[Bug 1552249] Re: No builtin nor plugin backend for ipasam found

[Alexander Bokovoy]

Let me comment as FreeIPA and Samba upstream developer.

Ubuntu's Samba build is done with Heimdal and you cannot build ipasam.so
against Heimdal, only MIT Kerberos. So you cannot use Ubuntu-provided
Samba build this way even if you'd recompile FreeIPA with patches we
have upstream to deal with libpdb -> libsamba-pdb library name change.

So until Samba in Debian and Ubuntu is built against Heimdal Kerberos
(this is due to Debian/Ubuntu packaging Samba AD, not just Samba) it is
unlikely to have FreeIPA trust to AD working in Ubuntu. We are fairly
close with completing port of Samba AD to MIT Kerberos upstream, this
should happen in Samba 4.5-4.6 timeframe. Once that is done, we can
expect FreeIPA with trust to AD working on Debian-based platforms as
well.
