[ale] samba with external LDAP or Read only

[Chris.Hendry at turner.com (Hendry, Chris)]

I'd like to set up a samba share with LDAP authentication.
I do not have any admin abilities on the LDAP server, only need read ability.

Cannot set smbpasswd -w <admin password>, thus get in log:
failed to bind to server ldap://xxx-xxx.xxx.com/ with dn="cn=Manager,dc=xxx,dc=xxx,dc=com" Error: Invalid credentials
        (unknown)

Alternatives?
