The possible new combinations of password backends allows Samba-3 a degree of flexibility and scalability that previously could be achieved only with MS Windows Active Directory (ADS). This chapter describes the new functionality and how to get the most out of it.
The three passdb backends that are fully maintained (actively supported) by the Samba Team are:
In a strict sense, there are three supported account storage and access systems. One of these is considered
obsolete (smbpasswd). It is recommended to use the In a strict and literal sense, the passdb backends are account storage mechanisms (or methods) alone. The choice of terminology can be misleading, however we are stuck with this choice of wording. This chapter documents the nature of the account storage system with a focus on user and trust accounts. Trust accounts have two forms, machine trust accounts (computer accounts) and interdomain trust accounts. These are all treated as user-like entities. Samba-3 provides for complete backward compatibility with Samba-2.2.x functionality as follows:
Samba-3 introduces a number of new password backend capabilities.
Old Windows clients send plaintext passwords over the wire. Samba can check these passwords by encrypting them and comparing them to the hash stored in the UNIX user database. Newer Windows clients send encrypted passwords (LanMan and NT hashes) instead of plaintext passwords over the wire. The newest clients will send only encrypted passwords and refuse to send plaintext passwords unless their registry is tweaked. Many people ask why Samba cannot simply use the UNIX password database. Windows requires passwords that are encrypted in its own format. The UNIX 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.
In addition to differently encrypted passwords, Windows also stores certain data for each
user that is not stored in a UNIX user database: for example, workstations the user may logon from,
the location where the user's profile is stored, and so on. Samba retrieves and stores this
information using a passdb backend. Commonly available backends are LDAP,
tdbsam, and plain text file. For more information, see the man page for The resolution of SIDs to UIDs is fundamental to correct operation of Samba. In both cases shown, if winbindd is not running or cannot be contacted, then only local SID/UID resolution is possible. See resolution of SIDs to UIDs and resolution of UIDs to SIDs diagrams. 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 clear-text 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 therefore treat the data stored in whatever passdb backend you use (smbpasswd file, LDAP) as though it contained the clear-text passwords of all your users. Its contents must be kept secret, and the file should be protected accordingly. Ideally, we would like a password scheme that involves neither plaintext passwords on the network nor plaintext passwords on disk. Unfortunately, this is not available because Samba is stuck with having to be compatible with other SMB systems (Windows NT, Windows for Workgroups, Windows 9x/Me). Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 3 changed the default setting so plaintext passwords are disabled from being sent over the wire. This mandates either the use of encrypted password support or editing the Windows NT registry to re-enable plaintext passwords. The following versions of Microsoft Windows do not support full domain security protocols, although they may log onto a domain environment:
NoteMS Windows XP Home does not have facilities to become a domain member, and it cannot participate in domain logons. The following versions of MS Windows fully support domain security protocols.
All current releases 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. Instead, it allows the client to negotiate either plaintext or encrypted password handling. MS Windows clients will cache the encrypted password alone. Where plaintext passwords are re-enabled through the appropriate registry change, the plaintext password is never cached. This means that in the event that a network connections should become disconnected (broken), only the cached (encrypted) password will be sent to the resource server to effect an auto-reconnect. If the resource server does not support encrypted passwords, the auto-reconnect will fail. Use of encrypted passwords is strongly advised.
Every operation in UNIX/Linux requires a user identifier (UID), just as in MS Windows NT4/200x this requires a security identifier (SID). Samba provides two means for mapping an MS Windows user to a UNIX/Linux UID. First, all Samba SAM database accounts require a UNIX/Linux UID that the account will map to. As users are added to the account information database, Samba will call the add user script interface to add the account to the Samba host OS. In essence all accounts in the local SAM require a local user account.
The second way to map Windows SID to UNIX UID is via the idmap uid and
idmap gid parameters in Samba-3 has a special facility that makes it possible to maintain identical UIDs and GIDs on all servers in a distributed network. A distributed network is one where there exists a PDC, one or more BDCs, and/or one or more domain member servers. Why is this important? This is important if files are being shared over more than one protocol (e.g., NFS) and where users are copying files across UNIX/Linux systems using tools such as rsync.
The special facility is enabled using a parameter called Example 11.1. Example Configuration with the LDAP idmap Backend
A network administrator who wants to make significant use of LDAP backends will sooner or later be exposed to the excellent work done by PADL Software. PADL http://www.padl.com have produced and released to open source an array of tools that might be of interest. These tools include:
There is much excitement and interest in LDAP directories in the information technology world today. The LDAP architecture was designed to be highly scalable. It was also designed for use across a huge number of potential areas of application encompassing a wide range of operating systems and platforms. LDAP technologies are at the heart of the current generations of Federated Identity Management (FIM) solutions that can underlie a corporate Single Sign-On (SSO) environment. LDAP implementations have been built across a wide variety of platforms. It lies at the core of Microsoft Windows Active Directory services (ADS), Novell's eDirectory, as well as many others. Implementation of the directory services LDAP involves interaction with legacy as well as new generation applications, all of which depend on some form of authentication services. UNIX services can utilize LDAP directory information for authentication and access controls through intermediate tools and utilities. The total environment that consists of the LDAP directory and the middle-ware tools and utilities makes it possible for all user access to the UNIX platform to be managed from a central environment and yet distributed to wherever the point of need may be physically located. Applications that benefit from this infrastructure include: UNIX login shells, mail and messaging systems, quota controls, printing systems, DNS servers, DHCP servers, and also Samba. Many sites are installing LDAP for the first time in order to provide a scalable passdb backend for Samba. Others are faced with the need to adapt an existing LDAP directory to new uses such as for the Samba SAM backend. Whatever your particular need and attraction to Samba may be, decisions made in respect of the design of the LDAP directory structure and its implementation are of a durable nature for the site. These have far-reaching implications that affect long-term information systems management costs. Do not rush into an LDAP deployment. Take the time to understand how the design of the Directory Information Tree (DIT) may impact current and future site needs, as well as the ability to meet them. The way that Samba SAM information should be stored within the DIT varies from site to site and with each implementation new experience is gained. It is well understood by LDAP veterans that first implementations create awakening, second implementations of LDAP create fear, and third-generation deployments bring peace and tranquility. Samba requires UNIX POSIX identity information as well as a place to store information that is specific to Samba and the Windows networking environment. The most used information that must be dealt with includes: user accounts, group accounts, machine trust accounts, interdomain trust accounts, and intermediate information specific to Samba internals. The example deployment guidelines in this book, as well as other books and HOWTO documents available from the internet may not fit with established directory designs and implementations. The existing DIT may not be able to accommodate the simple information layout proposed in common sources. Additionally, you may find that the common scripts and tools that are used to provision the LDAP directory for use with Samba may not suit your needs. It is not uncommon, for sites that have existing LDAP DITs to find necessity to generate a set of site-specific scripts and utilities to make it possible to deploy Samba within the scope of site operations. The way that user and group accounts are distributed throughout the DIT may make this a challenging matter. The solution will, of course, be rewarding, but the journey to it may be challenging. Take time to understand site needs and do not rush into deployment. Above all, do not blindly use scripts and tools that are not suitable for your site. Check and validate all scripts before you execute them to make sure that the existing infrastructure will not be damaged by inadvertent use of an inappropriate tool. Samba doesn't provide a turnkey solution to LDAP. It is best to deal with the design and configuration of an LDAP directory prior to integration with Samba. A working knowledge of LDAP makes Samba integration easy, and the lack of a working knowledge of LDAP can make it a frustrating experience. Computer (machine) accounts can be placed wherever you like in an LDAP directory subject to some constraints that are described in this chapter. The POSIX and sambaSamAccount components of computer (machine) accounts are both used by Samba. Thus, machine accounts are treated inside Samba in the same way that Windows NT4/200X treats them. A user account and a machine account are indistinquishable from each other, except that the machine account ends in a $ character, as do trust accounts. The need for Windows user, group, machine, trust, and other accounts to be tied to a valid UNIX UID is a design decision that was made a long way back in the history of Samba development. It is unlikely that this decision will be reversed or changed during the remaining life of the Samba-3.x series. The resolution of a UID from the Windows SID is achieved within Samba through a mechanism that must refer back to the host operating system on which Samba is running. The NSS is the preferred mechanism that shields applications (like Samba) from the need to know everything about every host OS it runs on. Samba asks the host OS to provide a UID via the “passwd”, “shadow”, and “group” facilities in the NSS control (configuration) file. The best tool for achieving this is left up to the UNIX administrator to determine. It is not imposed by Samba. Samba provides winbindd with its support libraries as one method. It is possible to do this via LDAP, and for that Samba provides the appropriate hooks so that all account entities can be located in an LDAP directory. For many the weapon of choice is to use the PADL nss_ldap utility. This utility must be configured so that computer accounts can be resolved to a POSIX/UNIX account UID. That is fundamentally an LDAP design question. The information provided on the Samba list and in the documentation is directed at providing working examples only. The design of an LDAP directory is a complex subject that is beyond the scope of this documentation. Samba provides two tools for management of user and machine accounts: smbpasswd and pdbedit. The pdbedit can be used to manage account policies in addition to Samba user account information. The policy management capability is used to administer domain default settings for password aging and management controls to handle failed login attempts.
Some people are confused when reference is made to
The smbpasswd utility is similar to the passwd
and yppasswd programs. It maintains the two 32 byte password
fields in the passdb backend. This utility operates independently of the actual
account and password storage methods used (as specified by the smbpasswd works in a client-server mode where it contacts the local smbd to change the user's password on its behalf. This has enormous benefits. smbpasswd has the capability to change passwords on Windows NT servers (this only works when the request is sent to the NT PDC if changing an NT domain user's password).
To run smbpasswd as a normal user, just type:
For
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. When invoked by an ordinary user, the command will allow only the user to change his or her own SMB password. When run by root, smbpasswd may take an optional argument specifying the username whose SMB password you wish to change. When run as root, smbpasswd does not prompt for or check the old password value, thus allowing root to set passwords for users who have forgotten their passwords. smbpasswd is designed to work in the way familiar to UNIX users who use the passwd or yppasswd commands. While designed for administrative use, this tool provides essential user-level password change capabilities. For more details on using smbpasswd, refer to the man page (the definitive reference). pdbedit is a tool that can be used only by root. It is used to manage the passdb backend, as well as domain-wide account policy settings. pdbedit can be used to:
Under the terms of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, American businesses and organizations are mandated to
implement a series of
In short, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 is an instrument that enforces accountability in respect of business related information systems so as to ensure the compliance of all information systems that are used to store personal information and particularly for financial records processing. Similar accountabilities are being demanded around the world. The need to be familiar with the Samba tools and facilities that permit information systems operation in compliance with government laws and regulations is clear to all. The pdbedit is currently the only Samba tool that provides the capacity to manage account and systems access controls and policies. During the remaining life-cycle of the Samba-3 series it is possible the new tools may be implemented to aid in this important area. Domain global policy controls available in Windows NT4 compared with Samba is shown in NT4 Domain v's Samba Policy Controls. Table 11.1. NT4 Domain v's Samba Policy Controls
The pdbedit tool is the only one that can manage the account security and policy settings. It is capable of all operations that smbpasswd can do as well as a superset of them. One particularly important purpose of the pdbedit is to allow the migration of account information from one passdb backend to another.
The pdbedit tool, like the smbpasswd tool, requires
that a POSIX user account already exists in the UNIX/Linux system accounts database (backend).
Neither tool will call out to the operating system to create a user account because this is
considered to be the responsibility of the system administrator. When the Windows NT4 domain
user manager is used to add an account, Samba will implement the Before attempting to use the pdbedit tool to manage user and machine accounts, make certain that a system (POSIX) account has already been created. The following is an example of the user account information that is stored in a tdbsam password backend. This listing was produced by running:
Accounts can also be listed in the older
The account information that was returned by this command in order from left to right consists of the following colon separated data:
The Account Flags parameters are documented in the pdbedit man page, and are briefly documented in the Account Flags Management section. The LCT data consists of 8 hexadecimal characters representing the time since January 1, 1970, of the time when the password was last changed.
The pdbedit can be used to add a user account to a standalone server
or to a domain. In the example shown here the account for the user
An account can be deleted from the SambaSAMAccount database
The account is removed without further screen output. The account is removed only from the SambaSAMAccount (passdb backend) database, it is not removed from the UNIX account backend.
The use of the NT4 domain user manager to delete an account will trigger the Refer to the pdbedit man page for a full synopsis of all operations that are available with this tool. An example of a simple change in the user account information is the change of the full name information shown here:
Let us assume for a moment that a user's password has expired and the user is unable to change the password at this time. It may be necessary to give the user additional grace time so that it is possible to continue to work with the account and the original password. This demonstrates how the password expiration settings may be updated
The user has recorded 2 bad logon attempts and the next will lock the account, but the password is also expired. Here is how this account can be reset:
The
Another way to use this tools is to set the date like this:
Refer to the strptime man page for specific time format information. Please refer to the pdbedit man page for further information relating to SambaSAMAccount management. The Samba SAM account flags are properly called the ACB (account control block) within the Samba source code. In some parts of the Samba source code they are referred to as the account encode_bits, and also as the account control flags. The manual adjustment of user, machine (workstation or server) or an inter-domain trust account account flgas should not be necessary under normal conditions of use of Samba. On the other hand, where this information becomes corrupted for some reason, the ability to correct the damaged data is certainly useful. The tool of choice by which such correction can be affected is the pdbedit utility. There have been a few requests for information regarding the account flags from developers who are creating their own Samba management tools. An example of a need for information regarding the proper management of the account flags is evident when developing scripts that will be used to manage an LDAP directory. The account flag field can contain up to 16 characters. Presently, only 11 are in use. These are listed in Samba SAM Account Control Block Flags. The order in which the flags are specified to the pdbedit command is not important. In fact, they can be set without problem in any order in the SambaAcctFlags record in the LDAP directory. Table 11.2. Samba SAM Account Control Block Flags
An example of use of the pdbedit utility to set the account control flags is shown here:
The flags can be reset to the default settings by executing:
To view the domain account access policies that may be configured execute:
Commands will be executed to establish controls for our domain as follows:
The following command execution will achieve these settings:
NoteTo set the maximum (infinite) lockout time use the value of -1. WarningAccount policies must be set individually on each PDC and BDC. At this time (Samba 3.0.11 to Samba 3.0.14a) account policies are not replicated automatically. This may be fixed before Samba 3.0.20 ships or some time there after. Samba offers the greatest flexibility in backend account database design of any SMB/CIFS server technology available today. The flexibility is immediately obvious as one begins to explore this capability.
It is possible to specify not only multiple password backends, but even multiple
backends of the same type. For example, to use two different
What is possible is not always sensible. Be careful to avoid complexity to the point that it may be said that the solution is “too clever by half!”
Older versions of Samba retrieved user information from the UNIX user database
and eventually some other fields from the file
Traditionally, when configuring encrypt passwords = yes
in Samba's
As a result of these deficiencies, a more robust means of storing user attributes used by smbd was developed. The API that 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 Samba source code trees). Samba provides an enhanced set of passdb backends that overcome the deficiencies of the smbpasswd plaintext database. These are tdbsam and ldapsam. Of these, ldapsam will be of most interest to large corporate or enterprise sites. Samba can store user and machine account data in a “TDB” (trivial database). Using this backend does not require any additional configuration. This backend is recommended for new installations that do not require LDAP. As a general guide, the Samba Team does not recommend using the tdbsam backend for sites that have 250 or more users. Additionally, tdbsam is not capable of scaling for use in sites that require PDB/BDC implementations that require replication of the account database. Clearly, for reason of scalability, the use of ldapsam should be encouraged. The recommendation of a 250-user limit is purely based on the notion that this would generally involve a site that has routed networks, possibly spread across more than one physical location. The Samba Team has not at this time established the performance-based scalability limits of the tdbsam architecture.
There are sites that have thousands of users and yet require only one server.
One site recently reported having 4,500 user accounts on one UNIX system and
reported excellent performance with the There are a few points to stress that the ldapsam does not provide. The LDAP support referred to in this documentation does not include:
The second item can be accomplished by using LDAP NSS and PAM modules. LGPL versions of these libraries can be obtained from PADL Software. More information about the configuration of these packages may be found in LDAP, System Administration by Gerald Carter, Chapter 6, Replacing NIS". 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 on LDAP architectures and directories, please refer to the following sites: Two additional Samba resources that may prove to be helpful are:
The LDAP ldapsam code was developed and tested using the OpenLDAP 2.x server and client libraries. The same code should work with Netscape's Directory Server and client SDK. However, there are bound to be compile errors and bugs. These should not be hard to fix. Please submit fixes via the process outlined in Reporting Bugs. Samba is capable of working with any standards-compliant LDAP server.
Samba-3.0 includes the necessary schema file for OpenLDAP 2.x in the

Just as the smbpasswd file is meant to store information that provides information
additional to a user's In order to store all user account information (UNIX and Samba) in the directory, it is necessary to use the sambaSamAccount and posixAccount ObjectClasses in combination. However, smbd will still obtain the user's UNIX account information via the standard C library calls, such as getpwnam(). 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.
To include support for the sambaSamAccount object in an OpenLDAP directory
server, first copy the samba.schema file to slapd's configuration directory.
The samba.schema file can be found in the directory
Next, include the ## /etc/openldap/slapd.conf ## schema files (core.schema is required by default) include /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema ## needed for sambaSamAccount include /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema include /etc/openldap/schema/samba.schema ....
It is recommended that you maintain some indices on some of the most useful attributes, as in the following example, to speed up searches made on sambaSamAccount ObjectClasses (and possibly posixAccount and posixGroup as well):
# Indices to maintain ## required by OpenLDAP index objectclass eq index cn pres,sub,eq index sn pres,sub,eq ## required to support pdb_getsampwnam index uid pres,sub,eq ## required to support pdb_getsambapwrid() index displayName pres,sub,eq ## uncomment these if you are storing posixAccount and ## posixGroup entries in the directory as well ##index uidNumber eq ##index gidNumber eq ##index memberUid eq index sambaSID eq index sambaPrimaryGroupSID eq index sambaDomainName eq index default sub
Create the new index by executing:
Remember to restart slapd after making these changes:
Before you can add accounts to the LDAP database, you must create the account containers that they will be stored in. The following LDIF file should be modified to match your needs (DNS entries, and so on):

These are described in the Example 11.2. Configuration with LDAP Because user accounts are managed through the sambaSamAccount ObjectClass, you should modify your existing administration tools to deal with sambaSamAccount attributes.
Machine accounts are managed with the sambaSamAccount ObjectClass, just
like user accounts. However, it is up to you to store those accounts
in a different tree of your LDAP namespace. You should use

“ou=People,dc=quenya,dc=org” to store users. Just configure your

In Samba-3, the group management system is based on POSIX
groups. This means that Samba makes use of the posixGroup ObjectClass.
For now, there is no NT-like group system management (global and local
groups). Samba-3 knows only about There are two important points to remember when discussing the security of sambaSAMAccount entries in the directory. 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 Account Information Database section.
To remedy the first security issue, the ldap ssl 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.
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

The majority of these parameters are only used when Samba is acting as a PDC of a domain (refer to Domain Control, for details on how to configure Samba as a PDC). The following four attributes are only stored with the sambaSamAccount entry if the values are non-default values:
