Description Victor Mataré 2010-08-18 09:16:28 UTC 
The man page suggests putting ldap server URIs in double quotes. However when I specify:

passdb backend = ldapsam:"ldap://server"

I get:

# net sam provision
Checking for Domain Users group.
Adding the Domain Users group.
[2010/08/18 15:52:53.471848,  0] lib/smbldap.c:757(smb_ldap_setup_conn)
  ldap_initialize: Bad parameter to an ldap routine
[2010/08/18 15:52:54.472040,  0] lib/smbldap.c:757(smb_ldap_setup_conn)
  ldap_initialize: Bad parameter to an ldap routine
...

But when I specify:

passdb backend = ldapsam:ldap://server

Everything works fine. That's pretty counterintuitive...

Günther, is this by design?
