37.7 Migrating a Windows NT Server
to Samba
Apart from the Samba and LDAP configuration, the migration of a Windows NT
server to a SUSE Linux Enterprise Server Samba server consists of two basic steps.
First, migrate profiles then migrate accounts.
37.7.1 Preparing the LDAP Server
The first step of your migration should be the configuration of the LDAP server. You
need to add base DN information and entries for accounts of your software clients with
passwords. Detailed information about LDAP configuration is provided in
Chapter 36,
LDAP—A Directory Service (page 661).
It is not necessary to configure it all manually. You can use scripts from smbldap-tools.
These scripts are part of the package
samba-doc
and, after installation of the package,
are available in
/usr/share/doc/packages/samba/examples/LDAP
.
NOTE: LDAP and Security
The LDAP administration DN should be an account other than Root DN. To
make the network more secure, you can also use a secure connection with TSL.
