Hi..all
i am trying to authenticate linux machine to samba4 for which i am 
trying very hard to do using below mention links
http://linuxcostablanca.blogspot.com.es/2013/04/ubuntu-client-for-samba4.html
http://zachbethel.wordpress.com/2013/04/10/linux-ldap-authentication-with-samba4/

okay so what is the question ?
some one told me "you can use ldap to authenticate there is no need to 
join linux machine to samba" so i searched and got this link 
http://zachbethel.wordpress.com/2013/04/10/linux-ldap-authentication-with-samba4/ 
which doesn't mention joining linux OR probably i am not able to 
understand it wholly what it is saying due to my confusion..?

So how do i authenticate linux using ldap ?

Did you got success using above link ?
using linuxcosta link i was somewhat near to success(joined domain ) but 
not able to login using domain user the only error it was showing was 
could not contact to ldap server (on local machine) . On server there 
was no error activity.

if some one can post there method of linux using samba4 would be great ..

thanks...
