- - - - 4 November 2002 - - -LanMan and NT Password Encryption in Samba - - - - Introduction - - Newer windows clients send encrypted passwords over - the wire, instead of plain text passwords. The newest clients - will only send encrypted passwords and refuse to send plain text - passwords, unless their registry is tweaked. - - These passwords can't be converted to unix style encrypted - passwords. Because of that you can't use the standard unix - user database, and you have to store the Lanman and NT hashes - somewhere else. For more information, see the documentation - about the passdb backend = parameter. - - - - - - Important Notes About Security - - The unix and SMB password encryption techniques seem similar - on the surface. This similarity is, however, only skin deep. The unix - scheme typically sends clear text passwords over the network when - logging in. This is bad. The SMB encryption scheme never sends the - cleartext password over the network but it does store the 16 byte - hashed values on disk. This is also bad. Why? Because the 16 byte hashed - values are a "password equivalent". You cannot derive the user's - password from them, but they could potentially be used in a modified - client to gain access to a server. This would require considerable - technical knowledge on behalf of the attacker but is perfectly possible. - You should thus treat the smbpasswd file as though it contained the - cleartext passwords of all your users. Its contents must be kept - secret, and the file should be protected accordingly. - - Ideally we would like a password scheme which neither requires - plain text passwords on the net or on disk. Unfortunately this - is not available as Samba is stuck with being compatible with - other SMB systems (WinNT, WfWg, Win95 etc). - - - Note that Windows NT 4.0 Service pack 3 changed the - default for permissible authentication so that plaintext - passwords are never sent over the wire. - The solution to this is either to switch to encrypted passwords - with Samba or edit the Windows NT registry to re-enable plaintext - passwords. See the document WinNT.txt for details on how to do - this. - - Other Microsoft operating systems which also exhibit - this behavior includes - - - MS DOS Network client 3.0 with - the basic network redirector installed - - Windows 95 with the network redirector - update installed - - Windows 98 [se] - - Windows 2000 - - - Note :All current release of - Microsoft SMB/CIFS clients support authentication via the - SMB Challenge/Response mechanism described here. Enabling - clear text authentication does not disable the ability - of the client to participate in encrypted authentication. - - - - Advantages of SMB Encryption - - - plain text passwords are not passed across - the network. Someone using a network sniffer cannot just - record passwords going to the SMB server. - - - WinNT doesn't like talking to a server - that isn't using SMB encrypted passwords. It will refuse - to browse the server if the server is also in user level - security mode. It will insist on prompting the user for the - password on each connection, which is very annoying. The - only things you can do to stop this is to use SMB encryption. - - - - - - - Advantages of non-encrypted passwords - - - plain text passwords are not kept - on disk. - - uses same password file as other unix - services such as login and ftp - - you are probably already using other - services (such as telnet and ftp) which send plain text - passwords over the net, so sending them for SMB isn't - such a big deal. - - - - - - - The smbpasswd Command - - The smbpasswd command maintains the two 32 byte password fields - in the smbpasswd file. If you wish to make it similar to the unix - passwd or yppasswd programs, - install it in /usr/local/samba/bin/ (or your - main Samba binary directory). - - smbpasswd now works in a client-server mode - where it contacts the local smbd to change the user's password on its - behalf. This has enormous benefits - as follows. - - smbpasswd now has the capability - to change passwords on Windows NT servers (this only works when - the request is sent to the NT Primary Domain Controller if you - are changing an NT Domain user's password). - - To run smbpasswd as a normal user just type : - - $ smbpasswd - Old SMB password: <type old value here - - or hit return if there was no old password> - New SMB Password: <type new value> - - Repeat New SMB Password: <re-type new value - - - If the old value does not match the current value stored for - that user, or the two new values do not match each other, then the - password will not be changed. - - If invoked by an ordinary user it will only allow the user - to change his or her own Samba password. - - If run by the root user smbpasswd may take an optional - argument, specifying the user name whose SMB password you wish to - change. Note that when run as root smbpasswd does not prompt for - or check the old password value, thus allowing root to set passwords - for users who have forgotten their passwords. - - smbpasswd is designed to work in the same way - and be familiar to UNIX users who use the passwd or - yppasswd commands. - - For more details on using smbpasswd refer - to the man page which will always be the definitive reference. - - - diff --git a/docs/docbook/projdoc/Samba-LDAP-HOWTO.sgml b/docs/docbook/projdoc/Samba-LDAP-HOWTO.sgml deleted file mode 100644 index f294ddd1ff..0000000000 --- a/docs/docbook/projdoc/Samba-LDAP-HOWTO.sgml +++ /dev/null @@ -1,593 +0,0 @@ - - - - - Gerald (Jerry)Carter - - Samba Team -

- - - - - (13 Jan 2002) - - -Storing Samba's User/Machine Account information in an LDAP Directory - - -Purpose - - -This document describes how to use an LDAP directory for storing Samba user -account information traditionally stored in the smbpasswd(5) file. It is -assumed that the reader already has a basic understanding of LDAP concepts -and has a working directory server already installed. For more information -on LDAP architectures and Directories, please refer to the following sites. - - - - OpenLDAP - http://www.openldap.org/ - iPlanet Directory Server - http://iplanet.netscape.com/directory - - - -Note that O'Reilly Publishing is working on -a guide to LDAP for System Administrators which has a planned release date of -early summer, 2002. - - - -Two additional Samba resources which may prove to be helpful are - - - - The Samba-PDC-LDAP-HOWTO - maintained by Ignacio Coupeau. - - The NT migration scripts from IDEALX that are - geared to manage users and group in such a Samba-LDAP Domain Controller configuration. - - - - - - - -Introduction - - -Traditionally, when configuring "encrypt -passwords = yes" in Samba's smb.conf file, user account -information such as username, LM/NT password hashes, password change times, and account -flags have been stored in the smbpasswd(5) file. There are several -disadvantages to this approach for sites with very large numbers of users (counted -in the thousands). - - - - -The first is that all lookups must be performed sequentially. Given that -there are approximately two lookups per domain logon (one for a normal -session connection such as when mapping a network drive or printer), this -is a performance bottleneck for lareg sites. What is needed is an indexed approach -such as is used in databases. - - - -The second problem is that administrators who desired to replicate a -smbpasswd file to more than one Samba server were left to use external -tools such as rsync(1) and ssh(1) -and wrote custom, in-house scripts. - - - -And finally, the amount of information which is stored in an -smbpasswd entry leaves no room for additional attributes such as -a home directory, password expiration time, or even a Relative -Identified (RID). - - - - -As a result of these defeciencies, a more robust means of storing user attributes -used by smbd was developed. The API which defines access to user accounts -is commonly referred to as the samdb interface (previously this was called the passdb -API, and is still so named in the CVS trees). In Samba 2.2.3, enabling support -for a samdb backend (e.g. --with-ldapsam or ---with-tdbsam) requires compile time support. - - - -When compiling Samba to include the --with-ldapsam autoconf -option, smbd (and associated tools) will store and lookup user accounts in -an LDAP directory. In reality, this is very easy to understand. If you are -comfortable with using an smbpasswd file, simply replace "smbpasswd" with -"LDAP directory" in all the documentation. - - - -There are a few points to stress about what the --with-ldapsam -does not provide. The LDAP support referred to in the this documentation does not -include: - - - - A means of retrieving user account information from - an Windows 2000 Active Directory server. - A means of replacing /etc/passwd. - - - -The second item can be accomplished by using LDAP NSS and PAM modules. LGPL -versions of these libraries can be obtained from PADL Software -(http://www.padl.com/). However, -the details of configuring these packages are beyond the scope of this document. - - - - - -Supported LDAP Servers - - -The LDAP samdb code in 2.2.3 has been developed and tested using the OpenLDAP -2.0 server and client libraries. The same code should be able to work with -Netscape's Directory Server and client SDK. However, due to lack of testing -so far, there are bound to be compile errors and bugs. These should not be -hard to fix. If you are so inclined, please be sure to forward all patches to -samba-patches@samba.org and -jerry@samba.org. - - - - - - - - -Schema and Relationship to the RFC 2307 posixAccount - - - -Samba 2.2.3 includes the necessary schema file for OpenLDAP 2.0 in -examples/LDAP/samba.schema. (Note that this schema -file has been modified since the experimental support initially included -in 2.2.2).

The OID's are -owned by the Samba Team and as such is legal to be openly published. -If you translate the schema to be used with Netscape DS, please -submit the modified schema file as a patch to jerry@samba.org - - - -Just as the smbpasswd file is mean to store information which supplements a -user's /etc/passwd entry, so is the sambaAccount object -meant to supplement the UNIX user account information. A sambaAccount is a -STRUCTURAL objectclass so it can be stored individually -in the directory. However, there are several fields (e.g. uid) which overlap -with the posixAccount objectclass outlined in RFC2307. This is by design. - - - - - -In order to store all user account information (UNIX and Samba) in the directory, -it is necessary to use the sambaAccount and posixAccount objectclasses in -combination. However, smbd will still obtain the user's UNIX account -information via the standard C library calls (e.g. getpwnam(), et. al.). -This means that the Samba server must also have the LDAP NSS library installed -and functioning correctly.
