Integrating LDAP with SAMBA

kalidoss · 12-09-2011, 11:26 PM

I have installed opensuse 11.3 in my system. Cofigured openLDAP server and Client on the same system. Also configured SAMBA server on same system.

As per document available in (FOR 10.3, I am using 11.3)
http://digiplan.eu.org/ldap-samba-howto-v4.html

If smb://user_name@netbiosname/ enters in nautilus, it is asking for DOMAIN name and password.
But it should ask username and password......??????

Any help????

Whatever you have specified in your WORKGROUP option in your smb.conf should be sufficient. IE:

Domain name: WORKGROUP\\<username>

It's been a long time since I've done Samba integrated with LDAP but years ago you could specify your workgroup name and the username and password provided would still try to bind to your LDAP server to authenticate.
