I think windows passwords have to hashed differently, so you'd have to reset their password or generate it with the windows password generator included with samba, I think its called ntpwd or something like that.

Hi everybody, this is my problem: I configured my Fedora DS and now I can sync the LDAP's users with Windows 2003 Active Directory. Then, I created a new user with this code ldif

dn: uid=red,ou=Other,ou=Students,ou=People,dc=xxxxx,dc=xx givenName: red sn: red objectClass: top objectClass: person objectClass: organizationalPerson objectClass: inetorgperson objectClass: ntuser uid: red ntUserCreateNewAccount: true ntUserDeleteAccount: true cn: red ntUserDomainId: red userPassword: redpwd creatorsName: uid=root,ou=administrators,ou=topologymanagement, o=netscaperoot modifiersName: uid=root,ou=administrators,ou=topologymanagement, o=netscaperoot createTimestamp: 20080318153555Z modifyTimestamp: 20080318153555Z nsUniqueId: f8f6c801-f50011dc-80ebbfe2-cc3ccdae

Note that I wrote the user's password in "clear". Now, I can logon the Windows AD with the username red and the password redpwd. Then I added another user (yellow) with this code ldif

dn: uid=yellow,ou=Other,ou=Students,ou=People,dc=xxxxx,dc=xx givenName: yellow sn: yellow objectClass: top objectClass: person objectClass: organizationalPerson objectClass: inetorgperson objectClass: ntuser uid: yellow ntUserCreateNewAccount: true ntUserDeleteAccount: true cn: yellow ntUserDomainId: yellow userPassword: {MD5}8cb32079718c657b02bbbb176b97d030 creatorsName: uid=root,ou=administrators,ou=topologymanagement, o=netscaperoot modifiersName: uid=root,ou=administrators,ou=topologymanagement, o=netscaperoot createTimestamp: 20080318153555Z modifyTimestamp: 20080318153555Z nsUniqueId: f8f6c801-f50011dc-80ebbfe2-cc3ccdae

Note the MD5(yellowpwd) = 8cb32079718c657b02bbbb176b97d030 Then If I try logon the Windows AD (from Windows) with the username yellow and the password yellowred, I cannot log in. Instead, if I try logon the Windows AD with the username yellow and the password {MD5}8cb32079718c657b02bbbb176b97d030 I can log in. Do you think that this is a problem strictly related to Windows' problem? How can I get over it? Thank you in advance.
