Abstract
As a developer of Samba's authentication and domain control features since 2001, Andrew Bartlett will ponder how 1980s network authentication technology is faring in Samba and consider the future for on-site authentication and authorization as well as the ever more important cloud/federated identity space.
This will in turn inform a bit of crystal ball gazing on where Samba needs to go, to stay relevant, doing more than just being a great AD DC following the protocol pattern from Microsoft.
