Dear Mike,


I want to authenticate against LDAP hosted on RHEL.
I tried this howto already, but it fails.
I get errors like this:

[2009/01/01 17:48:47, 0] auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_administrators(792)
create_builtin_administrators: Failed to create Administrators
[2009/01/01 17:48:47, 0] auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_users(758)
create_builtin_users: Failed to create Users
[2009/01/01 17:48:47, 0] auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_administrators(792)

[2009/01/01 17:48:47, 0] auth/auth_util.c:create_builtin_users(758)
create_builtin_users: Failed to create Users


Kind regards,

Check your smb.conf file - what value do you have for "idmap backend"? There is a problem with winbind with certain values for idmap backend that bork up "builtin" group creation. Save what you have for that value, set it back to "idmap backend = tdc", run "net sam createbuiltingroup", then go back into smb.conf and put idmap backend back to what it was before. After that, restart samba and winbind.

I hope that works out for you.

Can you post your smb.conf and the output of smbstatus and testparm?

Mike,


This is what I get:

net sam createbuiltingroup Administrators
Creating Administrators failed with NT_STATUS_ACCESS_DENIED

Question: when you had LDAP set up on this box before, did you use the same domain/workgroup name?

Also, how are your group mappings set up? What does "net groupmap list" give you?

If you need to redo your group mappings, there is a great web page at
http://www.mrp3.com/windows-to-unix-samba.html - it has tons of information on group
mappings and other related items, including a script to do the group associations for
you.

Mike,


Thank you so for.

net groupmap list


The mapgroup.sh fails:

adding entry for group Domain Admins failed!
adding entry for group Domain Users failed!
adding entry for group Domain Guests failed!
No rid or sid specified, choosing a RID
Got RID 1013
adding entry for group Administrators failed!

So I am as puzzled as you are.

I use the same domain/workgroupname.
