[Samba] NT4 Domain PDC with Ldap backend and domain members

Hi, thanks for your answer.
We are migrating on AD, but the legacy domain will stay for few a months. I still use samba 4.2 (before upgrading every file server).
I don't understand how winbind will be used. I don't need an ou=Idmap as user entry in uid=login already contains the association between uid and sambaSID in the openldap passdb backend (on the DC).
I just need the domain member to use that information, it seems that winbind is unable to do that : it's going to make it's own uid <> sid mapping and store it in ldap ou=idmap.
Maybe it's not possible to correctly use domain member with a samba 3 + openldap pdc ? I didn't find any winbind doc covering that case...
Cheers

Yes, do what Andrew said, use winbind, in fact, if you are using Samba
>= 4.8.0, you must use winbind. From Samba 4.8.0, smbd can no longer
contact the PDC directly, it must use winbind.
>From the release notes for 4.8.0:
Setups with "security = domain" or "security = ads" require a running
'winbindd' now. The fallback that smbd directly contacts domain
controllers is gone.
Can I also suggest that you consider upgrading to AD, before it stops
working again (Microsoft has twice broken NT4-style domains by accident,
they fixed them, next time they might not).
