[Samba] ldapsearch with ldaps

It took me a really long time to get a working solution for Dovecot + 
Postfix (+ Sogo), where everything is single-signon with Krb5 (authn) + 
LDAP (authz).

So if I can save you time and frustration by posting my configs, I am 
happy to help :-)

There another thing that you may find helpful: I have put interactive 
users and groups under "OU=Groupware,DC=samdom,DC=com", so that there is 
a single basedn that is the startpoint for interactive-user and group 
searches. At this basedn all Windows-AD stuff is invisible and also Sogo 
(+TB-Lightening) is limited to a single search-root.
