[Samba] Support for Linux Authentication with Samba4's Internal LDAP Server

[Andrew Martin]

Hello, 


This topic has been touched on in the past, but I'd like to ask for additional clarification on the structure of the internal LDAP server that Samba4 provides. I currently am using OpenLDAP for authenticating Linux servers and a number of web-based services. I also use Samba 3 for presenting shares to Windows users, but it maintains a separate password database. I would like to migrate to a single sign-on, ideally using Samba4. I use the inetOrgPerson schema for users ( http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/dd26/ldap.akbkhome.com/objectclass/ inet OrgPerson.html ) and the posixGroup schema for groups ( http://www.andrew.cmu.edu/user/dd26/ldap.akbkhome.com/objectclass/posixGroup.html ). Does the internal LDAP server in Samba4 support these schemas? I don't mind writing some scripts to manually populate/update additional fields as needed, but need to know that services which expect a regular LDAP server would be able to utilize the Samba4 one? 


Thanks, 


Andrew Martin
