<title>Upgrading from Samba-2.x to Samba-3.0.0</title>


<sect1>
<title>New Features in Samba-3</title>

<para>
Major new features:
</para>

<orderedlist numberation="arabic">
	<listitem><para>
	Active Directory support. This release is able to join a ADS realm
	as a member server and authenticate users using LDAP/kerberos.
	</para></listitem>

	<listitem><para>
	Unicode support. Samba will now negotiate UNICODE on the wire and
	internally there is now a much better infrastructure for multi-byte
	and UNICODE character sets.
	</para></listitem>

	<listitem><para>
	New authentication system. The internal authentication system has
	been almost completely rewritten. Most of the changes are internal,
	but the new auth system is also very configurable.
	</para></listitem>

	<listitem><para>
	New filename mangling system. The filename mangling system has been
	completely rewritten. An internal database now stores mangling maps
	persistently. This needs lots of testing.
	</para></listitem>

	<listitem><para>
	New "net" command. A new "net" command has been added. It is
	somewhat similar to the "net" command in windows. Eventually we
	plan to replace a bunch of other utilities (such as smbpasswd)
	with subcommands in "net", at the moment only a few things are
	implemented.
	</para></listitem>

	<listitem><para>
	Samba now negotiates NT-style status32 codes on the wire. This
	improves error handling a lot.
	</para></listitem>

	<listitem><para>
	Better Windows 2000/XP/2003 printing support including publishing
	printer attributes in active directory
	</para></listitem>

	<listitem><para>
	New loadable RPC modules
	</para></listitem>

	<listitem><para>
	New dual-daemon winbindd support (-B) for better performance
	</para></listitem>

	<listitem><para>
	Support for migrating from a Windows NT 4.0 domain to a Samba
	domain and maintaining user, group and domain SIDs
	</para></listitem>

	<listitem><para>
	Support for establishing trust relationships with Windows NT 4.0
	domain controllers
	</para></listitem>

	<listitem><para>
	Initial support for a distributed Winbind architecture using
	an LDAP directory for storing SID to uid/gid mappings
	</para></listitem>

	<listitem><para>
	Major updates to the Samba documentation tree.
	</para></listitem>
</orderedlist>
<para>
Plus lots of other improvements!

	<title>Databases</title>

	<para>
	This section contains brief descriptions of any new databases
	introduced in Samba 3.0.  Please remember to backup your existing
	${lock directory}/*tdb before upgrading to Samba 3.0.  Samba will
	upgrade databases as they are opened (if necessary), but downgrading
	from 3.0 to 2.2 is an unsupported path.

	<title>Changes in Behavior</title>

	<para>
	The following issues are known changes in behavior between Samba 2.2 and
	Samba 3.0 that may affect certain installations of Samba.
	</para>

	<orderedlist>
		<listitem><para>
		When operating as a member of a Windows domain, Samba 2.2 would
		map any users authenticated by the remote DC to the 'guest account'
		if a uid could not be obtained via the getpwnam() call.  Samba 3.0
		rejects the connection as NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE.  There is no
		current work around to re-establish the 2.2 behavior.
		</para></listitem>

		<listitem><para>
		When adding machines to a Samba 2.2 controlled domain, the
		'add user script' was used to create the UNIX identity of the
		machine trust account.  Samba 3.0 introduces a new 'add machine
		script' that must be specified for this purpose.  Samba 3.0 will
		not fall back to using the 'add user script' in the absence of
		an 'add machine script'
		</para></listitem>
	</orderedlist>

	</sect2>

	<sect2>
	<title>Charsets</title>

	<para>
	You might experience problems with special characters when communicating with old DOS
	clients. Codepage support has changed in samba 3.0. Read the chapter
	<link linkend="unicode">Unicode support</link> for details.
	</para>

	</sect2>

	<sect2>
	<title>Passdb Backends and Authentication</title>

	<para>
	There have been a few new changes that Samba administrators should be
	aware of when moving to Samba 3.0.
	</para>

	<orderedlist>
		<listitem><para>
		Encrypted passwords have been enabled by default in order to
		inter-operate better with out-of-the-box Windows client
		installations.  This does mean that either (a) a samba account
		must be created for each user, or (b) 'encrypt passwords = no'
		must be explicitly defined in smb.conf.
		</para></listitem>

		<listitem><para>
				Inclusion of new <parameter>security = ads</parameter> option for integration
		with an Active Directory domain using the native Windows
		Kerberos 5 and LDAP protocols.
		</para></listitem>
	</orderedlist>

	<para>
	Samba 3.0 also includes the possibility of setting up chains
	of authentication methods 
	(<parameter>auth methods</parameter>) and account
	storage backends 
	(<parameter>passdb backend</parameter>). 
	Please refer to the &smb.conf;
	man page and <link linkend="passdb"/> for details.  While both parameters assume sane default
	values, it is likely that you will need to understand what the
	values actually mean in order to ensure Samba operates correctly.
	</para>

	<para>
	Certain functions of the smbpasswd(8) tool have been split between the
	new smbpasswd(8) utility, the net(8) tool, and the new pdbedit(8)
	utility.  See the respective man pages for details.
	</para>

		<title>New Schema</title>

		<para>
		A new object class (sambaSamAccount) has been introduced to replace
		the old sambaAccount.  This change aids us in the renaming of attributes
		to prevent clashes with attributes from other vendors.  There is a
		conversion script (examples/LDAP/convertSambaAccount) to modify and LDIF
		file to the new schema.
		</para>

		<para>
			Example:
		</para>
		<para><screen>
		$ ldapsearch .... -b "ou=people,dc=..." &gt; old.ldif
		$ convertSambaAccount &lt;DOM SID&gt; old.ldif new.ldif
		</screen></para>

		<para>
		The &lt;DOM SID&gt; can be obtained by running 'net getlocalsid &lt;DOMAINNAME&gt;
		on the Samba PDC as root.
		</para>

		<para>
		The old sambaAccount schema may still be used by specifying the
		"ldapsam_compat" passdb backend.  However, the sambaAccount and
		associated attributes have been moved to the historical section of
		the schema file and must be uncommented before use if needed.
		The 2.2 object class declaration for a sambaAccount has not changed
		in the 3.0 samba.schema file.
		</para>

		<para>
		Other new object classes and their uses include:
		</para>

		<itemizedlist>
			<listitem><para>
			sambaDomain - domain information used to allocate rids
			for users and groups as necessary.  The attributes are added
			in 'ldap suffix' directory entry automatically if
			an idmap uid/gid range has been set and the 'ldapsam'
			passdb backend has been selected.
			</para></listitem>

			<listitem><para>
			sambaGroupMapping - an object representing the
			relationship between a posixGroup and a Windows
			group/SID.  These entries are stored in the 'ldap
			group suffix' and managed by the 'net groupmap' command.
			</para></listitem>

			<listitem><para>
			sambaUnixIdPool - created in the 'ldap idmap suffix' entry
			automatically and contains the next available 'idmap uid' and
			'idmap gid'
			</para></listitem>

			<listitem><para>
			sambaIdmapEntry - object storing a mapping between a
			SID and a UNIX uid/gid.  These objects are created by the
			idmap_ldap module as needed.
			</para></listitem>
		</itemizedlist>

		</sect3>

		<sect3>
		<title>New Suffix for Searching</title>

		<para>
		The following new smb.conf parameters have been added to aid in directing
		certain LDAP queries when 'passdb backend = ldapsam://...' has been
		specified.
		</para>

		<itemizedlist>
			<listitem><para>ldap suffix         - used to search for user and computer accounts</para></listitem>
			<listitem><para>ldap user suffix    - used to store user accounts</para></listitem>
			<listitem><para>ldap machine suffix - used to store machine trust accounts</para></listitem>
			<listitem><para>ldap group suffix   - location of posixGroup/sambaGroupMapping entries</para></listitem>
			<listitem><para>ldap idmap suffix   - location of sambaIdmapEntry objects</para></listitem>
		</itemizedlist>

		<para>
		If an 'ldap suffix' is defined, it will be appended to all of the
		remaining sub-suffix parameters.  In this case, the order of the suffix
		listings in smb.conf is important.  Always place the 'ldap suffix' first
		in the list.
		</para>

		<para>
		Due to a limitation in Samba's smb.conf parsing, you should not surround
		the DN's with quotation marks.
		</para>

		</sect3>

		<sect3>
		<title>IdMap LDAP support</title>

		<para>
		Samba 3.0 supports an ldap backend for the idmap subsystem.  The
		following options would inform Samba that the idmap table should be
		stored on the directory server onterose in the "ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,
		dc=org" partition.
		</para>

		<para><screen>
		[global]
		   ...
		   idmap backend     = ldap:ldap://onterose/
		   ldap idmap suffix = ou=idmap,dc=plainjoe,dc=org
		   idmap uid         = 40000-50000
		   idmap gid         = 40000-50000
		</screen></para>

		<para>
		This configuration allows winbind installations on multiple servers to
		share a uid/gid number space, thus avoiding the interoperability problems
		with NFS that were present in Samba 2.2.
		</para>
