Openldap and windowsxp
Re: Openldap and windowsxp
1 - Never heard it was possible .. so no idea
2 - this one helps : http://www.centos.org/docs/5/html/Deployment_Guide-en-US/ch-bind.html
3 - XP itself doesn't talk to openldap .. but applications can (for example a thunderbird for a central address book)
4 - samba website explains this in details . basic idea is to declare that backend is ldap and not tdbsam (or even smbpasswd for older setups). Of course you must have an already running/working ldap for this (use the smbldap-tools from http://www.idealx.org to help you in this task)
