[OmniOS-discuss] LDAP external auth for CIFS service

[Mick Burns]

Hello.

I cannot get the CIFS service to use an external LDAP server for
authentication to users connecting to smb-configured shares.
Local LDAP authentication for OmniOS itself works fine for local login
(console or ssh).

Note that this setup is not using AD domain servers but standalone 389
directory servers. So no AD auth / kerberos involved at all.

Followed many examples but when monitoring packets on the LDAP server
there is nothing coming from OmniOS when trying to bind to a share.

i.e. : https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E36784_01/html/E36832/configuredirbasedmapping.html

Hoping for some kind of walk-through from a kind soul who got that all
worked out.

Thank you.
Mick
