[Samba] samba 4 and zarafa 7.x

[Markus Bajones]

Hi Louis,

i think yo can store the needed zarafa information inside samba4. And with
the zarafaads.exe you can install the zarafa bits in the ads.msc mangament
console on each windows machine from which you want to change
zarafa-enabled users. But I think the community edition of zarafa is not
able to authenticate against this AD setup. According [1] you will need at
least the Small Business edition to use the Active Directory features.
As even the low price is too much for me i will try to achieve it with
zentyal [2].

Maybe this can be interesting and helpful for you too.

Greetings,
Markus
