[Samba] AD to authenticate users against Samba + LDAP
Hi all, I was wondering if it is possible to make MS Active Directory to authenticate against Samba + LDAP? I have a working Samba + LDAP setup in the data centre and need to have MS Active Directory to authenticate against the userbase which has been already setup on Samba + LDAP. I have seen user guides on how to make samba to authenticate against AD, but not other way around. Is it possible at all? Are there any useful guides? Many thanks

You have to wait for samba 4. Or alternatively, look at previous post 'Heimdal/AD documentation' if you're ready to setup a Kerberos database alongside your LDAP server. -- Guillaume Rousse Moyens Informatiques - INRIA Futurs Tel: 01 69 35 69 62
