      Yep, hence the "drop-in" replacement for AD.

      Just want to make sure that everyone reading understands that Samba4 does one very specific version and setup for Kerberos and LDAP while on UNIX there are many options for how to do that both in setup as well as in products. Although I'd guess 99% of UNIX people just use OpenLDAP.

        If you are in a 100% *nix environment, then that would make sense... No need for Samba4/Active Directory unless you are primarily a Windows shop.

          Windows or Mac. Even though Mac is 100% UNIX, it has so much built in SMB and AD support, you would use it for that potentially too.

            OpenLDAP is what the average Linux shop is going to turn to when looking to implement an "AD like" authentication mechanism when no Windows is involved.
