Hi

Yes i use it with samba as pdc. My /etc/ldap.conf look like this

host localhost
base dc=example,dc=com
bindpw secret
binddn cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com
#rootbinddn cn=Manager,dc=example,dc=com
ssl no
pam_filter objectclass=posixAccount
pam_login_attribute uid
pam_password md5


I did this some time ago, so i dont remember all of it. But I noticed that
what order the lines are in here was a issue too
