Hi
Does anybody has already used a samba server as PDC for a filer ?
We actually use samba servers with LDAP (openldap) authentication and I wonder if it would be possible to use a filer in such configuration ? Actually PCs use samba servers as PDC, the samba servers use NFS to store user's data thru NFS mounts. I know it is far to be the best configuration and I would like to let PC users use SMB directly to the filer using samba servers as PDC only.
infos welcome.
Thanks a lot
unfortunatelly, this is not possible, u can't integrate a Filer in a samba domain.
the reson is a slight difference in the way names are exchanged
i forget the exact reason, it's a lack of support on Netapp side
try to search back in the toaster archive may help you

I did not try it myself but there is KB article on NOW:
----------
Solution ID: ntapcs7632 Title: Does NetApp officially support Samba as a supported protocol? NetApp filer
Problem Description: Does NetApp officially support Samba as a supported protocol?
Fix: NetApp currently supports CIFS clients, including all flavors of Windows, DAVE from Thursby, the new client in Apple's version 10 OS, and others, including Samba.
Note that if a CIFS transaction between the filer and a non-Windows host fails, while the same transaction is successful between a Windows host, suspicion should be drawn first to the client, rather than the filer. This is because our NetApp's first priority is to be compatible with Windows host.

Eyal Traitel from NetApp pointed me that mentioned KB article concerned only Samba as client, not PDC...
