Initially attempts were made to integrate with the OpenLDAP code. That turned into a roadblock for all AD development. So rather than block everything else, Samba 4 needed an LDAP server that would let developers experiment and find out if what they were working on was even possible. So bypassing the OpenLDAP code was a necessary hack. Now another goal of Samba 4 is easier setup. So tridge things that a turn key solution is better than requiring Samba 4 admins to be kerberos and LDAP experts is important. But like I said, if you want to find out more, should you really take it up on samba-technical. You'll have a much broader audience there rather than just me or possible Andrew Bartlett. cheers, jerry -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.0 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFDDfZKIR7qMdg1EfYRAjogAJ9M9hMawY646pTJ1XRmxSz1TBg3SACfXYon vFYaRsI7aKrYL6mYiglZDv0= =7DbJ -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list go to the following URL and read the instructions: https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/samba
