Reviews of "zimbraSambaPassword Extension"

Perfect

by tim.mothery on Sep 07, 2010 for version 0.1

I'm moving my whole company (approx 350 windows clients) over to LDAP and Samba and couldn't find a clean way to change the NT password. As we use Zimbra (since early v4) this is the perfect way to do it. Users now have a 'web' interface to change (all) their password for both Samba and Zimbra. All other solutions presume that your running Samba as a domain controller which we don't and don't want to.

Thanks.

P.S. The ReadMe mentions avioding the mkntpwd in favour of a pure Java implementation. Maybe this python code snippet will help

>>> import hashlib>>> nt_password = hashlib.new('md4', 'test'.encode('utf-16le')).hexdigest()>>> nt_password'0cb6948805f797bf2a82807973b89537'

Hi Tim

Yes, I agree with you: it's not a pure java implementation.
It simply was a (maybe better?) follow-up of my previous post on Zimbra Forums.
If anyone is interested I can recode it in a pure java way.

Thank you

synchronized password

by mnbvmnbv on Mar 14, 2011 for version 0.1

Hi,

When I install the zimbraSambaPassword extension, how can I specify the url of my external active directory to synchronized the passwords??

Thanks, excellent zimlet :D

Hi,

There's no needs to do it in the zimlet.
You have to enter your external AD server as usually in Zimbra. That's all.

Thanks a lot.

Any good news for 7.x?

by mbayram on Apr 09, 2012 for version 0.1

Amessina, is there any development for 7.x?

7.x??

by marcelofr on May 08, 2012 for version 0.1

Hello amessina, I've installed your extension on 7.1.4 and I broke authentication successfully... I'm reversing manual README instructions, but I don't know how to reverse "zmprov modifyConfig zimbraPasswordChangeListener sambapassword".

I hope you can code the new version soon!!!

Pure Java Version

by vinzenz on Aug 03, 2012 for version 0.1

For anyone interested, here is a modified version of the presented extension of amessina without external binary:

It works fine for me on a 7.2.0 test server.

NOTE: This extension only updates the NT hash, not LM. LM is outdated and should not be used anymore.
