I am trialing an EMC NS350 as a candidate NAS to serve CIFS and NFS clients (XP, OSX, and Linux). I have set up a working Samba 3.x domain with FDS 1.01 back end and I have an older, borrowed NetApp Filer (DataOnTap 6.5) working fine as a temporary NFS/CIFS server authing against LDAP/Samba.

With the EMC, official support is limited to AD and Sun iPlanet LDAP. The latter limitation of support is turning out to be less theoretical than I might have hoped. It seems like the EMC wants to behave like an "official" iPlanet/Sun client.

I am thinking that the solution to this problem could be to config FDS as laid out in the Solaris Client How-To here:

I have a couple of questions. First, has anybody done this (integrated an EMC) who has a cut-and-dried report on doing it?
Yes ;-)

You will need a profile - ours look something like this:

dn: cn=default, ou=profile, dc=exeter,dc=ac,dc=uk
defaultSearchBase: dc=exeter,dc=ac,dc=uk
authenticationMethod: simple
followReferrals: TRUE
bindTimeLimit: 2
profileTTL: 43200
searchTimeLimit: 30
serviceAuthenticationMethod: pam_ldap:simple
objectClass: top
objectClass: DUAConfigProfile
defaultServerList: 1.2.3.4 1.2.3.3 1.2.3.2
credentialLevel: proxy
cn: default
serviceSearchDescriptor: passwd:ou=People,dc=exeter,dc=ac,dc=uk?sub
serviceSearchDescriptor: group:ou=group,dc=exeter,dc=ac,dc=uk?sub
serviceSearchDescriptor: user_attr:ou=people,dc=exeter,dc=ac,dc=uk?sub
serviceSearchDescriptor: shadow:ou=People,dc=exeter,dc=ac,dc=uk?sub
defaultSearchScope: one

Once you have a profile, run on the control station:

[nasadmin@XXXXCS nasadmin]$ server_ldap server_2 -set -domain
exeter.ac.uk -servers 1.2.3.4 -profile default

If you have multiple directories (I assume you do) - pass in any one of
the IP's, but make sure they're all in the profile.
Once you have run it, verify that all is well:

[nasadmin@RCRNSCS nasadmin]$ server_ldap server_2 -info
server_2 :
LDAP domain: exeter.ac.uk
     State: Configured - Connected
NIS domain: exeter.ac.uk
  Profile Name: default
   Profile TTL: 43200 seconds
  Next Profile update in 43197 seconds
Connected to LDAP server address: 1.2.3.4 - port 389
[nasadmin@RCRNSCS nasadmin]$ server_ldap server_2 -lookup -user guest500
server_2 :
user: guest500, uid: 1577, gid: 1001
[nasadmin@RCRNSCS nasadmin]$
