Comment 7 for bug 1973321

Now that both Firefox and also Thunderbird are only delivered as snaps on Ubuntu 24.04, I feel this bug should finally no longer be considered with the importance of a "Wishlist"...

With the release of 22.04, Canonical was already advertising an AD integration: https://ubuntu.com/blog/new-active-directory-integration-features-in-ubuntu-22-04-part-1.

When more and more applications are effectively removed from Ubuntu, I do not understand how this can be used as advertisement.

Yet @ahasenack goes even further and actively advertises this once more, for the now released 24.04: https://ubuntu.com/server/docs/introduction-to-active-directory-integration

How would you practically utilize the shared user database from AD, without also having a shared/networked storage for your users? Maybe I'm missing something, if so, please let me know.
