Hi All

I am new in this area

What I am try now is
Setting up a new Samba Server to share folder to my existing Domain users which uses LDAP for authenication.

Btw,I have already setup the Samba server and it is able to share out folder to Windows stations by itself which mean I set the smb.conf file
secuirty = shared

but If i wanted the shared folder to be authenicate thru my LDAP server
What should I set or configure

Do anyone up here,

Regards
Chriscng

Some distro's have a wizard to use AD or LDAP or winbind for authentication. It is the users who authenticate, not the share. You might want to pick up "Using Samba" in the book store to configure a server in an AD network. If you use LDAP, then the free versions of "Samba 3 by Example", "Samba 3 HOWTO & Reference Guide", & Using Samba 2nd Edition will cover this. They may be distributed with the Samba package or in a Samba-doc package. The setup process is involved, including /etc/nsswitch.conf, PAM, /etc/hosts.conf, equating some Windows users & groups with Samba ones by running a migration script, etc. The "Using Samba" book configures samba so that it behaves as a Windows Domain controller and allows a member of the Window's Network Administrator's group to use Windows tools for many tasks.

Security = Share is obsolete. You are using Windows 95 technology in an AD or LDAP network environment.
