Ha! What do you mean AD is Microsoft's directory system that started as
LDAP. That does not even begin to describe AD. AD is an integration of
LDAP, Kerberos and DNS technology with some extensions notably in the
Kerberos protocol. SSL can also be integrated. Samba4 already has
kerberos integration and will solve the LDAP part by including its own
LDAP server.
