Actually I was hoping to use the new internal LDAP as the master.
I notice that http://www.windowsitpro.com/content1/topic/integrate-active-directory-and-openldap-98449/catpath/ldap has an article on using slapd as a proxy to Active Directory. This one looks even better. Never used 389Server but there's a first time for everything http://www.linuxmail.info/ad-fds-sync-howto/ (I did google this before I asked the question, but I was searching for samba4 ldap, not active directory ldap. I hope samba4 AD is that similar that I can pull similar stunts to the ones described) ----- Original Message ----- From: Andrew Bartlett <abart...@samba.org> To: ray klassen <julius_ahenobar...@yahoo.co.uk> Cc: "samba@lists.samba.org" <samba@lists.samba.org> Sent: Thursday, 21 February 2013, 0:51 Subject: Re: [Samba] LDAP recommendations please On Wed, 2013-02-20 at 20:50 +0000, ray klassen wrote: > Currently I have a samba 3 domain setup with an LDAP backend.

Upgrading to AD requires that you use our internal LDAP backend. https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/FAQ Sorry, Andrew Bartlett -- Andrew Bartlett http://samba.org/~abartlet/ Authentication Developer, Samba Team http://samba.org -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/options/samba
