Problem configuring samba and ldap

[erfaan]

Hi,
I just installed ubuntu 8.10 server. I am trying to use it as PDC. I followed this guide:

https://help.ubuntu.com/8.10/serverguide/C/samba-ldap.html

Everything is working perfectly alright except that I cannot configure my windows XP to use this domain. Problem is that whenever I try to add my windows xp to this domain, samba server crashes. I get the following error in my samba log:


[2009/01/05 14:19:28, 0] lib/smbldap.c:smb_ldap_start_tls(596)
Failed to issue the StartTLS instruction: Protocol error
[2009/01/05 14:19:28, 1] lib/smbldap.c:another_ldap_try(1178)
Connection to LDAP server failed for the 1 try!


Here is my smb.conf file:


passdb backend = ldap:ldap://server
ldap suffix = dc=server
ldap user suffix = ou=People
ldap group suffix = ou=Groups
ldap machine suffix = ou=Computers
ldap idmap suffix = dc=server
ldap ssl = no
ldap admin dn = cn=admin,dc=server
ldap passwd sync = yes

add machine script = sudo /usr/sbin/smbldap-useradd -t 0 -w "%u"


Can anyone help me please?

Looks to me like your configuration is using the TLS transport mode, and it is probably not configured right. I would start by not using the TLS transport and see if you can get it working that way first then you can go on to trying to configure TLS.
