This is the essence of the last message from Synology:
For Synology the problem is no problem...
They simply say now, we never claimed we are compatible with Samba AD,
only with Windows AD, Azure AD and Synology Directory Server:
?? ?"Domain/LDAP
?? ?Features
??? Seamless integration with Windows AD, Azure AD Domain Service, and
LDAP servers"
See: https://www.synology.com/en-global/dsm/7.1/software_spec/dsm
So they still say "Install the patch" or use just IP instead of
hostname.
So I think the next NAS won't be an Synology anymore.
