Thanks. We do have AD, and will use it for authn and authz. The LDAP config looked more straightforward than the samba config. Are there any downsides to using just LDAP in an AD environment? On Wed, Dec 9, 2020 at 2:08 PM Alan DeKok <aland@deployingradius.com> wrote:

After years of running NPS for RADIUS we are getting started with freeRADIUS. Use will be primarily for our eduroam 802.1x wireless network. We have a single site with 4 AD DCs. Expected load is a few authentications per second (4,000 users, 10K+ devices).
A few years back we migrated away from samba/winbind and all systems now use an LDAP-based sssd config. Most of the freeRADIUS guides I've come across document using samba; we are more familiar with LDAP than samba.
The main reason people use Samba is for integration with Active Directory. If you're not using AD, there's less reason to use Samba.
What is the recommendation for new installations - samba or LDAP? Are there significant pros and cons to either approach? Thanks!
If you don't need AD, just use LDAP.
