To elaborate the question: Is it possible to have a Pass-Through
authentication system as with OpenLDAP?

Another post by Microsoft: I am hoping this setting can help me read the
user passwords to authenticate against.

Hi,
Is it possible to have Fedora DS and have the password lookup redirected to
Active Directory? Some kind of proxy lookup. Take the case of Mac OS X server
and clients, they have Open Directory and the password manager can
authenticate against the Active Directory.
Is it possible to have FDS without the password?
So I would like to know, is it possible to achieve the same for FDS using
Samba, Winbind or NSS?? Is it possible that the FDS has all the user
permissions and special groups but the authentication is turned to AD. I know
the passwords are hashed by Kerberos and hope we can achieve this with some
effort.
A useful post by Microsoft
