Bug Description

The Active Directory Integration documentation at https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/samba-ad-integration.html points to a dead link.

The broken link is "Likewise Open documentation" on the second paragraph which URL is http://www.beyondtrust.com/Technical-Support/Downloads/files/pbiso/Manuals/ubuntu-active-directory.html

The wayback machine from archive.org at https://web.archive.org/web/20120801000000*/http://www.beyondtrust.com/Technical-Support/Downloads/files/pbiso/Manuals/ubuntu-active-directory.html shows that the latest version of the page is from 2012.

The documentation should maybe point to https://help.ubuntu.com/lts/serverguide/sssd-ad.html which is the correct way to use active directory for authentication.

we need to target series here, because the 20.04 code (trunk) was migrated to discourse a few days before this revision.
