Hi,

We already have an authentication mechanism in place which allows ESOE
to integrate with a domain controller setup provided by Windows servers
which we've documented here:
http://esoeproject.org/confluence/display/eu/ESOE+to+Active+Directory...

Essentially this allows a user to login to their workstation of a
morning and automatically be provided access to ESOE services we call
this "true single sign on" and the clients we have who've deployed it
really love it. In the back end there is a bunch of SPNEGO ticket
validation going on.

Does the Samba PDC provide the SPNEGO type functionality? If so it may
not be much effort to test an ESOE setup against a Samba PDC and
validate this works.

I hope I've interpreted your query below correctly, please correct me if
I've totally misread your requirements :).

regards,
Bradley
