=Overview and Objectives=
The primary objective of this effort is to create Active Directory support on SME 9+ with a focus on simplicity and easy in integration, as is done on many of the other sub-systems on SME Server. Other distributions with Samba 4 support take the approach of providing a fairly complex front end to Samba 4 with many configuration parameters and options. Our approach for Samba 4 is to stream line implementation to provide a straight forward and simple set of UI parameters for the administrator to deploy Active Directory in a configuration that will work in most deployments. Support for the full array of Samba 4 options is provided under the hood in SME Server, but will be available primary from the console. The SME Server community may decide to create an Advanced Samba server-manager panel to control and configure some of the more advanced features available in Samba 4, but the Core SME Server deployment of Active Directory will remain focused on simplicity.

Deployment of Samba 4 on SME Server means that many of the authentication mechanisms on SME Server need to change to integrate with Active Directory, therefore this development effort is quite far reaching.

Samba 4 on SME Server will be provided by way of the package smeserver-samba, which will upgrade and obsolete e-smith-samba. The current release of Samba 4 on SME Server is available here: [http://www.leiengineering.com/repository/smeserver/Packages/SME_Server_Samba4/ SME Server Samba 4 Packages]

These packages are currently not provided by the Koozali buildsys because there is still a fair bit of work to do to integrate this code with existing SME services. Since Samba 4 on SME Server includes many other sub-systems, inclusion of the Samba 4 code is not being including in current development streams until the code is closer to release so as not to hold up other development activities. However, this code is available in CVS.

* Update qmail and .qmail template fragments and configuration to pull user data from the Active Directory. Spam and filtering fragments have been excluded because we have not yet decided how to handle these configuration in the Active Directory
