Operating Systems Solaris Syncing AD password with Samba Post 302335883 by Keepcase on Monday 20th of July 2009 05:01:52 PM

Is there anybody out there that knows of a solution?

We have an LDAP server that can query for AD information; we can make our Solaris box running the Samba server an LDAP client but currently the box is setup with NIS

Is there any other possible way for AD to update the smbpasswd on the Samba server so users would only need to change their AD password once every few weeks as opposed to changing their AD password as well as their smbpasswd?

Any solutions with Samba or cheap alternatives?

Any help of any sort would be greatly appreciated!

regdiff compares two Windows registry files key by key and value by value and generates a text file that contains the differences between the two files. A file generated by regdiff can later be applied to a registry file by the regpatch utility. regdiff and regpatch use the same file format as the regedit32.exe utility from Windows. OPTIONS
--help Show list of available options. --backend BACKEND Name of backend to load. Possible values are: creg, regf, dir and rpc. The default is dir. This argument can be specified twice: once for the first registry file and once for the second. --credentials=CREDENTIALS Credentials to use, if any. Password should be separated from user name by a percent sign. This argument can be specified twice: once for the first registry file and once for the second. VERSION
This man page is correct for version 4.0 of the Samba suite. SEE ALSO
gregedit, regshell, regpatch, regtree, samba, patch, diff AUTHOR
This utility is part of the Samba[1] suite, which is developed by the global Samba Team[2]. This manpage and regdiff were written by Jelmer Vernooij. NOTES
