The SAMBA-LDAP-PDC Howto

1

Revision : 1.24

Introduction

I hope this document can help: it express our personal experience using Samba2 and OpenLDAP3
together to replace Microsoft Windows NT PDC (Primary Domain Controler).
This howto currently runs for :
• Samba-2.2.4,
• Microsoft Windows, Microsoft Windows NT 4 and Microsoft Windows 2000 Workstations,
• Linux RedHat 7.2 (should work on any Linux distro anyway 4 ),
• OpenLDAP 2.0.x (at least 2.0.11, we used 2.0.21 in this howto)
The last release (most up to date) of this document may be found on the http://samba.
idealx.org/ project page.
