[SOLVED] Zimbra Migration Issues

[kkimani]

Hi all,

I did a zimbra ver 5.0.19 from a CentOS 5.3 to the same environment. I had incorporated samba as a domain controller. The migration worked well since all the users data was intact just that the users cant login into the domain. The error displayed is
"[2009/11/19 15:46:21, 0] passdb/pdb_get_set.cdb_get_group_sid(211)
pdb_get_group_sid: Failed to find Unix account for kevin
[2009/11/19 15:46:21, 1] auth/auth_util.c:make_server_info_sam(589)
User kevin in passdb, but getpwnam() fails!
[2009/11/19 15:46:21, 0] auth/auth_sam.c:check_sam_security(353)
check_sam_security: make_server_info_sam() failed with 'NT_STATUS_NO_SUCH_USER"

whereas the user is there. I think i have discovered the error which could be that in the posix tab, where the details of the user are /home/kevin and the bash terminal "/bin/bash", the combo boxes aint there hence its like the fields cant be changed hence from the error am guessing that the user has no account in the unix machine through the /bin/bash protocol...thats wat am thinkng but please HELP!!!

Any help will be highly appreciated

So this was a 5.0.19 on CentOS 5.3 to 5.0.19 on CentOS 5.3 migration?

How did you perform this migration?

Yes, please be specific about how you migrated Samba.

Thanks,

I followed this link [SOLVED] Zimbra Migration Strategy thanks to Sir Bob.

then i copied the /etc/samba folder to the new server with all *.tdb files.
then edited /etc/ldap.conf to the required settings then imported samba and nis schema
chown -R zimbra:zimbra /opt/zimbra
/opt/zimbra/libexec/zmfixperms

import posix amd samba
cp /usr/share/doc/samba-3.0.28/LDAP/samba.schema /opt/zimbra/openldap/etc/openldap/schema/
add nis.schema and samba.schema to /opt/zimbra/conf/slapd.conf.in

include "/opt/zimbra/openldap/etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema"
include "/opt/zimbra/openldap/etc/openldap/schema/samba.schema"

#indexes for PAM
index uidNumber eq
index gidNumber eq
index memberUID eq

#indexes for Samba
index sambaSID eq
index sambaPrimaryGroupSID eq
index sambaDomainName eq

then restart zimbra

Glad you are all set then; marking this thread as solved.
