I'm sorry if this has been asked a quadrillion times before, but i was just
wondering about it:
I know samba can't be a BDC for ADS. I also know that OpenLDAP can sync with
a MS ADS Server.
I don't think it can do that to the extent we would require.
Samba can also auth against both ldap and ADS. so, shoudln't it be possible
to use a
Samba/openLdap server combination as a Local Master kind of think as a type
of BDC for an ADS Domain?
No. Samba3 does not have the technology to be an ADS domain controller.
Samba4 development already has this, and we hope to have a technology
preview soon.
Or are there hugher obstacles like there beeing no way to tell the windows
clients who's their second-in-command master?
There is just a very big gap between Samba3 and what ADS requires of a
DC.
