The OIDs used in this file are owned by +the Samba team and generated from its own Enterprise number +of 7165 (as issued by IANA). + +Copy the samba.schema file into your /etc/openldap/schema directory, +and add an include for it in the /etc/openldap/slapd.conf file. +Note that samba.schema relies upon the uid and uidNumber attributes +from the RFC2307 schema (i.e. nis.schema) + +If you choose to import /etc/passwd, nis, or nisplus tables +into ldap, you can use migration tools provided by PADL Software +which are located at + + http://www.padl.com/tools.html + +It is not a requirement that a user's /etc/passwd account +is stored in LDAP for the samba.schema file to work (although +the whole point of storing smbpasswd in LDAP is to have a +single location for user accounts, right?) + +The padl tools will leave you with LDIF files which you can import +into OpenLDAP. Before you can import them, you need to include +nis.schema and cosine.schema in your slapd.conf file. + +You must restart the LDAP server for these new included schema files +to become active. + +SunOne/Netscape DS +------------------ + +The schema file has not been updated for the sambaSamAccount +objectclass. + + +Novell eDirectory +----------------- + +The schema file has not been updated for the sambaSamAccount +objectclass. + + +smbldap-tools/ +-------------- + +This is a collection of perl scripts (wrapped around the standard +OpenLDAP command line tools) for managing Samba and posix accounts +in an LDAP directory. See the README file included with the scripts +for more details. + + +ldapsync.pl +----------- +For more information on these scripts, see + + http://www.mami.net/univr/tng-ldap/howto/ + + +The ldapsync.pl script requires a small command (smbencrypt) +for generating LanMan and NT password hashes which +can be found at ftp://samba.org/pub/samba/contributed/ + +!== +!== end of README +!== |
