+>Introduction</A
+></H1
+><P
+>Traditionally, when configuring <A
+HREF="smb.conf.5.html#ENCRYPTPASSWORDS"
+TARGET="_top"
+>"encrypt
+passwords = yes"</A
+> in Samba's <TT
+CLASS="FILENAME"
+>smb.conf</TT
+> file, user account
+information such as username, LM/NT password hashes, password change times, and account
+flags have been stored in the <TT
+CLASS="FILENAME"
+>smbpasswd(5)</TT
+> file. There are several
+disadvantages to this approach for sites with very large numbers of users (counted
+in the thousands).</P
+><P
+>The first is that all lookups must be performed sequentially. Given that
+there are approximately two lookups per domain logon (one for a normal
+session connection such as when mapping a network drive or printer), this
+is non-optimal. What is needed is an indexed approach such as is used in
+databases.</P
+><P
+>The second problem is that administrators which desired to replicate an
+smbpasswd file to more than one Samba server were left to use external
+tools such as <B
+CLASS="COMMAND"
+>rsync(1)</B
+> and <B
+CLASS="COMMAND"
+>ssh(1)</B
+>
+and write custom, in-house scripts.</P
+><P
+>And finally, the amount of information which is stored in an
+smbpasswd entry leaves no room for additional attributes such as
+a home directory, password expiration time, or even a Relative
+Identified (RID).</P
+><P
+>As a result of these defeciencies, a more robust means of storing user attributes
+used by smbd was developed. The API which defines access to user accounts
+is referred to as the samdb interface (previously this was called the passdb
+API, and is still so named in the CVS trees). In Samba 2.2.3, enabling support
+for a samdb backend (e.g. <TT
+CLASS="PARAMETER"
+><I
+>--with-ldapsam</I
+></TT
+> or
+<TT
+CLASS="PARAMETER"
+><I
+>--with-tdbsam</I
+></TT
+>) requires compile time support.</P
+><P
+>When compiling Samba to include the <TT
+CLASS="PARAMETER"
+><I
+>--with-ldapsam</I
+></TT
+> autoconf
+option, smbd (and associated tools) will store and lookup user accounts in
+an LDAP directory. In reality, this is very easy to understand. If you are
+comfortable with using an smbpasswd file, simply replace "smbpasswd" with
+"LDAP directory" in all the documentation.</P
+><P
+>There are a few points to stress about what the <TT
+CLASS="PARAMETER"
+><I
+>--with-ldapsam</I
+></TT
+>
+does not provide. The LDAP support referred to in the this documentat does not

+>A means of retrieving user account information from
+ an Windows 2000 Active Directory server.</P
+></LI
+><LI
+><P
+>A means of replacing /etc/passwd.</P
+></LI
+></UL
+><P
+>The second item can be accomplished by using LDAP NSS and PAM modules. LGPL
+versions of these libraries can be obtained from PADL Software
+(<A

+>The LDAP samdb code in 2.2.3 has been developed and tested using the OpenLDAP
+2.0 server and client libraries. The same code should be able to work with
+Netscape's Directory Server and client SDK. However, due to lack of testing
+so far, there are bounds to be compile errors and bugs. These should not be
+hard to fix. If you are so inclined, please be sure to forward all pacthes to

+>Samba 2.2.3 includes the necessary schema file for OpenLDAP 2.0 in
+<TT

+>examples/LDAP/samba.schema</TT
+>. (Note that this schema
+file has been modified since the experimental support initially included
+in 2.2.2). The sambaAccount objectclass is given here:</P

+HREF="jerry@samba.org"
+TARGET="_top"
+>jerry@samba.org</A
+></P
+><P
+>Just as the smbpasswd file is mean to store information which supplements a
+user's <TT
+CLASS="FILENAME"
+>/etc/passwd</TT
+> entry, so is the sambaAccount object
+meant to supplement the UNIX user account information. A sambaAccount is a
+<TT
+CLASS="CONSTANT"
+>STRUCTURAL</TT
+> objectclass so it can be stored individually
+in the directory. However, there are several fields (e.g. uid) which overlap
+with the posixAccount objectclass outlined in RFC2307. This is by design.</P
+><P
+>In order to store all user account information (UNIX and Samba) in the directory,
+it is necessary to use the sambaAccount and posixAccount objectclasses in
+combination. However, smbd will still obtain the user's UNIX account
+information via the standard C library calls (e.g. getpwnam(), et. al.).
+This means that the Samba server must also have the LDAP NSS library installed
+and functioning correctly. This division of information mkes it posible to
+store all Samba account information in LDAP, but still maintain UNIX account
+information in NIS while the network is transitioning to a full LDAP infratrsucture.</P
+><P
+>To include support for the sambaAccount object in an OpenLDAP directory
+server, first copy the samba.schema file to slapd's configuration directory.</P

+><TT
+CLASS="PROMPT"
+>root# </TT

+><P
+>Next, include the <TT
+CLASS="FILENAME"
+>samba.schema</TT
+> file in <TT
+CLASS="FILENAME"
+>slapd.conf</TT
+>.
+The sambaAccount object contains two attributes which depend upon other schema
+files. The 'uid' attribute is defined in <TT

+>cosine.schema</TT
+> and
+the 'displayName' attribute is defined in the <TT
