New install samba or LDAP

[Tony Skalski]

Hi Folks,

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.

What is the recommendation for new installations - samba or LDAP? Are there
significant pros and cons to either approach? Thanks!
