I have Samba v4.0.5 installed and running. It is running its own 'bundled' ldap service. I'm happy for it to use its own internal ldap service, but I'd like it to use an external ldap service for authentication. Can someone tell me how to do that? PAM? Config statements in smb.conf? Other?

Per the Samba4 wiki:



This is no longer an area of active development in Samba4, and is not supported, or expected to be supported

I'd suggest switching whatever references your external LDAP to instead point to Samba4 (which implements AD) rather than the other way around.

Just use ntlm_auth. For example, both dovecot and squid support it.
