Syncing AD password with Samba
Post 302337218 by Keepcase on Thursday 23rd of July 2009 04:16:13 PM

Okay... I hope someone can clarify some of this for me 
(and correct my logic if I am not understanding the functionality if possible)
I've been searching and reading up on Samba and found a few options..
1.) I can have my my Samba server added to AD and have AD authenticate the windows user clients providing SSO to the Samba shares
2.) I can make the use of PAM and have the the smbpasswd change alongside the local unix password using passwd
3.) I can manually change the smbpasswd to match the AD password
4.) Is there anyway to make use of the LDAP AD password to sync with the smbpasswd?
Any Samba experts out there?
Thanks,
Keep
