HI, sorry, but I don't really understand your question, do you mean,
'can you use Samba4 with an external ldap or must you use the internal
ldap ?'
If so, then the answer is yes AND no :-D
Yes, you can use an external ldap, but you would have to set Samba4 up
just like you would Samba3, or to put it another way, you could not have
an AD DC.
No, if you want Samba4 to operate like an AD DC, then you must use the
builtin ldap, this doesn't operate exactly like openldap, but is similar
and can do virtually everything that openldap can do.
