samba - Nov 2018 - Samba4 with ldap3-protocol?

Hi list,

I know, there exist ldb*-tools for communicating with samba4 and these
work fine, but for using an API in several languages exist libraries for
communication via ldap3-protocol (+ ssl, not kerberos, i.e. in Rust). Is
there a possibility to use these connectors for communication with samba
4, esp. reading entries like ldbsearch?

Tfh!

I think you are asking if you can use tools such as ldapsearch with a
Samba AD DC, if so, then the answer is yes. The ldap used in a Samba AD
DC is LDAPv3 compatible.
