samba - Jun 2012 - Samba3+OpenLDAP -> Samba4 implications.

Hi everyone,

I might be going over old stuff, and if so, I apologise.

I administer a network that uses Samba 3 with an OpenLDAP backend for domain
logons, printing and file sharing. I am interested in moving to Samba4 for the
domain control side of things, but the twist is that I have many other things
relying on OpenLDAP for authentication and configuration, with several custom
schemas.

Is there a samba4 schema for OpenLDAP or is there a migration path for networks
like mine?

There is an upgrade path; the proceedure for doing upgrade provisioning
is on the Samba4 wiki.  At this point it works pretty well.
