The following instructions describe how to configure LDAP client on Samba server to look-up user and group names. Thanks to Liam Smyth for help with this!
apt-get install libnss-ldap
Here is the initial configuration details:
LDAP Server Host: ccdc1.mydomain.com (No harm adding this to hosts if it isn't there already) DN of Search Base: dc=ccdc,dc=lan LDAP Version: 3 Database requires login: no Make config readable by owner only: yes
Edit /etc/libnss-ldap.conf:
host ccdc1.mydomain.com # The distinguished name of the search base. base dc=ccdc,dc=lan rootbinddn cn=admin,dc=ccdc,dc=lan
Add password (use a good password here!):
echo -n "password_here" > /etc/libnss-ldap.secret
Edit /etc/nsswitch.conf
passwd: compat ldap group: compat ldap
And of course do getent group to confirm. If getent doesn't do it, try a restart of SSH.
