[Freeipa-users] Ubuntu Samba Server Auth against IPA

Hi,

Yes I found that earlier, that looks good and even better when you
confirm this as really usable.

For Samba 4 the IPA devs are very busy but I wonder indeed what
happends when we "need" to move because integration has been improved.

I try to keep IPA as native as I can.

So this is the best way to go for now, even when this thread is such "old" ?

Thanks!

Matt
