[OpenIndiana-discuss] AD integration aka project Winchester

[Gordon Ross]

Most (all?) of the work produced by project Winchester was integrated
long before OpenSolaris gained the "Native CIFS service".  You're
looking at old resources.

We're working on improving this functionality, (i.e.
https://www.illumos.org/issues/1121)
but don't have any public information to share yet.  Watch
developers at illumos.org
(and/or this list) for updates on improvements like this.
