Hi,
Can I use IPA users as backend for samba i.e. can I access samba share
from windows system (XP) using ipa user authentication.

My settings are exactly the way it has been specified in the given
document.
http://www.dlt.com/sr/PDF/redhat/Securing_Samba_with_IPA-1.0.pdf

I think "passdb" parameter of smb.conf should point to IPA user database
but don't know how to do that.

currently it is pointing to smbpasswd as per the above document. 
With the current setup, I can access samba shares with smbclient -L
sambaserver.example.com command.

But smbclient -k -L sambaserver.example.com gives me error.
"cli_session_setup_blob: receive failed (NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE)
session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE"

please help.

Thanks....
Mahendra
