SMBLDAP-TOOLS SAMBA LDAP . Problem when filling ldap.

Hello,

I am trying to modify smbldap-populate for filling people user in the people ou field, and computers in the computer ou field.

I want this organization :

people user in : "ou=people,ou=user,dc=ldap_srv,dc=net"
computer user in : "ou=computers,ou=user,dc=ldap_srv,dc=net"


Which relationships (IF ANY IS MANDATORY) is there between LDAP definitions in smb.conf

ldap suffix = dc=ldap_srv,dc=net
ldap machine suffix = ou=??????????????????????
ldap user suffix = ou=???????????????????????
ldap group suffix = ou=Groups
ldap domain suffix = ou=Domains


and LDAP definitions in smbldap.conf


# LDAP Suffix
suffix="dc=ldap_srv,dc=net"

# Domain name the Samba server is in charged.
sambaDomain="MON-DOMAINE.NWK"

# Where are stored peoples and computers
usersdn="ou=Users,${suffix}"

# Where are stored groups
groupsdn="ou=Groups,${suffix}"

# Where are stored domains
domainsdn="ou=Domains,${suffix}"

# Where are stored peoples
peoplesdn="ou=Peoples, ou=Users,${suffix}"

# Where are stored computers
computersdn="ou=Computers, ou=Users,${suffix}"

# Where to store next uidNumber and gidNumber available for new users and groups
# If not defined, entries are stored in sambaDomainName object.
sambaUnixIdPooldn="sambaDomainName=MON-DOMAINE.NET,ou=Domains,${suffix}"


When I start smbldap-populate, I get the following errors :

Use of uninitialized value in pattern match (m//) at /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-populate line 179.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-populate line 180.
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/local/sbin/smbldap-populate line 190
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at


Lignes 179, 180 et 190, ..... which are relatives to ou=computers et à ou=peoples, ............

I have no errors about ou=users ( parent of computer and people ).
I have no errors about ou=Domains parent for sambaUnixIdPooldn.

The ldif file is generated, but there is some blank field about ou computer field and ou people field.

Thank you for any help.

 

i dont think you can put a single object into multiple ou, if it is possible you should leave it alone until you get more comfortable with ldap. try instead

computers in: "ou=computers,dc=ldap-srv,dc=net"
users in: "ou=People,dc=ldap-srv,dc=net"

they are all required for your setup to work, use
ldap user suffix = ou=Users
ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers

they are all required for the setup to work. if your smb.conf is setup correctly (execute # testparm to find out) you can use /usr/share/doc/smbldap-tools-0.9.4/configure.pl to configure you smbldap_bind and smbldap.conf for you automatically. just enter the password for you ldap server when the script asks you

 

For now I can't do any test. I have change my PC and done a fresh install. But I ran into some other samba problem. See my today's post about port 139 wich is closed.

 

I would use phpldapadmin for this (add/remove) task. If you want to setup again follow this www.freetech.selfip.info/smbldap.php

 

As it seems too difficult to modify smbldap tools I did the job by hand.

Have generate the ldif file

smbldap-populate -e an_ldif_file ​

Have edit the ldif file to fill blank file accordingly with my ldap schema

before edit​

dn: ou=Peoples,ou=Users,dc=ldap_hathor,dc=nwk
objectClass: top
objectClass: organizationalUnit
ou:
description: 5 - Container pour les Personnes

after edit​

dn: ou=Peoples,ou=Users,dc=ldap_hathor,dc=nwk
objectClass: top
objectClass: organizationalUnit
ou: Peoples
description: 5 - Container pour les Personnes

and load the ldif file :

slapadd -b a_domain -v -l an_ldif_file

Thanks everybody for your time.
