OpenLDAP + Samba Domain Controller On Ubuntu 7.10
This document is a step by step guide for configuring Ubuntu 7.10 as
a Samba Domain Controller with an LDAP backend (OpenLDAP). The point is
to configure a server that can be comparable, from a central
authentication point of view, to a Windows Server 2003 Domain
Controller. The end result will be a server with an LDAP directory for
storing user, group, and computer accounts. A Windows XP Professional
SP2 workstation will be able to join the domain once properly
configured.
