idmap_ldap

Hi All,

I have setup ldap server and is working fine. My home directories resides on different machines and I have setup auto-mounter so if I want to see my colleges home directory it can be mounted on my machine.

Now I wanted to configure it so that windows user can see his home directory once they gets authenticated from their local machines.

For example: I will login to my windows machines using local credentials then after this if I browse for \\yogesh or \\machinename\yogesh it will go to my home directory.

For this I found one article on

PHP Code:


			
http://www.samba.org/samba/docs/man/manpages/idmap_ldap.8.html

I configured my smb.conf as below

Code:

[global]
#   workgroup = WINBANG
#       workgroup = WORKGROUP
        idmap config * : backend = tdb
        idmap config * : range = 1000-1999999

        idmap config * : backend = ldap
        idmap config * : range = 2000000-2999999
        idmap config * : read only = yes
        idmap config * : ldap_url = ldap://ldap.xx.xx.com
        idmap config * : ldap_base_dn = ou=idmap,dc=xx,dc=xx,dc=com
        idmap config * : ldap_user_dn = cn=idmap_admin,dc=xx,dc=xx,dc=com

But still I am not able to browse my home directory.

Could you please let me know do I need to do more configuration?

Regards,
Yogesh

Aside from double-posting this question, you don't provide ANY of the details we'd need to be able to help you. You don't tell us what version/distro of Linux, version of Samba, or what you mean by "not able to browse". Without any information from any of the log files, details about what you're running, or what error(s)/message(s) you're seeing, there's no way for us to even GUESS as to what could be wrong.

You seem to have only copied/pasted the examples from the Samba page...did you read and understand them??? Read about what the different variables do? See anything in your LDAP logs when someone tries to log in? Getting ANY results at all???

Hey TB0ne thanks for the reply.

I am using samba-3.6 on CentOS 6.3 OS. I am not getting any log messages.

And you're still not answering the other questions, and unless you have ANY log messages, there's nothing anyone can help you with. Again:

What you mean by "not able to browse".
Information from the log files regarding Samba, LDAP, or authentication logs. Without any information about what error(s)/message(s) you're seeing, there's no way for us to even GUESS as to what could be wrong.

You double-posted the question, and with zero information, there's nothing anyone, anywhere, can help you with.
