Azure AD Open Source Alternative
-
Samba 4 does what AD does, for free. But I'm not aware of anything that does what Azure AD does using open source software that you can host yourself. Does anyone know if something exists?

@StrongBad Why not Samba 4?
-
@StrongBad are you looking for a host AD approach that isn't Microsoft AD?

I guess what are you looking for? Azure AD is basically hosted AD with some limitations as to client management.

It's a totally different technology. Azure AD is a competitor with hosted AD. It's not AD in any way. Very different technologies. One is a LAN design and one is LANless as well.
