We run Apple's OD to support our Linux, Mac, and Windows clients and servers. We are under pressure to use AD because more and more software coming out for Windows requires it.

Is there a way to get Samba 4 running so that it is able to use the existing LDAP and

Hi I successfully compiled samba4 on my ubuntu. Actually, most our Linux servers are using en openldap base to authenticate.
