smbldap - where to start?

[John Hegarty]

The last time I set up an Ubuntu server that would handle Windows & Apple
clients as well as Linux thin clients I used the smbldap installer detailed
here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SmbLdapInstaller. It was a few years ago and it
worked fine. (Thank you to the folk who developed and supported this at the
time)

Support for this seems to have discontinued. I am now looking to do the same
on a new server but I'm having problems. I tried using the documentation
here https://help.ubuntu.com/9.10/serverguide/C/network-authentication.htmlbut
have fallen at the first hurdle. After installing - which gave no
error
messages - I tried what is in the documentation

> Use *ldapsearch* to view the tree, entering the admin password set during
> installation or reconfiguration:
>
*ldapsearch -xLLL -b cn=config -D cn=admin,cn=config -W olcDatabase={1}hdb*

It says to use the password set during installation - During
installation I wasn't asked to set a password. Anything I try returns

ldap_bind : Invalid credentials
>

I'm wondering

1. Can anyone suggest how to fix the above problem
2. Is there better documentation or a better way to have single sign on for
a network with Windows, Linux and Apple clients linking to a Linux server?

Thanks
