[Renzo Bagnati <791336@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I'm using, since ubuntu 8.04, samba and winbind to integrate a workstation into an AD domain, as described here:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ActiveDirectoryWinbindHowto
I'm able to use gdm, and now lightdm, to login as a domain user, by authenticating with pam_winbind or pam_krb5.

The only problem I have found so far with lightdm is reported here:

Title:
  Add support for Samba's Active Directory integration

Status in Light Display Manager:
  Triaged
Status in “lightdm” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  LightDM needs enterprise support to be successful. It is possible that
  a Linux machine is part of an Active Directory and has winbindd
  running. So it needs to be aware of this and get the domain
  information it needs and support for UNC.

  This can be implemented using libwbclient or wbinfo binary which are
  both part of the Samba Software Suite.
