Thanks Wilco, I'm understand.

For example - how many type of replication of internal LDAP exists in 
samba4? Is the internal ldap support foreign schemas for 3d party 
application? Is there support complex ACLs?

What and how I could make to use all of these function with samba4 
without openldap support?
How I could make many separeted by location samba4 instances with one 
point of change?

Samba3 is one of many LDAP-enabled application and storing data in 
shared storage such as ldap. What feature is, when every single 
application will use it's own (partially compatible or not compatible 
with other at all) ldap server to store only it's own (not shared) data 
in it?

I saw a wiki page with description of problems between Samba4 and 
OpenLDAP.. Yes, there is a problems, so there is not only problems and 
many features which extends classical Samba3 features. Are you ready to 
refuse to support these or re-invent of wheel?

I'm not programmer, sorry. But I already done many great things with 
OpenLDAP and Samba3. And I thought that I will do same with samba4.

Best wishes,
Gennady.
