Dear All.

I am using RHEL 4.0 and configured Samba Server with Open LDAP.

MY problem is that users are unable to change there password, it takes that password only when user was first time created, after that if u change the passowrd Samba Server does not take the passowrd and users are unable to login

I am using PHP Ldap admin tool to acees LDAP.

Pls help me.

Regards.
Puppen.

Dear puppen,

It works for me but i don't have OpenLDAP. May be try out with one account.

Ok what kind of samba account information databases you are using? ldapsam? if so use smbldap-passwd.pl script to set or change password

Use smbpasswd command. If SAMBA server is configured properly with LDAP, smbpasswd should able to change or set a password for user.
Add user foo
Add workstation w100
If you want sync password then you make sure smb.conf has following entry:
or
This option is used to define whether or not Samba should sync the LDAP password with the NT and LM hashes for normal accounts (NOT for workstation, server or domain trust on a password change via SAMBA. See url http://www.unav.es/cti/ldap-smb/smb-ldap-3-howto.html

Dear Tom.

I am using passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://
