I have a server that I use as a domain controller with samba. It's fairly simple, I don't have ldap or pam or nss.
I need to add ldap functionality to it, and I also need to make global address books available to the Outlook users for a new email gateway we will be using.
Is open ldap all I need? I've been reading samba 3 by example and am unsure what all I need to get going.
Anyone have some time to communicate with me off list about this? On list is fine too, I jsut didn't want to add too much noise.
---- Yes, OpenLDAP is all you need but it's hard to learn LDAP and samba integration all in one whack. Once you understand LDAP, samba integration is simple.
nss / padl / pam only comes into play if you intend to use LDAP for authentication.
