Samba already has a basic varlink interface [1]. It will be released with Samba 4.23 in autumn. We are currently working on improving it. There is also a plan to implement it for sssd [2]. I'm also working on a C/Rust client library to be able to make use of userdb [3]. We also plan to use the systemd userdb with the localkdc in future [4].
