[Samba] Your advices regarding authentication methods compatible with S4

[Olivier BILHAUT]

Hi Andrew, Hi Sam, 

Many thanks for your quick replies, we already
worked on this doc page but due to the lack of smart card reader/writer,
we did not finished the setup. We'll buy some hadware and create a
testing S4 lab to finish this config. 

What about biometry ? Is there a
way to store any biometrical information into the ldap backend ? 

Is
there by any chance any other third-party authentication method/tool
that we can plug on S4 ? We would be pleased to avoid using another
smart card if possible. 

Cheers.

know how up to date it is, but the expectation seems to be that it
should be able to work with alternative forms of authentication (with
Kerberos PKINIT).
