samba - Jun 2013 - Samba 4 with FreeIPA as Backend

Hi everyone,

I am new to this mailing list.

At the moment I would like to migrate all of my users from Microsoft Active
Directory to Open Source, and what I have in mind is getting it into Samba
4.

In extending the functionality of it, I decided to intergrate FreeIPA as
the backend to Samba 4.

I saw some obsolete reference on how to use FreeIPA as Samba 4 backend, but
I don't know where are the new reference.

Herewith I would seek advise on how to go for my mission.

Thank you

Regards

Samba 4.0 as an AD DC can not use anything other than it's own LDB
database as a backend.

FreeIPA I understand is able to sync or integrate with an AD DC, but you
would need to ask them about that.
