Hi Raj I believe it should be possible to setup samba and Fedora Directory Server on Different boxes. For example if i have setup Fedora directory server on one box and if it's called ldap.example.com and samba on different box say samba.example.com then my smb.conf would have below entries, i am just providing only those entries where we have to mention the ldap server name. [global] passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://ldap.example.com idmap backend = ldap:ldap://ldap.example.com And if you are using samba.schema and idealx scripts, then your smbldap.confwould contain slaveLDAP="<ip-address-of slave-ldap-server of Fedora Directory Server" # If not defined, parameter is set to "389" slavePort="389" masterLDAP="ldap.example.com/Ip-address-of-fedora directory server" masterPort="389" I hope the above helps.
