Hi Bradley,

At the moment i don't have much pratical experience with Samba. I dont
really understand the function of SPNEGO.
I know that SAMBA can be configured with LDAP as backend. On the ESOE
website i saw the graphical picture with LDAP as a possible solution
beside the Windows Login service (that is i think the Active Directory
integration you mean).

So the trick lays in the LDAP session? If that LDAP connection to ESOE
in the picture means that the LDAP session can be integrated in ESOE
it would be great. But again i don't fully understand how things
work.
Maybe you can tell how to do this? I want to take effort in realising
this SAMBA-ESOE connection.

Greets.
