From SME Server
Jump to navigationJump to search→Other Development Tasks to Research and Complete
#'''LDAP''': Look at the LDAP authentication backend and mechanism on SME. On the surface, it looks like all of the Samba related LDAP code will be dropped and much of the standard authentication code will need to be converted to Active Directory auth. This task should include looking at openldap-proxy.

#'''DNS''': Samba 4 includes an buildin DNS server that is required for proper operation of active directory. This internal DNS server is for AD functions only and does not provide caching DNS functions. Therefore, further research and development will be required to integrate the Samba DNS with TinyDNS.

#'''Local Authentication''': Samba 4 provides support for local authentication through PAM. This will need to be looked and and sorted out, especially as it relates to the previous LDAP authentication work.
#'''Domain Server-Manager Panel''': A new Domain server-manager panel should be developed and the workgroup panel removed. Further discussion will need to take place to determine what needs to go into this new panel. This panel will likely be fairly simple, as much of the configuration parameters associated Samba Active directory will be incorporated into template fragments and database entries.
#'''User/Group Server-Manager Panels''': These panels will need to be looked at as they relate to template fragments, adjusting services, and updating database entries associated with Samba.
#'''Ibay Server-Manager Panel''': This panel will need to be looked at as it relates to template fragments, adjusting services, and updating database entries associated with Samba.
#'''Events/Actions'''': Existing events and actions related to samba will need to be reviewed and updated accordingly. A new event/action may need to be developed to provision a new Active Directory Domain using the Samba-Tool utility.
