HP CIFS Server Administrator's Guide (5900-1282, April 2011)

Table 13 Global Parameters (continued)
DescriptionParameter
Specifies whether the HP CIFS Server should sync the LDAP password
with the NT and LM hashes for normal accounts on a password
change. This option can be set to one of three values:
• Yes: Update the LDAP, NT and LM passwords and update the
pwdLastSet time.
• No: Update NT and LM passwords and update the pwdLastSet
time.
• Only: Only update the LDAP password and let the LDAP server do
the rest.
The default value is No.
ldap passwd sync
When Samba is requested to write to a read-only LDAP replica, it is
redirected to talk to the read-write master server. This server then
replicates the changes back to the local server. The replication might
take some seconds, especially over slow links. Certain client activities
can become confused by the 'success' that does not immediately
change the LDAP back-end's data. This option simply causes Samba
to wait a short time and allows the LDAP server to catch up. The value
is specified in milliseconds, the maximum value is 5000 (5 seconds).
By default, ldapreplication sleep = 1000 (1 second).
ldap replication sleep
Specifies in seconds how long the HP CIFS Server waits for the LDAP
server to respond to the connect request if the LDAP server is down
or unreachable. The defualt value is 15 (in seconds).
ldap timeout
Specifies the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) support. HP CIFS Server
A.02.03 or later supports theldap ssl = start_tls option.
Specifies Yes to enable this feature using the port number 636 to
connect to the LDAP directory server. If you choose to use Start TLS,
set it to start_tls to enable SSL using port number 389 to connect to
the LDAP directory server. To disable SSL , set it to No. By default,
this parameter is set to No.

Configuring LDAP Feature Support
After installing the HP CIFS Server, the existing configuration continues to operate as currently
configured. To enable the LDAP support, you must configure the relative LDAP configuration
parameters in the /etc/opt/samba/smb.conf file by using the SWAT tool or the editor.
NOTE: HP recommends that new installation customers run the samba_setup program to set
up and configure the HP CIFS Server.
You can quickly run the samba_setup program to configure the HP CIFS Server with the LDAP
feature support as follows:
1. Run the following commands to enable the LDAP feature:
$ export PATH=$PATH:/opt/samba/bin
$ samba_setup
When running the samba_setup program, you will be asked whether you want to use LDAP
or not. Press Yes to use LDAP, and press No to disable LDAP.
