I am trying to install SWAT for Samba on CentOS 7 using "yum install",
But failed to find it.
Could you help?

Sorry, but swat has been removed from Samba and is no longer available.

It depends on what your samba setup is, for instance, if your Samba
machine is running as an AD DC, you could use 'samba-tool' on the DC, or
ADUC on a windows machine.

There is also Ldap Account Manager (LAM)

It was removed nearly three years ago because, as far as I am aware, it
wasn't being maintained and didn't work with an AD DC.
There does not seem to any GUI replacement being worked on, but I am
sure that a patch to add one, will be examined sympathetically.
