After struggling through the HowTo for quite a while (I have some . . . comments, if anyone is interested), I have a working active directory domain, for which I (and my bosses, who sign the checks) thank everyone. Now is integration time. Is there a way to make a shared address book through Samba? Or am I stuck with beating my head against ldap again?
Can you use an LDAP Browser/Editor (e.g Apache Directory Studio) to manage the samba ldap server? Maybe see what attributes you can add/modify? I have used Apache Directory Studio to modify LDAP attributes with Microsoft AD on Win 2003/2008. I would guess the samba 4 ldap schema has to support many of the same attributes. I have not played with samba 4 yet so just a guess.

Or am I stuck > with beating my head against ldap again?I installed a program called Davical on my Samba4 server, it provides shared address books and calendars using CalDAV and CardDAV protocol, and authenticates against the active directory. it supports many clients, including outlook if you buy a 3rd party add-on, though I have found many CalDAV/CardDAV clients are a bit lacking. It also allows you to use the AD groups to easily assign permissions. The only real drawback to it is that you have to remember to sync it to the active directory after you add a new user or group, but for me that is a very small price to pay. Hope that is helpful.
