Greetings,
As an equivalent to Microsoft Active Directory ™, do we consider Samba 4 ?
if so, what is the proper installation method of Samba 4?
Thanking you
Jamils

Yes.

Install it using YaST or zypper - it’s in the standard repos.

Where Can I find installation Instructions?

Yes, but I understand that openSUSE doesn’t fully support samba 4 as AD
server.
Ah, found it:
https://www.suse.com/releasenotes/i386/openSUSE/13.1/RELEASE-NOTES.en.html#idp315834436
+++—————————————————————————
5.3. Samba Version 4.1
Samba version 4.1 shipped with openSUSE 13.1 does not include support to
operate as an Active Directory style domain controller. This
functionality is currently disabled, as it lacks integration with
system-wide MIT Kerberos.
—————————————————————————+±
I don’t see an equivalent note on 13.2, so I don’t know what is the
current status.

For Samba? I’d look at samba.org for configuration, but as I said,
installation is generally done just by picking the packages in the
software manager in YaST.

Can you list which packages to pick and install?

If you try to set it up in YaST, it should automatically trigger the installation of every needed thing.
Some links, haven’t checked if they are all still correct:
Samba and Suse: HowTo Set up an openSUSE-Windows Home Office LAN/Network.
Chapter 19. Samba
Chapter 19. Samba
Warning: make sure your domain is never named something .local. It is not compatible with Linux (avahi).

I would start probably with samba (that’s the server) and the yast2-samba-
server package (the latter just to ease configuration).
