samba ldap on zcs 7.0.0: domains are not created

[rosch]

Hi all,

I'm trying to get samba to use zimbra's ldap password backend and followed Greg's nice howto for version 6..and simply assumed it should work for version 7 too.
I got quite far but the domains are not showing up in the samba zimlet.
I didn't try to add them manually yet since I think they should show up.
I followed this 'workaround' and left out dc=mail in the line "ldap suffix = dc=mail,dc=domain,dc=com" in smb.conf,
(the remainder of the conf file is the same as in the howto, only added "ldap ssl = no").

I tried leaving out the mail part in the two zimlets, samba and posixaccount but still no luck: when logging in the admin GUI I get 3 messages saying

Warning! Failed to create ou=groups, dc=mail,dc=domain,dc=com for Posix groups!

(same for samba and machines).

more details:
FQDN of the zimbra server: mail.domain.com. It is the pdc.
Although not recommended by the howto, it is acting as the samba server too.

many thanks in advance.

Formulated differently:
My zimbra server is called mail.mydomain.com.

Do I have to setup zimbra ldap and the two samba and posixaccount zimlets with dc=mail,dc=domain,dc=com or only dc=domain,dc=com ?

many thanks in advance,

I dare say version 7 is still too new and there are not yet enough testers having switched.
I'll try to make it work myself then..

I found some more information about the 3 ldap entries that are not created by the posix and samba administration zimlets:

The cause seems to be:

javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: [LDAP: error code 32 - No Such Object];

A bigger log is attached.

Does anybody know how I could add the groups manually?
