[Samba] Question on approach to authenticate Linux against Samba4

[dahopkins at comcast.net]

Thank you for the very quick response. But in trying to follow the suggested link, there are few steps are different. 

First, Step 3 is to install various packages. I already have auth-client-config installed which had installed libpam_ldap and libnss-ldap since I simply pulled this system into the test environment rather than rebuild from scratch. I have uninstalled these and then added libnss-ldapd and libpam-ldapd along with the kerberos packages. Issue is that I was never asked for a Kerberos realm or IP of the DC. I should have mentioned that this system is running 10.04, not 12.04. So .. which config file do I need to edit to ensure that the IP of the DC is correctly specified? I also installed nslcd. 

Step 6: I already have samba-common, and samba-common-bin (latest for 10.04) installed. I'd assume I need to uninstall these and install samba4 instead (especially as step 8 is to join the domain). 

Sincerely, 
Dave Hopkins

Hi 
Ok, I can understand that. So why not have a look at nss-pam-ldapd with 
nslcd? It's almost as good as sssd and it's quick and easy to setup:
