Unfortunetly, it has some + annoying habits (stealing the mouse when it crashes), and is + unmaintained. Many LDAP administrators would benifit if a similar + tool were constructed, in particular with similar schema knowlege. + Using LDB as a backend could allow easy use of Samba-supported SASL + mechanisms for easier authentication.

Builting it with interactive (AJAX like) functionalty + would make it a very powerful way to manage Samba4's LDB databases. + Talk to [EMAIL PROTECTED]</p> + + <h4>Samba4 using a real LDAP backend server</h4> + <p>Currently, Samba4 can use either an in-memory database, or a LDAP + server as the backend for it's primary user database. The LDAP + backend server alternative is currently very restricted: The only + supported server is a matching version of Samba4. This project + would be to advance this support. Initial steps would be to load + the provision, then permit password changes. Eventual support would + include schema mapping. (Participants should discuss with + [EMAIL PROTECTED], and work out how far would be reasonable to + support in the timeframe). </p> + + <h4>User Manager for Samba4 SWAT</h4> + <p>Samba4 needs a user manger tool, built into the SWAT server. + This could be a new tool, or an existing tool ported to Samba4. It + would benifit from being interactive without page load delays, + (possibly AJAX), and should at least allow modification of similar + properties to MMC</p> + <!--#include virtual="/samba/footer.html" -->
