samba - Aug 2018 - Samba AD API

We need to create/update users from our web app (PHP). We are used to use
standard PHP LDAP functions (ldapmodify) to manage users in our actual
samba3 NT4 style LDAP domain.
  Can we continue to use these functions against samba AD server or we
should use some smarter, dedicated AD API? Is AD LDAP only place, where
user informations are being stored?

  Thanks, Michal

Seeing as AD uses different objectclasses and attributes, probably not
as is, but you should be able to re-write.

You could use ADUC on windows.
