<title>User information database</title>
<sect1>
<title>Introduction</title>
<para>Newer windows clients send encrypted passwords over
the wire, instead of plain text passwords. The newest clients
will only send encrypted passwords and refuse to send plain text
passwords, unless their registry is tweaked.</para>
<para>These passwords can't be converted to unix style encrypted
passwords. Because of that you can't use the standard unix
user database, and you have to store the Lanman and NT hashes
somewhere else. For more information, see the documentation
about the <command>passdb backend = </command> parameter.
</para>

<title>Important Notes About Security</title>
<para>The unix and SMB password encryption techniques seem similar
on the surface. This similarity is, however, only skin deep. The unix
scheme typically sends clear text passwords over the network when
logging in. This is bad. The SMB encryption scheme never sends the
cleartext password over the network but it does store the 16 byte
hashed values on disk. This is also bad. Why? Because the 16 byte hashed
values are a "password equivalent". You cannot derive the user's
password from them, but they could potentially be used in a modified
client to gain access to a server. This would require considerable
technical knowledge on behalf of the attacker but is perfectly possible.
You should thus treat the smbpasswd file as though it contained the
cleartext passwords of all your users. Its contents must be kept
secret, and the file should be protected accordingly.</para>
<para>Ideally we would like a password scheme which neither requires
plain text passwords on the net or on disk. Unfortunately this
is not available as Samba is stuck with being compatible with
other SMB systems (WinNT, WfWg, Win95 etc). </para>
<warning>
<para>Note that Windows NT 4.0 Service pack 3 changed the
default for permissible authentication so that plaintext
passwords are <emphasis>never</emphasis> sent over the wire.
The solution to this is either to switch to encrypted passwords
with Samba or edit the Windows NT registry to re-enable plaintext
passwords. See the document WinNT.txt for details on how to do
this.</para>
<para>Other Microsoft operating systems which also exhibit
this behavior includes</para>

the basic network redirector installed</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>Windows 95 with the network redirector

<listitem><para>Windows 2000</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para><emphasis>Note :</emphasis>All current release of
Microsoft SMB/CIFS clients support authentication via the
SMB Challenge/Response mechanism described here. Enabling
clear text authentication does not disable the ability
of the client to participate in encrypted authentication.</para>

<title>The smbpasswd Command</title>
<para>The smbpasswd command maintains the two 32 byte password fields
in the smbpasswd file. If you wish to make it similar to the unix

to change passwords on Windows NT servers (this only works when
the request is sent to the NT Primary Domain Controller if you

<para>To run smbpasswd as a normal user just type :</para>
<para><prompt>$ </prompt><userinput>smbpasswd</userinput></para>
<para><prompt>Old SMB password: </prompt><userinput>&lt;type old value here -

<para><prompt>Repeat New SMB Password: </prompt><userinput>&lt;re-type new value
</userinput></para>
<para>If the old value does not match the current value stored for
that user, or the two new values do not match each other, then the
password will not be changed.</para>
<para>If invoked by an ordinary user it will only allow the user
to change his or her own Samba password.</para>
<para>If run by the root user smbpasswd may take an optional
argument, specifying the user name whose SMB password you wish to
change. Note that when run as root smbpasswd does not prompt for

This document describes how to use an LDAP directory for storing Samba user
account information traditionally stored in the smbpasswd(5) file. It is
assumed that the reader already has a basic understanding of LDAP concepts
and has a working directory server already installed. For more information

<title>Introduction</title>
<para>
Traditionally, when configuring <ulink url="smb.conf.5.html#ENCRYPTPASSWORDS">"encrypt
passwords = yes"</ulink> in Samba's <filename>smb.conf</filename> file, user account
information such as username, LM/NT password hashes, password change times, and account
flags have been stored in the <filename>smbpasswd(5)</filename> file. There are several
disadvantages to this approach for sites with very large numbers of users (counted
in the thousands).
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>
The first is that all lookups must be performed sequentially. Given that
there are approximately two lookups per domain logon (one for a normal
session connection such as when mapping a network drive or printer), this
is a performance bottleneck for lareg sites. What is needed is an indexed approach
such as is used in databases.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
The second problem is that administrators who desired to replicate a
smbpasswd file to more than one Samba server were left to use external
tools such as <command>rsync(1)</command> and <command>ssh(1)</command>
and wrote custom, in-house scripts.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>
And finally, the amount of information which is stored in an
smbpasswd entry leaves no room for additional attributes such as
a home directory, password expiration time, or even a Relative
Identified (RID).
</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>
As a result of these defeciencies, a more robust means of storing user attributes
used by smbd was developed. The API which defines access to user accounts
is commonly referred to as the samdb interface (previously this was called the passdb
API, and is still so named in the CVS trees). In Samba 2.2.3, enabling support
for a samdb backend (e.g. <parameter>--with-ldapsam</parameter> or
<parameter>--with-tdbsam</parameter>) requires compile time support.
</para>
<para>
When compiling Samba to include the <parameter>--with-ldapsam</parameter> autoconf
option, smbd (and associated tools) will store and lookup user accounts in
an LDAP directory. In reality, this is very easy to understand. If you are
comfortable with using an smbpasswd file, simply replace "smbpasswd" with
"LDAP directory" in all the documentation.
</para>
<para>
There are a few points to stress about what the <parameter>--with-ldapsam</parameter>
does not provide. The LDAP support referred to in the this documentation does not
include:
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>A means of retrieving user account information from
an Windows 2000 Active Directory server.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>A means of replacing /etc/passwd.</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>
The second item can be accomplished by using LDAP NSS and PAM modules. LGPL
versions of these libraries can be obtained from PADL Software
(<ulink url="http://www.padl.com/">http://www.padl.com/</ulink>). However,
the details of configuring these packages are beyond the scope of this document.
</para>

<title>Supported LDAP Servers</title>
<para>
The LDAP samdb code in 2.2.3 has been developed and tested using the OpenLDAP
2.0 server and client libraries. The same code should be able to work with
Netscape's Directory Server and client SDK. However, due to lack of testing
so far, there are bound to be compile errors and bugs. These should not be
hard to fix. If you are so inclined, please be sure to forward all patches to
<ulink url="samba-patches@samba.org">samba-patches@samba.org</ulink> and
<ulink url="jerry@samba.org">jerry@samba.org</ulink>.
</para>
</sect2>
<sect2>
<title>Schema and Relationship to the RFC 2307 posixAccount</title>
<para>
Samba 3.0 includes the necessary schema file for OpenLDAP 2.0 in
<filename>examples/LDAP/samba.schema</filename>. The sambaAccount objectclass is given here:
</para>
<para><programlisting>
objectclass ( 1.3.1.5.1.4.1.7165.2.2.2 NAME 'sambaAccount' SUP top STRUCTURAL
DESC 'Samba Account'
MUST ( uid $ rid )
MAY ( cn $ lmPassword $ ntPassword $ pwdLastSet $ logonTime $
logoffTime $ kickoffTime $ pwdCanChange $ pwdMustChange $ acctFlags $
displayName $ smbHome $ homeDrive $ scriptPath $ profilePath $
description $ userWorkstations $ primaryGroupID $ domain ))
</programlisting></para>
<para>
The samba.schema file has been formatted for OpenLDAP 2.0. The OID's are
owned by the Samba Team and as such is legal to be openly published.
If you translate the schema to be used with Netscape DS, please
submit the modified schema file as a patch to <ulink
url="jerry@samba.org">jerry@samba.org</ulink>
</para>
<para>
Just as the smbpasswd file is mean to store information which supplements a
user's <filename>/etc/passwd</filename> entry, so is the sambaAccount object
meant to supplement the UNIX user account information. A sambaAccount is a
<constant>STRUCTURAL</constant> objectclass so it can be stored individually
in the directory. However, there are several fields (e.g. uid) which overlap
with the posixAccount objectclass outlined in RFC2307. This is by design.
</para>
<!--olem: we should perhaps have a note about shadowAccounts too as many
systems use them, isn'it ? -->
<para>
In order to store all user account information (UNIX and Samba) in the directory,
it is necessary to use the sambaAccount and posixAccount objectclasses in
combination. However, smbd will still obtain the user's UNIX account
information via the standard C library calls (e.g. getpwnam(), et. al.).
This means that the Samba server must also have the LDAP NSS library installed
and functioning correctly. This division of information makes it possible to
store all Samba account information in LDAP, but still maintain UNIX account
information in NIS while the network is transitioning to a full LDAP infrastructure.
</para>

<sect2>
<title>Configuring Samba with LDAP</title>
<sect3>
<title>OpenLDAP configuration</title>
<para>
To include support for the sambaAccount object in an OpenLDAP directory
server, first copy the samba.schema file to slapd's configuration directory.
</para>
<para>
<prompt>root# </prompt><command>cp samba.schema /etc/openldap/schema/</command>
</para>
<para>
Next, include the <filename>samba.schema</filename> file in <filename>slapd.conf</filename>.
The sambaAccount object contains two attributes which depend upon other schema
files. The 'uid' attribute is defined in <filename>cosine.schema</filename> and
the 'displayName' attribute is defined in the <filename>inetorgperson.schema</filename>
file. Both of these must be included before the <filename>samba.schema</filename> file.
</para>
<para><programlisting>
## /etc/openldap/slapd.conf
## schema files (core.schema is required by default)
include /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
## needed for sambaAccount
include /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema
include /etc/openldap/schema/samba.schema
## uncomment this line if you want to support the RFC2307 (NIS) schema
## include /etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema
....
</programlisting></para>
<para>
It is recommended that you maintain some indices on some of the most usefull attributes,
like in the following example, to speed up searches made on sambaAccount objectclasses
(and possibly posixAccount and posixGroup as well).
</para>
<para><programlisting>
# Indices to maintain

<para>
These are described in the <ulink url="smb.conf.5.html">smb.conf(5)</ulink> man
page and so will not be repeated here. However, a sample smb.conf file for
use with an LDAP directory could appear as
</para>
<para><programlisting>
## /usr/local/samba/lib/smb.conf
[global]
security = user
encrypt passwords = yes
netbios name = TASHTEGO
workgroup = NARNIA
# ldap related parameters

# The password for this DN is not stored in smb.conf. Rather it
# must be set by using 'smbpasswd -w <replaceable>secretpw</replaceable>' to store the
# passphrase in the secrets.tdb file. If the "ldap admin dn" values
# changes, this password will need to be reset.
ldap admin dn = "cn=Samba Manager,ou=people,dc=samba,dc=org"
# specify the LDAP server's hostname (defaults to locahost)
ldap server = ahab.samba.org
# Define the SSL option when connecting to the directory
# ('off', 'start tls', or 'on' (default))
ldap ssl = start tls
# define the port to use in the LDAP session (defaults to 636 when

</programlisting></para>

</sect2>
<sect2>
<title>Accounts and Groups management</title>
<para>
As users accounts are managed thru the sambaAccount objectclass, you should
modify you existing administration tools to deal with sambaAccount attributes.
</para>
<para>
Machines accounts are managed with the sambaAccount objectclass, just
like users accounts. However, it's up to you to stored thoses accounts
in a different tree of you LDAP namespace: you should use
"ou=Groups,dc=plainjoe,dc=org" to store groups and
"ou=People,dc=plainjoe,dc=org" to store users. Just configure your
NSS and PAM accordingly (usually, in the /etc/ldap.conf configuration
file).
</para>
<para>
In Samba release 3.0, the group management system is based on posix
groups. This means that Samba make usage of the posixGroup objectclass.
For now, there is no NT-like group system management (global and local
groups).
</para>
</sect2>
<sect2>
<title>Security and sambaAccount</title>
<para>
There are two important points to remember when discussing the security
of sambaAccount entries in the directory.
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para><emphasis>Never</emphasis> retrieve the lmPassword or
ntPassword attribute values over an unencrypted LDAP session.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><emphasis>Never</emphasis> allow non-admin users to
view the lmPassword or ntPassword attribute values.</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>
These password hashes are clear text equivalents and can be used to impersonate
the user without deriving the original clear text strings. For more information
on the details of LM/NT password hashes, refer to the <ulink
url="ENCRYPTION.html">ENCRYPTION chapter</ulink> of the Samba-HOWTO-Collection.
</para>
<para>
To remedy the first security issue, the "ldap ssl" smb.conf parameter defaults
to require an encrypted session (<command>ldap ssl = on</command>) using
the default port of 636
when contacting the directory server. When using an OpenLDAP 2.0 server, it
is possible to use the use the StartTLS LDAP extended operation in the place of
LDAPS. In either case, you are strongly discouraged to disable this security
(<command>ldap ssl = off</command>).
</para>
<para>
Note that the LDAPS protocol is deprecated in favor of the LDAPv3 StartTLS
extended operation. However, the OpenLDAP library still provides support for
the older method of securing communication between clients and servers.
</para>
<para>
The second security precaution is to prevent non-administrative users from
harvesting password hashes from the directory. This can be done using the
following ACL in <filename>slapd.conf</filename>:
</para>
<para><programlisting>
## allow the "ldap admin dn" access, but deny everyone else
access to attrs=lmPassword,ntPassword
by dn="cn=Samba Admin,ou=people,dc=plainjoe,dc=org" write

</programlisting></para>
</sect2>
<sect2>
<title>LDAP specials attributes for sambaAccounts</title>

<listitem><para><constant>homeDrive</constant>: specifies the drive letter to which to map the
UNC path specified by homeDirectory. The drive letter must be specified in the form "X:"
where X is the letter of the drive to map. Refer to the "logon drive" parameter in the
smb.conf(5) man page for more information.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><constant>scriptPath</constant>: The scriptPath property specifies the path of
the user's logon script, .CMD, .EXE, or .BAT file. The string can be null. The path
is relative to the netlogon share. Refer to the "logon script" parameter in the
smb.conf(5) man page for more information.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><constant>profilePath</constant>: specifies a path to the user's profile.
This value can be a null string, a local absolute path, or a UNC path. Refer to the
"logon path" parameter in the smb.conf(5) man page for more information.</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><constant>smbHome</constant>: The homeDirectory property specifies the path of
the home directory for the user. The string can be null. If homeDrive is set and specifies
a drive letter, homeDirectory should be a UNC path. The path must be a network
UNC path of the form \\server\share\directory. This value can be a null string.
Refer to the "logon home" parameter in the smb.conf(5) man page for more information.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><constant>userWorkstation</constant>: character string value currently unused.
</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><constant>rid</constant>: the integer representation of the user's relative identifier
(RID).</para></listitem>
<listitem><para><constant>primaryGroupID</constant>: the relative identifier (RID) of the primary group
of the user.</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>
The majority of these parameters are only used when Samba is acting as a PDC of
a domain (refer to the <ulink url="Samba-PDC-HOWTO.html">Samba-PDC-HOWTO</ulink> for details on
how to configure Samba as a Primary Domain Controller). The following four attributes
are only stored with the sambaAccount entry if the values are non-default values:
</para>
<itemizedlist>
<listitem><para>smbHome</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>scriptPath</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>logonPath</para></listitem>
<listitem><para>homeDrive</para></listitem>
</itemizedlist>
<para>
These attributes are only stored with the sambaAccount entry if
the values are non-default values. For example, assume TASHTEGO has now been
configured as a PDC and that <command>logon home = \\%L\%u</command> was defined in
its <filename>smb.conf</filename> file. When a user named "becky" logons to the domain,
the <parameter>logon home</parameter> string is expanded to \\TASHTEGO\becky.
If the smbHome attribute exists in the entry "uid=becky,ou=people,dc=samba,dc=org",
this value is used. However, if this attribute does not exist, then the value
of the <parameter>logon home</parameter> parameter is used in its place. Samba
will only write the attribute value to the directory entry is the value is
something other than the default (e.g. \\MOBY\becky).

<title>Passdb MySQL plugin</title>
<sect2>
<title>Building</title>
<para>To build the plugin, run <command>make bin/pdb_mysql.so</command>
in the <filename>source/</filename> directory of samba distribution.
</para>
<para>Next, copy pdb_mysql.so to any location you want. I
strongly recommend installing it in $PREFIX/lib or /usr/lib/samba/</para>
</sect2>
<sect2>
<title>Creating the database</title>
<para>
You either can set up your own table and specify the field names to pdb_mysql (see below
for the column names) or use the default table. The file <filename>examples/pdb/mysql/mysql.dump</filename>
contains the correct queries to create the required tables. Use the command :
<command>mysql -u<replaceable>username</replaceable> -h<replaceable>hostname</replaceable> -p<replaceable>password</replaceable> <replaceable>databasename</replaceable> < <filename>/path/to/samba/examples/pdb/mysql/mysql.dump</filename></command>
</para>
</sect2>
<sect2>
<title>Configuring</title>
<para>This plugin lacks some good documentation, but here is some short info:</para>
<para>Add a the following to the <command>passdb backend</command> variable in your <filename>smb.conf</filename>:
<programlisting>
passdb backend = [other-plugins] plugin:/location/to/pdb_mysql.so:identifier [other-plugins]
</programlisting>
</para>
<para>The identifier can be any string you like, as long as it doesn't collide with
the identifiers of other plugins or other instances of pdb_mysql. If you
specify multiple pdb_mysql.so entries in 'passdb backend', you also need to
use different identifiers!
</para>
<para>
Additional options can be given thru the smb.conf file in the [global] section.
</para>
<para><programlisting>
identifier:mysql host - host name, defaults to 'localhost'
identifier:mysql password
identifier:mysql user - defaults to 'samba'
identifier:mysql database - defaults to 'samba'
identifier:mysql port - defaults to 3306
identifier:table - Name of the table containing users
</programlisting></para>
<para>
<emphasis>
WARNING: since the password for the mysql user is stored in the
smb.conf file, you should make the the smb.conf file
readable only to the user that runs samba. This is considered a security
bug and will be fixed soon.</emphasis>
</para>
<para>Names of the columns in this table(I've added column types those columns should have first):</para>
<para><programlisting>
identifier:logon time column - int(9)
identifier:logoff time column - int(9)
identifier:kickoff time column - int(9)
identifier:pass last set time column - int(9)
identifier:pass can change time column - int(9)
identifier:pass must change time column - int(9)
identifier:username column - varchar(255) - unix username
identifier:domain column - varchar(255) - NT domain user is part of
identifier:nt username column - varchar(255) - NT username
identifier:fullname column - varchar(255) - Full name of user
identifier:home dir column - varchar(255) - Unix homedir path
identifier:dir drive column - varchar(2) - Directory drive path (eg: 'H:')
identifier:logon script column - varchar(255) - Batch file to run on client side when logging on
identifier:profile path column - varchar(255) - Path of profile
identifier:acct desc column - varchar(255) - Some ASCII NT user data
identifier:workstations column - varchar(255) - Workstations user can logon to (or NULL for all)
identifier:unknown string column - varchar(255) - unknown string
identifier:munged dial column - varchar(255) - ?
identifier:uid column - int(9) - Unix user ID (uid)
identifier:gid column - int(9) - Unix user group (gid)
identifier:user sid column - varchar(255) - NT user SID
identifier:group sid column - varchar(255) - NT group ID
identifier:lanman pass column - varchar(255) - encrypted lanman password
identifier:nt pass column - varchar(255) - encrypted nt passwd
identifier:plain pass column - varchar(255) - plaintext password
identifier:acct control column - int(9) - nt user data
identifier:unknown 3 column - int(9) - unknown
identifier:logon divs column - int(9) - ?
identifier:hours len column - int(9) - ?
identifier:unknown 5 column - int(9) - unknown
identifier:unknown 6 column - int(9) - unknown
</programlisting></para>
<para>
Eventually, you can put a colon (:) after the name of each column, which
should specify the column to update when updating the table. You can also
specify nothing behind the colon - then the data from the field will not be
updated.

<sect2>
<title>Using plaintext passwords or encrypted password</title>
<para>
I strongly discourage the use of plaintext passwords, however, you can use them:
</para>
<para>
If you would like to use plaintext passwords, set 'identifier:lanman pass column' and 'identifier:nt pass column' to 'NULL' (without the quotes) and 'identifier:plain pass column' to the name of the column containing the plaintext passwords.
</para>
<para>
If you use encrypted passwords, set the 'identifier:plain pass column' to 'NULL' (without the quotes). This is the default.
</para>
</sect2>
<sect2>
<title>Getting non-column data from the table</title>
<para>
It is possible to have not all data in the database and making some 'constant'.
</para>
<para>
For example, you can set 'identifier:fullname column' to :
<command>CONCAT(First_name,' ',Sur_name)</command>
</para>
<para>
Or, set 'identifier:workstations column' to :
<command>NULL</command></para>

<title>Passdb XML plugin</title>
<sect2>
<title>Building</title>
<para>This module requires libxml2 to be installed.</para>
<para>To build pdb_xml, run: <command>make bin/pdb_xml.so</command> in
the directory <filename>source/</filename>. </para>
</sect2>
<sect2>
<title>Usage</title>
<para>The usage of pdb_xml is pretty straightforward. To export data, use:
<command>pdbedit -e plugin:/usr/lib/samba/pdb_xml.so:filename</command>
(where filename is the name of the file to put the data in)
</para>
<para>
To import data, use:
<command>pdbedit -i plugin:/usr/lib/samba/pdb_xml.so:filename -e current-pdb</command>
Where filename is the name to read the data from and current-pdb to put it in.
