Hi list
Folks I am facing a boring problem which would
request some netapp gurus lights ...
We use OpenLDAP as centralized authentication
system with Samba for windows clients.
We have two filers ( F85 & F87 ) to store users
data.The first one is a NFS server to be used
by students and professors , it runs in UNIX
mode and is accessed thru Samba + NFS for windows
clients, this works slowly, but it works.
Now I want to setup a CIFS only filer for administrative
people that only use windows, the problem is I have no
**real** windows PDC as our samba servers are acting
as PDC to our windows clients.
The problem is it is IMPOSSIBLE to tell the filer
to use the Samba PDC as it seems to require a real
M$ PDC which I haven't.
It is MANDATORY for us to keep our unique and centralized
authentication system with OpenLDAP as we have several
platforms that *all* use LDAP.
( Windows, HP-UX, Debian Linux, FreeBSD, Red Hat Linux ... )
The question is : what is the solution to make a CIFS only filer ?
Does any of you has ever start an Active Directory server as
a slave of the OpenLDAP master ???
Thanks for any info.
