Integration of Scalix & Samba?

[les.piggot]

Hi,

Has anyone tried use the Scalix ldap server as the ldap backend to either Samba or pGina to allow user authentication on a Windows desktop?

Cheers

Our Scalix users authenticate against OpenLDAP which also allows authentication for Samba.

This went in seamlessly and smoothly. It is well documented if you search the Scalix knowledgebase.

I went that direction because OpenLDAP is supported far more widely. A perfect example is that Scalix supports OpenLDAP, as does Samba, but Samba's support for Scalix LDAP is questionable, and the support toold for administrating users via Scalix LDAP are non-existant, except where it pertains to Scalix. (IE: which tool would you use to specify a domain SID in Scalix's LDAP? And that's just the start.)
