Samba AD is an open source implementation of an Active Directory set
of tools and protocols. It allows Windows clients to be enrolled and
managed using native Windows tools. In addition, Samba AD can serve as
a domain controller for Fedora workstations and servers utilizing
DCERPC, LDAP and Kerberos.


== Detailed Description ==
Samba AD is an implementation of an Active Directory set of tools and
protocols. It is developed and released as part of Samba suite.
Upcoming Samba 4.7 release will contain changes to allow Samba AD to
be built and used with MIT Kerberos. Prior to Samba 4.7 it was
impossible to compile Samba AD with MIT Kerberos. As result, Samba AD
was not packaged in Fedora.

== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
Samba packages in Fedora already include a stub subpackage samba-dc
that is going to be replaced with a full Samba AD implementation.
Appropriate dependencies are already present in Fedora 27/Rawhide or
will be added together with Samba 4.7 update. This mostly concerns
upgrade of Samba-related libraries: libtevent, libldb, libtdb, and MIT
Kerberos update to support new APIs added to accommodate Samba AD
(already in Rawhide).
