Google has quite a bit on this. Have you tried to look up the error there? Do you have the mandatory groups on your LDAP database?

Code:

Domain Users

Domain Guests

Domain Admins

Did you set up the appropriate rights with the "net rights grant" command?

Take a look at the smbldap-tools scripts:

https://gna.org/projects/smbldap-tools/

Chapter 5 of the "Samba 3 by Example" book can be very useful to you. It
deals Samba with LDAP configuration. Look here:

Thanks TBOne

I solved the problem , there was some error in smb.conf configuration

It would help others if you posted the exact solution, so we'd all know how to solve the problem. Clicking "thanks" wouldn't hurt either.
