vim /et c/samba/smb.conf

find:

passdb backend=tdsam

and replace it with:

passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://127.0.0.1
ldap suffix = dc=nomis52,dc=net
ldap machine suffix = ou=machines
ldap user suffix = ou=users
ldap group suffix = ou=groups
ldap admin dn = cn=admin,dc=nomis52,dc=net
ldap delete dn = no

# be a PDC
domain logons = yes

# allow user privileges
enable privileges = yes

make sure testparm executed successfully:

testparm

smbpasswd -w password
/etc/init.d/samba restart

Log back into phpldapadmin and verify that the ?DomainName record exists below the root create the following Samba3 Mappings under the groups OU:

Machine Name UID (machinename)$ 30000

• 53.execute - smbpwd -a root 54.enter your root password (password) 55.go to your windows machine and right-click on mycomputer and select properties 56.on the name tab select change 57.select the domain radio button and enter buster.lan and click ok 58.enter root for the username 59.enter your password (password) 60.you should see a welcome to the buster.lan domain message and then reboot and you can log in using user from your LDAP database.
