Authentication across Scalix and Samba

[piguetl]

Does anybody have recommendations into providing unified authentication across Scalix and Samba, to centralize user logins/password for Scalix and file server(s)?

I am guessing one way to do this would be to have Samba use the Scalix LDAP service (but I am not sure about securing the LDAP directory).

Another way would be to set up a separate OpenLDAP, used by both Scalix and Samba for user authentication.

Any ideas, or a HOWTO (maybe)?
