Simple www interface to change samba password for users

[poldas]

Hi

I've have small problem. I use FreeNAS in workgroup in small office, users sometimes change password to windows and next have trouble with connect to samba, because password to windows and samba is diffrent. Is it possible to add in the future small form via www to change samba password for users? :)

It is small office so we don't have AD but workgroup

I believe cyberjock is hinting at the new Samba4 feature in FreeNAS. You can set up your own domain using FreeNAS. Without a domain, password changing interfaces are difficult to implement securely.

If you don't want to go to the cost for licensing Windows Server and using AD, you can always use LDAP, and then a plugin like pGINA for Windows: http://pgina.org/

I use pGINA on my network, because all of my machines are *nix machines, with the exception of my main gaming desktop, which is Windows. But you could just as easily have an entire network full of Windows machines using pGINA to access a central LDAP server.
