Hello everybody,
_
I'll_try_to_find_out_some_info_about_Samba_and_a_way_to_put_x509_

authenticate_method_but_i_don't_find_anything_clear_about_it.

_

I_found_in_the_how-to_v3_some_stuff_about_authenticate_PAM_module_to_use_

with_samba_but_I_don't_know_if_I_look_in_the_right_direction.

_

I_have_a_samba_server_running_for_a_lots_of_time_based_on_smbpass_DB.

We_plan_to_use_our_PKI_certs_to_authenticate_my_colleges_on_the_file_

server_but_I_don't_really_know_how_to_do_such_a_thing.

_

I_think_I_need_to_configure_Samba_server_to_deal_with_a_radius_server_

like_freeradius_where_I_can_configure_X509_authenticate_conf._to_allow_

users_with_non_revoked_certificates.

I_don't_really_know_how_the_Windows_clients_will_deal_with_the_samba_

server,_how_the_process_can_work_and_if_Windows_will_ask_for_

certificates_instead_of_login_and_pass...

_

Do_you_think_it's_the_way_to_do_?

There_is_not_a_more_simply_way_to_make_this_stuff_out_?

_

thank_you_for_your_advices,_I'm_aware_of_them_:)
