!== !== README File for various LDAP examples !== !== written by Gerald Carter !== OpenLDAP 2.x ------------ A sample schema file (samba.schema) has been included for use with OpenLDAP 2.0.x. The OIDs used in this file are owned by the Samba team and generated from its own Enterprise number of 7165 (as issued by IANA). Copy the samba.schema file into your /etc/openldap/schema directory, and add an include for it in the /etc/openldap/slapd.conf file. Note that samba.schema relies upon the uid and uidNumber attributes from the RFC2307 schema (i.e. nis.schema) If you choose to import /etc/passwd, nis, or nisplus tables into ldap, you can use migration tools provided by PADL Software which are located at http://www.padl.com/tools.html It is not a requirement that a user's /etc/passwd account is stored in LDAP for the samba.schema file to work (although the whole point of storing smbpasswd in LDAP is to have a single location for user accounts, right?) The padl tools will leave you with LDIF files which you can import into OpenLDAP. Before you can import them, you need to include nis.schema and cosine.schema in your slapd.conf file. You must restart the LDAP server for these new included schema files to become active. SunOne/Netscape DS ------------------ The schema file has not been updated for the sambaSamAccount objectclass. Novell eDirectory ----------------- The schema file has not been updated for the sambaSamAccount objectclass. smbldap-tools/ -------------- This is a collection of perl scripts (wrapped around the standard OpenLDAP command line tools) for managing Samba and posix accounts in an LDAP directory. See the README file included with the scripts for more details. ldapsync.pl ----------- For more information on these scripts, see http://www.mami.net/univr/tng-ldap/howto/ The ldapsync.pl script requires a small command (smbencrypt) for generating LanMan and NT password hashes which can be found at ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/contributed/ !== !== end of README !==
