I don't know if it will work on 3.2.2 or what changes you might have to
make.

We are not currently running Samba.

It depends on what works for you.  All of our user information is in LDAP.  
For those who don't have passwords in LDAP, we authorize against SMB.  I
like the idea of RT handling authorization.  Others prefer using Apache,
because they can choose and configure Apache modules to do the work.  RT
doesn't require "extra" code in that case.
