Sharepoint 2010 and Samba LDAP groups
- by Jon Rhoades
The setup:
Windows 2008 SP2
Sharepoint 2010 Foundation
Samba 3 "Domain"
I'm trying to use the Samba LDAP users & groups we already have to access to Sharepoint.
I can successfully authenticate using the Samaba accounts (getting the "Error: Access Denied" message as the user has no permissions). So Sharepoint can clearly see and use the existing accounts/groups.
What I can't do is be authorised as in the grant permissions interface, Sharepoint now fails to match the account (I get an "No Exact match found...").
Is there a way of getting the Sharepoint permissions interface to recognise and use our existing Samba LDAP accounts?
I get it - don't use Samaba, use AD. If I had that option I would, but I don't.
