[SOLVED] Does Sync Samba passwords in 5.0.2_GA fully work?

[amessina]

Hello,

I have a production environment with zimbra 4.5 running on centos and i have successfully solved some month ago the samba password sync issue, as described in my previous thread "A quick and dirty solution to sync samba passwords".

In these days I'm testing the 5.0.2_GA version (again, with samba) and I have seen that some sync is finally done, but only using the Admin UI, 'cause changing password via the User UI doesn't sync the samba passwords, yet.

Is that true or I have made some config mistake?

How can I solve?

Thanks,
AM

I wrote a new extension to handle the change password process.

This first release still calls mkntpwd as external program to build the NT and LM hashes, but now it doesn't require rebuild of zimbrastore.jar because it's just an installable extension.

I followed the hints suggested in the changepasswordlistener.txt and extensions.txt files, found in \ZimbraServer\docs inside the zcs-5.0.2_GA_1975-src source package.

I'm going to make some other test and then I'll post the results, and the code.

It seems to work as expected, right now.
