Hello,
Can I use the Plug-in "openmediavault-ldap" to import users from a Windows computer (to access to its local directory)?
This computer is not member of a Domain, I use it with the default settings (group "WORKGROUP").
Thanks,
Chris
openmediavault-ldap Plug-in without Domain?
-
You will have to join it to the domain. Here is how I do it.
-
Did you see add user then import option? I would guess it might be a csv list. It's probably documented somewhere? If you click it will show the format.

LDAP is very useful in big environments, I oftenly use it on my job to query users from AD servers or mail addresses from Lotus Notes servers and so on. But IMHO it doesn't make sense to raise a Windows server to have a LDAP source for using it with the plug-in.
On the other side it is possible to migrate users from a workgroup to a domain, but you have to use tools like CSVDE or LDIFDE on a server and this is no easy going.Lots of testing need to be done until the import file is well formatted and acceptable for these tools.
How many users do you want to migrate? On a home system I would add them manually. -
Yes datadigger, it doesn't make sense to raise a Windows server to have a LDAP source!
I run my OMV at home, 4 accounts only, it would have been fine to manage sharing rights with Windows accounts.Is it possible to join a Windows Client to a Linux Directory?
I think no, I've checked on the Web and I've found informations about to join a Linux Client to Windows AD only.
I don't think Microsoft allows that for commercial reason!About CSVDE or LDIFDE, I think they are AD tools, thus I'll need to buy and build a Windows Server... too much expensive for a home use!
But I'm going to use this post to ask some informations... I use an old Dell Precision 380 as OVM server, with 8GB RAM, if I find a solution to build a Windows Server (could be a 2003R2 SP3) to have an AD, can I install and run the Windows Server and OMV Server as VM vith ESXi (or Proxmox) on this Dell Precision 380?
Thanks all for your help
-
Yep, some here in the forum are running openmediavault ONLY in a VM like ESXi or Virtualbox. Proxmox is also possible.
-
I am running OMV on Proxmox on two machines (one is a school of 200 students). It is very stable and faster than the Win2k8 hyper-v VM it replaced (using virtio).

A Linux directory service directly comparable to MS AD simply does not exist. The directory service on modern *nix networks is LDAP, which replaced YP (Yellow Pages, very old) and NIS and it is possible to have MS products as well as *nix systems included. The only directory service somehow comparable to MS AD I know about is Novell's NDS (Or eDirectory since a few years). I've been dedicated to Novell for about 10 years and I liked it very much, but Novell lost the battle for leadership on the network market, sad but true.
So if you like to deal with LDAP I would recomment to use OpenLDAP server, this is the reference software for all LDAP usage because of it's strict implementation of the LDAP protocol. There are versions for windows an *nix versions available.Zitat von "chrbar"About CSVDE or LDIFDE, I think they are AD tools, thus I'll need to buy and build a Windows Server... too much expensive for a home use!
Yes they are AD tools, available on the resource kits separately sold for older MS server products. I guess they are available on the web now.Zitat von "chrbar"But I'm going to use this post to ask some informations...

Why not if you do not expect too much performance. A W2K3 server does not need that much power for basic operations. -

Not true. Samba4 can be an AD domain controller. You can even use MS tools to administrate it. -

That's right. I didn't know about the capabilities auf Samba 4 because it is pretty new. But it sounds interesting. -
And samba 4 it will be implemented in OMV 0.6 coming with wheezy.
-
samba4 in wheezy is old (4.0beta2) since 4.1.4 is out. Volker should create his own package if he is going to use samba4.
