[Samba] Samba4 and phpLdapAdmin

[Stephen Jones]

Hi,

My advice would be to steer clear of phpLdapAdmin with Samba4 AD.  When
I first setup my Samba4 DC I did install phpLdapAdmin and connected to
the AD domain.  Just browsing the directory produced some strange errors
that made me rather nervous.  I dared not to edit anything because it
would probably break AD.  I removed phpLdapAdmin.

I was actually not surprised by this.  Although MS say AD is LDAP
compliant, the word 'compliant' is rather subjective.  MS included
'other' things in AD and have done some things differently to a *normal*
LDAP directory.  Any tool used on AD has to be designed to work with AD.

The best way to manage users in Samba4 is with the ADUC tool included
with the MS RSAT pack.  Install RSAT on a Windows client joined to the
domain.  It works beautifully.

Regards,
