Have a look at sssd which is a systems and security services daemon. That is the "modern" way of doing user authentication in the Linux world.
My advice to you is avoid Samba if you can.

Samba(7) delivers the set of four SMF(5) services as can be seen from the following example:
$ svcs samba wins winbind swat
STATE STIME FMRI
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/samba:default
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/winbind:default
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/wins:default
disabled Apr_21 svc:/network/swat:default
where the services are:
"samba"
runs the smbd daemon managing the CIFS sessions
"wins"
runs the nmbd daemon enabling the browsing (WINS)
"winbind"
runs the winbindd daemon making the domain idmap
"swat"
Samba Web Administration Tool is a service providing access to browser-based Samba administration interface and on-line documentation.
The service runs on software loopback network interface on port 901/tcp, i.e. opening "http://localhost:901/" in browser will access
the SWAT service on local machine.
Please note: SWAT uses HTTP Basic Authentication scheme where user name and passwords are sent over the network in clear text. In the SWAT
case the user name is root. Transferring such sensitive data is advisable only on the software loopback network interface or over secure
networks.
