The SAMBA-LDAP-PDC Howto

4.1

Revision : 1.24

Schemas

First, copy the Samba samba.schema to /etc/openldap/schema/samba.schema.
You’ll find this Samba schema shipped with the Samba-2.2.4 release (/example/LDAP/samba.schema
in the source package, or in /usr/share/doc/samba-2.2.4/examples/LDAP/samba.schema if
you used the modified RedHat RawHide package to build and install Samba)
If you plan using inetOrgPerson schema, then edit this schema to comment the ’displayName’ attributetype. In this Howto, we’ll use inetOrgPerson schema who already define this
attributetype. You can have a look on 22.1 on page 51 to see a sample ’patched’ Samba
schema. If you don’t use inetOrgPerson, then you don’t need to comment the ’displayName’
in the samba.schema. In this Howto we’ve used inetOrgPerson because we want to merge
organizational datas with technical datas, in a technical directory. It’s not mandatory : feel
free to use a context who feet your needs.

Finally, start your OpenLDAP server : /etc/init.d/ldap start. Everything should work fine. If
not :
• verify your schemas,
