword).

Thanks.
Is it possible to setup samba on one box and use fds as the backend  
running on a second box?

I don't see why not, but I don't know.

Hi Raj

I believe it should be possible to setup samba and Fedora Directory Server
on Different boxes.

For example

if i have setup Fedora directory server on one box and if it's called
ldap.example.com

and samba on different box say samba.example.com

then my smb.conf would have below entries, i am just providing only those
entries where we have to mention the ldap server name.
[global]
passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://ldap.example.com
idmap backend = ldap:ldap://ldap.example.com

And if you are using samba.schema and idealx scripts, then your
smbldap.confwould contain

slaveLDAP="<ip-address-of slave-ldap-server of Fedora Directory Server"
# If not defined, parameter is set to "389"
slavePort="389"
masterLDAP="ldap.example.com/Ip-address-of-fedora directory server"
masterPort="389"

I hope the above helps.

Regards
Niranjan
