samba - Jul 2020 - helping to implement samba 4 AD with ldap backend

But if I have my proper ldap with my other software binding to and existing
ldap whats I do ?
We have various applications binding to ldap via an interface ?
If is not possible we have to re-make the api-interface to maintain two
ldap, replicating users and passwords and properties.

OK for that way (builtin ldap) is it possible to access/modify via ldap
tools / languages / libraries, like php/rubi /etc ?
Because if it is the only way we need to continue updating the user data
(on ldap repository) from one place via our interface.

I am sure that I have already told you this, you would be better off 
adding the required schemas to AD, but to do this you need to upgrade.

It looks like your system started out using the Ebox OS, which morphed 
into Zentyal and this OS is still in existence, but trying to get your 
OS up to the latest Zentyal may not be possible, if it is possible, then 
it is going to take a lot of work, more than it is worth.

It will probably be easier to start again with a new domain and add the 
required schemas, just remind us what you use ldap for.

Probably, anything is possible, but you would have to write your own 
tools based on php etc.

Your problem is that your domain has never been updated when required 
and you are now running an hopelessly out of date version of Samba etc.
