Hi, i'm trying to use ldap as a back end and samba for user auth (before completely moving all client to linux). We have 4 site on different city, which also maintain by 4 admins. What is the 'correct' suffix for those 4 site? I'm thinking of 2 options : 1. dc=siteOne,dc=mydomain,dc=com 2. dn=mydomain,dc=com Server design: all sites are connected using leased line, so problem in links should not interupt user in one site to authenticate(or modify their password) to their own ldap server, but all servers in all sites should be synch. What is the best design for that case? create one 'root' server (with all 4 server are 'children' of this svr) or create 4 independent server?
