Overview
This page describes how IPA and Samba will be integrated.
[edit]
Kerberos
MIT KDC will be used to provide a Kerberos service for both IPA and Samba clients. The KDC will use the IPA and Samba data that has been merged into the IPA DIT through synchronization.
[edit]
LDAP
IPA will use the DS to provide an LDAP service to its clients. Samba will provide an LDAP service to its clients through a virtual LDAP server running inside Samba. The actual Samba data will be stored in the same DS instance as IPA.
[edit]
Synchronization Tool
A synchronization tool will be used to synchronize IPA and Samba backends. It will monitor/intercept changes happening in IPA/Samba DIT, transform the changes, and apply the changes in the other DIT.
