smbldap-populate: failes to add any uid entries

[MrHaroldA]

Binary package hint: smbldap-tools

smbldap-populate is unable to add any uid objects. This might be related to #124875 since that also occurs om my system...

FOUND IT!!!

   1. Install samba-doc
   2. zcat /usr/share/doc/samba-doc/examples/LDAP/samba.schema.gz to /etc/ldap/schema/samba.schema
   3. add the schema to /etc/ldap/slapd.conf

But why isn't this schema installed with samba or smbldap-tools???

[Lionel Porcheron (lionel.porcheron)]

Thanks for taking time to report this bug.
We have a bug opened for including samba.schema in samba package: #62889

I'm afread that adding the samba schema to the slapd.conf file was not enough in my case. The documentation (slapd 2.4.11) states that the slapd daemon will by default use the folder "/etc/ldap/slapd.d", even if there is such a config file (which is the default config file name and location).

This folder is created during the installation. So any change in the config file is not picked up.
To come around this I started the slapd daemon manually with the commandline option "-f /etc/ldap/slapd.conf" added.

so it looks like this: "/usr/sbin/slapd -u openldap -h ldap://0.0.0.0 -d 255 -f /etc/ldap/slapd.conf".

I'm still working on this [ldap installation together with samba] though, so there might me other problems as well.

Marco:
in OpenLDAP 2.4 you could use /etc/default/slapd file to specify your slapd.conf file location (set the value for SLAPD_CONF parameter).
