Virtual mail accounts on SME serveur.
« on: March 30, 2009, 10:30:24 AM »
hi,

here is my problem:

I test SME server (7.4) as an Active directory domain member. All users of the active directory are correctly mapped with winbind for share. But the problem is that I would like to use the SME as a mail server but mail accounts are not created. Indeed, winbind don't create real accounts on the SME, and qmail need that users are created on the system.

So I would like to know if there is a way to create virtual mail accounts without create users on the system (i try vpopmail but with no results).

Thanks and sorry for my poor english.

Hi

I guess you already read here and particularly this

you are using a beta and (almost) unsupported feature :-)

Ciao

OK nenonano,

So as the integration in an Active Directory Domain with the Advanced Samba is still a Beta, the only way to make what I want should be to create accounts on the SME manualy (script to get information with the LDAP of the domain controller and create user with latuser commands).

Thanks

Arf I'm very sorry, but I have another question:

I can get a lot of informations with this command:

Code: [Select]
ldapsearch -x -W -b "dc=win2003,dc=local" -h 192.X.X.X -D "Administrateur@win2003.local"  "(&(sAMAccountName=*)(sAMAccountType=805306368)(objectClass=organizationalPerson))" > ADS_users
I wanted to process the file ADS_users with awk ( or other command) to get variables for lat-users but I have seen that I can't get password or hashs for the user
. Do you know how I can solve this ?

Thanks a lot for your help.

well

this is not a SME issue IMO: are you trying to extract users' data from AD WITH their password? I guess you should search/ask M$ and/or AD related forums to know how to do it..

anyway, I doubt you can recover users' password.. you could get, maybe, the hashes.. but they are useless.

all IMO

Ok

I think that you are right it seems to be a dead end.

Bye.
