14.3.3. Domain Controller
A domain controller in Windows NT is functionally similar to a Network Information Service (NIS) server in a Linux environment. Domain controllers and NIS servers both host user/group information databases as well as related services. Domain controllers are mainly used for security, including the authentication of users accessing domain resources. The service that maintains the user/group database integrity is called the Security Account Manager (SAM). The SAM database is stored differently between Windows and Linux Samba-based systems, therefore SAM replication cannot be achieved and platforms cannot be mixed in a PDC/BDC environment.
In a Samba environment, there can be only one PDC and zero or more BDCs.
Important
Samba cannot exist in a mixed Samba/Windows domain controller environment (Samba cannot be a BDC of a Windows PDC or vice versa). Alternatively, Samba PDCs and BDCs can coexist.
14.3.3.1. Primary Domain Controller (PDC) using tdbsam
The simplest and most common implementation of a Samba PDC uses the
tdbsam
password database backend. Planned to replace the aging smbpasswd
backend, tdbsam
has numerous improvements that are explained in more detail in Section 14.5, “ Samba Account Information Databases ”. The passdb backend
directive controls which backend is to be used for the PDC.

Note
If you need more than one domain controller or have more than 250 users, do not use a
tdbsam
authentication backend. LDAP is recommended in these cases.
