Hello,
I am using Centos 6 with 389 DS. Everything is working, I can authenticate my users against it etc.
Now I am trying to make Samba authenticate against the LDAP by following http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Howto:Samba
However, it seems that Samba does not read the 'password' value, but 'sambaNTPassword'. I wrote in 389-DS mailing list and they said, that there is no way to make Samba read the 'password'. So I must end with two password (Samba and "normal" one). I can not sync them, since crypt algorithms are different and I can not just copy/paste the password to sambaNTPassword.
Did someone else had this issue? I need some file sharing software (can be even a web application), which can authenticate against LDAP, so all the people have one password for authentication.
