  Hi,

I would like to deploy an integrated Samba4 / FreeIPA environment.

I would like to enquire, what's the current status of FreeIPA 1.9.0.pre4 
and Samba4 integration.

I've tried http://freeipa.org/page/Samba_4_Configuration a month ago, 
though the ldap provision didn't seem to work. I've even raised a bug at 
Samba https://bugzilla.samba.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7530 - which is still open.

If the Fedora-DS backed Samba4 isn't ready for production at this time,
I would be interested in the pro/contra views of
- deploying a separate Samba4 instance with filesystem backend
- writing a password syncing plugin for Samba4 vs. 389-ds
    based on the docs at http://directory.fedoraproject.org/wiki/Plugins
- other paths achieving integration?

Thanks,
   Attila
