Is it possible to create Samba users if we are using Novell Samba?
I see that the Samba iManager Plug-In is adding the sambaSamAccount aux
class and is populating the attributes sambaAcctFlags,
sambaPrimaryGroupSID and the sambaSID attributes. The UP policy
assigned I assume is all that is required for the password since that
is working.
The trick seems to be the sambaSID attribute.
Anyway, any help is appreciated!

A Samba user is just a LUM-enabled user with some extra attributes in
eDirectory. There is a CoolSolution for LUM-enabling users already.
You could also use the NX Settings driver that is part of IDM to do at
least the LUM-enabling though in reality any Null/Loopback driver can do
this easily enough.
Good luck.

I know how to provision users for Linux. I'm specifically curious about
the Samba piece. Like I mentioned earlier, the tricky attribute appears
to be the sambaSID attribute. Can I just put whatever value I want
there with a driver and the user will be valid to Samba?

As mentioned, there is one.... just not publicly-released.
Good luck.

I THINK I remember seeing the code inside the LinuxUnix Settings driver,
dump an example into a Designer workspace and check. I THINK there is
an attribute you need to get from the Server object (domainSID or
somesuch) and then you need to append a unique RID to it, which you get
from the object and increment? Or am I remembering this wrong...
