[Samba] Apache2 Kerberos-Authentication and LDAP-Authorization

[L.P.H. van Belle]

Few small tips security wise. 

Remove this line from you apache config:
AuthLDAPBindPassword {password of user "http-{servername}"}
And use : 
Include /path/to/the_password_file.conf    	
Containing above line you removed.

Second. 
Setting : KrbMethodK5Passwd On
Should only be used on if the website is on HTTPS 
User credentials are send in clear text. 

And for ldaps, you need specify the location and format of the CA
certificate that has been imported into Active Directory.
