|
<para>This option allows the administrator to chose which backend
|
|
will be used for storing user and possibly group information. This allows
|
|
you to swap between different storage mechanisms without recompile. </para>
|
|
|
|
<para>The parameter value is divided into two parts, the backend's name, and a 'location'
|
|
string that has meaning only to that particular backed. These are separated
|
|
by a : character.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Available backends can include:
|
|
<itemizedlist>
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para><command moreinfo="none">smbpasswd</command> - The old plaintext passdb
|
|
backend. Some Samba features will not work if this passdb
|
|
backend is used. Takes a path to the smbpasswd file as an
|
|
optional argument.
|
|
</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para><command moreinfo="none">tdbsam</command> - The TDB based password storage
|
|
backend. Takes a path to the TDB as an optional argument (defaults to passdb.tdb
|
|
in the <smbconfoption name="private dir"/> directory.</para>
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
|
|
<listitem>
|
|
<para><command moreinfo="none">ldapsam</command> - The LDAP based passdb
|
|
backend. Takes an LDAP URL as an optional argument (defaults to
|
|
<command moreinfo="none">ldap://localhost</command>)</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>LDAP connections should be secured where possible. This may be done using either
|
|
Start-TLS (see <smbconfoption name="ldap ssl"/>) or by
|
|
specifying <parameter moreinfo="none">ldaps://</parameter> in
|
|
the URL argument. </para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Multiple servers may also be specified in double-quotes.
|
|
Whether multiple servers are supported or not and the exact
|
|
syntax depends on the LDAP library you use.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
</listitem>
|
|
</itemizedlist>
|
|
|
|
</para>
|
|
Examples of use are:
|
|
<programlisting>
|
|
passdb backend = tdbsam:/etc/samba/private/passdb.tdb
|
|
|
|
or multi server LDAP URL with OpenLDAP library:
|
|
|
|
passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap://ldap-1.example.com ldap://ldap-2.example.com"
|
|
|
|
or multi server LDAP URL with Netscape based LDAP library:
|
|
|
|
passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap://ldap-1.example.com ldap-2.example.com"
|
|
</programlisting>
