Any progress on this front?

Can external addresses be added to the LDAP?

[Agent86]

No, not without external programs like egroup etc.

But with the new RPM's of Horde and addon modules you can share your addressbook with other users and create a group of address books that are shared

This is really pretty cool check out the posts on this:

Hope this helps

Hi

If anyone's interested (and as I read it, most haven't tried...)

You CAN simply use the LDAP as a global Adressbook for almost any LDAP Client.

And: You don't have to use Server-Manager to add users there.

I use PHPLdapAdmin to add / modify E-Mail Addresses and such.

Works well enough.

What isn't easy is getting all users to be able to add or modify the LDAP.

There is a contrib available which works on 7.1.2.

Hello Andi,

could you please write a little howto about setting up phpldapadmin? (config.php)

I am not able to modify any content:

Code: [Select]

LDAP_STRONG_AUTH_REQUIRED

Thanks in advance.

Hi

I user the Contrib available from here:

http://www.smesmith.de/download/sme7/contribs/test/smeserver-phpldapadmin-0.9.7.2-0.noarch.rpm

or, in case you can't grab it from there, here's a copy on my server:

http://www.anwi.net/downloads/smeserver-phpldapadmin-0.9.7.2-0.noarch.rpm

That should "just" work.

You need to use https://your.server.name/phpldapadmin/

Without the slash at the end, my server won't say it exists...

YMMV

Hi Andy,

I've got that up and running. But I still can't add or edit existing users.

Did you setup a new LDAP adressbook?

What are your settings in config.php?

Hallo Johannes

Sorry, you're right. The latest Version has a Login-Bug. The right screen displays, but the left navigation doesn't.

Use this Version, but remove the "newer" one first (rpm -e...)

http://www.anwi.net/downloads/smeserver-phpldapadmin-0.9.6c-0.noarch.rpm

This one works one 7.1.2...

I needed NO modifications, just install the RPM and login with https...

Hi


Your RPM works. Thanks by take your time building it.
I have one old love to LDAP and just would like SME has full use of LDAP.
But
Groups created on SME interface do not show as groups on phpLDAPAdmin/LDAP server: they´re normal user-like entries.
If you put anything inside a OU created on phpLDAPadmin, do not show in SME addressbook.

I hope SMe became FULL LDAP ASAP.

Thanks

Hi

I didn't build that RPM, but the guy who did had changed his site or whatever, I couldn't find the original working site. So rather than lose a valuable RPM / Tool for SME which I can confirm working on latest SMEs, I thought I'd make them available again.

The creator's Info and URL is visible in the RPM info part...

I'll take credit when it's due, but not foreign feathers

I'm impatient for SME to go full LDAP, enabling real "backup" servers, single sign on and site replication.

Nevertherless I find SME is one of the best GPL Distis "Out Of the Box". Sure, some things are easier on a stock Red-Hat / Centos, SuSE or Debian. You don't have to deal with the templating system. But come on, usually SME just works! Cheers to the SME Team.

Hi all

Is there some way to use my user address book as a LDAP or second LDAP

I don't need to have a bunch of users access it just me.

Instead of the client accessing the main LDAP is there no way to make the individual address book an LDAP or create a separate LDAP ?

In a way that would allow the client email or addressbook to enter www.domain.com/user for the LDAP or something like that to search the user LDAP for contacts etc.

Would be nice feature ???

Thanks

[andy_wismer]

Hi

If you make an export of your adress book, and reimport it into LDAP it should work.

With the PHPLdapAdmin contrib you can get from here
http://www.anwi.net/downloads/smeserver-phpldapadmin-0.9.6c-0.noarch.rpm
you can import your user adress book into LDAP.

YMMV

I'm curious

What about LDAP or other options for my user addressbook ?

I really don't need other users with full access to LDAP, but would like my client to be able to access the user address book similar to LDAP but using my personal addressbook ??

Can this be done on the client level to simply access my user addressbook on the SME box somehow, ???

Or is this the only option mentioned here regarding (PHPLdapAdmin) ??

Basically it would be nice to just turn my user addressbook into a LDAP so that my client could access the contact list.

Please advise
Thanks

Hi

Maybe a misunderstanding here, but the LDAP on SME can be accessed using almost any LDAP capable client. This include Outlook Express, Outlook, Thunderbird, Mac Adressbook, etc.

It's just not possible to add addresses there using SME out of the box. The only way is by adding a user/group in Server-Manager. But just because you sometimes mail your competitor, it doesn't mean you want him to have an account on your server.

That's where PHPLDAPadmin comes in... Using it, you can easily import an existing adress-book / list or simply add a single contact.

YMMV

Thanks for the reply

Yes there is a misunderstanding here.
Perhaps this last question has sort of transformed from my initial question since I've learned that I cannot edit the LDAP as it stands with SME unless I make changes or add contribs etc.
I am aware that I can access the LDAP with the client email/address book

So to clarify the question,what about the user address books in SME, can I access those with an email client ???

Or do I only have access to the LDAP,

I'm assuming the LDAP is separate from the user addressbooks and that they do not put entries into the main LDAP ???

So anyhow is there some way to access my user addressbook on SME with a email client machine ??

Please advise
and thanks again for the response

[Agent86]

One more separate question regarding PHPLDAPadmin.

Where can I find info on this and the features?

Do you actually create new LDAP's with PHPLDAPadmin that are accessible(read) by the client computers ?

And in the Horde webmail section how is horde effected ?
Is there buttons added to horde etc. to add addresses and creating new LDAP's etc.?

Thanks
