samba - Oct 2016 - It is possible to use Samba4 for a LDAP server authentication?

My company uses 389-ds and we're thinking if it is possible using Samba4 as
an AD DC to manage our users.


However we want to syncronize the users informations (as passwords and others
attributes) in our LDAP server and Samba4.


So what i need to know is, even with the difference between the LDAP server and
Samba4 structure, it is possible to use Samba4 for an external LDAP server
authentication and other LDAP purposes?

Sure you can authenticate to Samba AD using the LDAP(S) protocol.
Additionally, it enables you to authenticate using Kerberos, which is
even more cool. :-)
