[Freeipa-users] Ubuntu Samba Server Auth against IPA

[Christopher Lamb]

Hi Matt

For a "how to" of Samba FreeIPA integration using schema extensions, see
this previous thread

https://www.redhat.com/archives/freeipa-users/2015-May/msg00124.html

That should point to this techslaves article with the detailed instructions
that we followed:

http://techslaves.org/2011/08/24/freeipa-and-samba-3-integration/

The main reason we went that way is that we have no AD domain, which seems
to be required by other integration paths.

Note we are running FreeIPA and Samba on OEL servers (first 6.x, now 7.x).
So things may be different on Ubuntu.

As always, when changing the LDAP schema, an LDAP browser like Apache
Directory Studio is very useful to visualise what is going on and to verify
if your changes are present! (and is sometime easier to manually change
attributes rather than by LDAPMODIFY script....)

There is another ongoing thread in this mailing list about problems with
the attribute SambaPwdLastSet.

Hi,

This is nice to have confirmed.

Is it possible for you to descrive what you do ? It might be handy to
add this to the IPA documentation also with some explanation why...

Cheers,

Matt
