Hi all
Will the new RPM's allow the client to access the LDAP of different users or still only the main LDAP ?
And will the main LDAP consist of the users shared contacts or still only the contacts listed from withing the server manager ?
I'm wanting to add users to the LDAP for client lookups
The Base Horde included with SME7 does not seem to allow me to add or edit the LDAP addressbook even within webmail.
Does the Horde RPM's allow this ?
I know it's several questions at once, I'm just trying to see if it will really benifit my to install the RPM's or can I simply find a way to edit the LDAP addresses ?
Will the RPM's/Horde 3.1 allow the email client to edit the addressbook ?
OR better yet is there an options to allow LDAP for each users addressbook which I could then add the proper LDAP to my client for lookups.
Please advise on this subject or what options might be best for this use.
Thanks
Steve
Steve,
No users save anything to the LDAP database. The only thing in the ldap db are the users that are added via server-manager. This has always been the case with SME. With the new version of turba, you can now have shared address books, so you could create an address book and share it to all users and they could query that.
I have just tried this and there is something wrong. First, in conf.php, edit this line - $conf['shares']['source'] = 'sql'; and change to localsql, then edit sources.php and change 'use_shares' => false, to true. This will give you a my address books icon when looking at address books. You are then able to create a new address book and grant permissions. I granted permissions to all autheticated users. But, when an authenticated user logs in they can't see the shared address book
.
I am currently working through the turba lists to see what has been missed. When this is figured out, I'll open the appropriate bugs. So, if you want to try to work through this as well, make sure you create custom templates.
Also, the horde, imp, ingo, and turba 3.1 rpms and now part of the base SME 7.1 install, so they have been removed from my contribs site.

edit: Disregard what I said about users not being able to see the shared address books. They can when they go into address book/options, and add the new address books to be displayed. Bug 2218 opened -
