I'm working to setup a Samba 4 AD DC and ran through the howto on the wiki. https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba_AD_DC_HOWTO What type of database backend is Samba using? Is it using the LDAP server internal to Samba or a tdb database? The man page for smb.conf says that the default passdb backend is tdb, so I was curious what Samba-Tool is going. Thanks, -- Greg

The Samba AD internal LDAP is using LDB files for storing its content. 'passdb backend' is used for local accounts on Member Servers and PDCs. There you have the choice. But this parameter is not relevant for an Samba AD DC. Regards, Marc
