That's actually a good question, as Samba4 seems to discourage the use of dedicated LDAP servers ( https://wiki.samba.org/index.php/FAQ#Why_is_the_LDAP_backend_.28used_so_successfully_in_classic_Samba_domains.29_not_supported_with_the_AD_DC.3F ). Sogo seems to work fine with a pure Samba 4 AD setup ( http://www.foteviken.de/?p=1925 ). > > Thanks... -- Mit freundlichen Grüßen, / Best Regards, Sven Schwedas Systemadministrator TAO Beratungs- und Management GmbH | Lendplatz 45 | A - 8020 Graz Mail/XMPP: [email protected] | +43 (0)680 301 7167 http://software.tao.at TAO Software befindet sich vom 23.12.2013 bis einschließlich 06.01.2014 auf Betriebsurlaub.
