I'm not AD expert, but the department requesting this service wants to ease the management of their windows environments. We currently use LDAP server from Oracle to managed our applications data. One of those applications is where all identity data is created. So it would be nice to just make AD use that active directory server and keep AD out of the mix. Instead of switching all applications to store data in the AD server. I didn't think Samba covered all AD functions. I might be wrong, I've only ever used Samba for print and file sharing. I'm open to ideas, but I'm not a big MS fan, and primary develop, not manage workstations. Thanks.

Is there a method of connecting Active Directory to use OpenLDAP as the
authentication source. So pass through to OpenLDAP. Making OpenLDAP the
primary system with all the passwords and usernames. I realize this might
be more of a AD question, but the places I've looked seem to always make AD
the primary. Then everyone else must proxy to AD. Thanks.

What is your usage scenario? Are you supporting user logins to Windows
systems? If so, see Samba.
