Hi Emmanuel, 

thank you for your support.

First: Till two weeks ago my scope was on application servers, database 
administration and other administrative and engineering tasks on high-available 
Linux platforms. I never had to care about thinks like LDAP / AD and other 
"internal services" like this before. So it might be possible that I have an 
error in my reasoning. So I would just like to describe my purpose: 

I would like to have a running AD offering the following functionalities in my 
new company: 
- LDAP authentication
- Kerberos authentication
- single-signon for almost everything (Windows clients, bugtracker and ticket 
tools like Jira, Wiki, Cisco ASA for user VPN and so on and so on. Everything 
we tested so far is working fine - except for Windows)
- storing Windows user profiles on the AD    

The currently used Microsoft AD server should be replaced and after some 
research I had to decide between a setup running (OpenLDAP and Samba) or 
ApacheDS. I chose the ApacheDS due to my good experience with Apache, Apache 
Tomcat and JMeter for example. 

To make it short: 
What do I need to realize the "single-signon"-solution? My colleague started to 
evaluate a mix up of Samba and ApacheDS... We would just like to know how you 
do it and what the best practice solution looks like.  

Regards, 
Marcel
