Thanks for your reply.

Does it mean i need to use samba4 and have to use inbuilt kerberos and ldap server because this link says ldap backend is not supported.

http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/LDAP_Backend#.28De.29motivation

If yes how would i migrate all the user from openldap to samba4?

Thanks
