3.1 Provisioning Database
3.1: Provisioning Database
We are going to manually create our initial LDAP database in a text file and be confident to use it in a full production environment.
Our LDAP database structure will look like the following if using the preload ldif as per section 3.2 Preload LDIF
|-Samba Base
|---Manager
|------syncuser
|------sambaadmin
|------mailadmin
|---------Users
|-----------People
|-------------------root
|-------------------asender
|-------------------simo
|-----------Computers
|-------------------workstation1$ |-------------------workstation2$
|---------Groups
|-----------Domain Admin
|-------------------root
|---------- Domain Users
|-------------------root
|-------------------asender
|-------------------simo
|------------ Domain Guests
|--------------------nobody
|------------ Domain Computers
|--------------------workstation1$
|--------------------workstation2$
|----------Domains
|-------------sambaDomainName
Step1
Delete all runtime files from prior Samba operation by executing;
[root@node1]# rm /etc/samba/*tdb
[root@node1]# rm /var/lib/samba/*tdb
[root@node1]# rm /var/lib/samba/*dat
[root@node1]# rm /var/log/samba/*
Step2
Delete any previous LDAP database
[root@node1]# cd /var/lib/ldap
[root@node1]# rm –rf *
Step3
Login to node2 - the backup domain controller, and do the same.
Step4
[root@node1 ~]# net getlocalsid
SID for domain NODE1 is: S-1-5-21-3809161173-2687474671-1432921517
Your SID will differ to the one above; you will need to alter the preload LDIF as per below.
Step5
Login to your backup domain controller (node2) and type the following command using the SID obtained from step4.
[root@node2 ~]# net setlocalsid S-1-5-21-3809161173-2687474671-1432921517
