To create a centralized authentication system where both Windows and Linux/Unix client can authenticate against follow this tutorial.

Install LDAP and Samba

LDAP Server
Samba Server

Configure LDAP for Samba

Install samba-doc to get the samba schema file and copy the schema to the right location

apt-get install samba-doc
zcat /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/examples/LDAP/samba.schema.gz > /etc/ldap/schema/samba.schema

Edit /etc/ldap/slapd.conf to add 2 schemas

include         /etc/ldap/schema/samba.schema
include         /etc/ldap/schema/misc.schema

Add the indexing options in /etc/ldap/slapd.conf

index ou,cn,sn,mail,givenname           eq,pres,sub
index uidNumber,gidNumber,memberUid     eq,pres
index loginShell                        eq,pres
index uniqueMember                      eq,pres
index uid                               pres,sub,eq
index displayName                       pres,sub,eq
index sambaSID                          eq
index sambaPrimaryGroupSID              eq
index sambaDomainName                   eq
index default                           sub

Change access rules in /etc/ldap/slapd.conf

access to attrs=userPassword,sambaNTPassword,sambaLMPassword,sambaPwdMustChange,sambaPwdLastSet
	by dn="cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com" write
	by self write
	by anonymous auth
	by * none

access to attrs=shadowLastChange,shadowMax
	by dn="cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com" write
	by self write
	by * read

Restart de OpenLDAP server

/etc/init.d/slapd restart

Configure Samba for LDAP

Create the profile and netlogon directories

mkdir /var/lib/samba/profiles
chmod 777 /var/lib/samba/profiles
mkdir /var/lib/samba/netlogon

Replace the contents of /etc/samba/smb.conf

[global]
 # Domain name ..

 # Server name - as seen by Windows PCs ..

 # Be a PDC ..

 # Use LDAP for Samba user accounts and groups ..

 # This is done by running 'sudo smbpasswd -w'.

Change these lines to match your configuration:

• workgroup = EXAMPLE
• netbios name = SERVERNAME
• ldap suffix = dc=example,dc=com
• ldap admin dn = cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com

Store LDAP password for Samba use (Make sure the password you enter is the same as the one you entered during LDAP setup):

smbpasswd -W

• New SMB password: <password>
• Retype new SMB password: <password>

Restart Samba:

/etc/init.d/samba restart

smbldap-tools

apt-get install smbldap-tools

Copy the example configfiles

cat /usr/share/doc/smbldap-tools/examples/smbldap_bind.conf > /etc/smbldap-tools/smbldap_bind.conf
zcat /usr/share/doc/smbldap-tools/examples/smbldap.conf.gz > /etc/smbldap-tools/smbldap.conf

Retrieve the Samba SID

net getlocalsid

Change these line in /etc/smbldap-tools/smbldap.conf to match your configuration:

• #SID=
• sambaDomain
• suffix
• userSmbHome
• userProfile
• mailDomain

Change the lines in /etc/smbldap-tools/smbldap_bind.conf to match you configuration:

slaveDN="cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com"
slavePw="the password you entered during ldap configuration"
masterDN="cn=admin,dc=example,dc=com"
masterPw="the password you entered during ldap configuration"

Set the correct permissions:

chmod 0644 /etc/smbldap-tools/smbldap.conf
chmod 0600 /etc/smbldap-tools/smbldap_bind.conf 

Start the engine

Now it's time to populate the directory with default samba information

smbldap-populate

• Enter the password for the domain root user (yes also on Windows it's called root now)

Index the OpenLDAP server

/etc/init.d/slapd stop
slapindex
chown -R openldap:openldap /var/lib/ldap
/etc/init.d/slapd start

Make root admin

Make root part of the Administrators group so they can administer the domain.

smbldap-groupmod -m 'root' 'Administrators'

Client authentication

Follow the LDAP Client to let the server samba is running on do its authentication via LDAP. Also use this guide to configure the regular Linux/Unix and Windows clients.

Add users

smbldap-useradd -a -m -M <local mail part> -P -N <givenname> -S <surname> -c "<Full name>" <username>

• New password: <password>
• Retype new password: <password>
