problem how to reset the password of samba ldap user

[niyati]

HI all

I am facing a problem to reset the password of a user in ldap + samba 3. Samba is working fine with ldap backend and users are able to login to domain.

In ldap I have a user – Adminisrator
I want to reset its password, tried the commands
‘Smbldap-passwd Administrator’
Also ‘smbpasswd Administrator’ ,but that password is nt working when I try to login or access shares using smbclient or to the pc.

What is the exact way to reset a password of a user in samba + openldap environment so it is able to login to domain.
Please note that I also have ldap password sync = yes enabled in my smb.conf

Thanks in advance, will appreciate an early response

HI

My few further findings for this problem.

It seems like smbldap-passwd command is working perfectly and its changing the password in ldap database too.
But when I try to login to samba with the same user and password using the command smbclient

session setup failed: NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE

Following error comes in /var/log/syslog

smbd[11236]: pdb_increment_bad_password_count: pdb_get_account_policy failed.

If there's anyone out there to help, I'd really appreciate.
