Attribute data can be stored/retrieved in ldaps (as in AD usually only |
| 8 |
allows authenticated binds to retrieve data and it requires an ssl |
| 9 |
connection to do that, other than that it's really just ldap). |
| 10 |
|
| 11 |
Authentication can be done either via ldaps or kerberos, though I |
| 12 |
personally find the later to be extra complication that's usually |
| 13 |
unnecessary. |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
As someone else mentioned, there's a wealth of data out there on how to |
| 16 |
do this in any number of schemes (eg: libnss-ldap, libpam-ldap, sssd, |
| 17 |
etc.). |

I don't see the distinction. Either way it seems you're concerned with |
| 23 |
authenticating users and doing attribute lookups on them. |

I'm not personally aware of anything that does that. If there is, it's |
| 29 |
probably something like redhat/suse specific. |

However, I believe it is possible to use a samba4 host as a domain |
| 32 |
controller to serve GPs to windows clients. |
