Hello, all.  Several hours of googling and testing have not solved my
problem.  We are using Directory Server as our authentication mechanism
for as much as possible in our environment.  So far, we have integrated
all our Linux servers, synchronized with AD, and are using it for
Zimbra.

We have just implemented a standalone SAMBA server and are having
trouble synchronizing passwords.  I see plenty of examples of how to
have changes made using smbpasswd passed to the posix password in LDAP.
But that's not what we want.  We want users (some of whom use SAMBA and
some of whom do not) to have a single place to change their password.
The users are all KDE.  Changing their passwords in the KDE control
module for security changes everything brilliantly EXCEPT SAMBA.

How do we make password changes executed by the users or by the LDAP
admin in idm-console propagate to the SAMBA password attributes? Thanks

I forgot to mention, we did change pam as follows:

password    requisite     pam_cracklib.so try_first_pass retry=3
password    sufficient    pam_unix.so md5 shadow nullok try_first_pass
use_authtok
password    sufficient    pam_smbpass.so use_authtok
password    sufficient    pam_ldap.so use_authtok
password    required      pam_deny.so

However, I would think this would affect password changes made only on
the SAMBA server itself and not changes made by users at their desktops
and reflected through to Linux.  We really need changes made in LDAP
from wherever they are made to affect the SAMBA password attributes in
Linux.  Is that possible? If so, how? Thanks - John
freeIPA has a password plugin for 389 that syncs userPassword with the samba password hashes and vice versa (and kerberos too).
I'm very interested in implementing freeIPA as it matures and as we have
some breathing room after our initial product rollout.  Is there any way
to do this without researching and deploying a new product? Anything
either built into 389 or PAM?
No, not afaik.
Thanks - John
