Title: LDAP and pseudonyms
Post by: Rick on May 09, 2003, 12:58:02 PM

Is it possible to show the pseudonyms as emaildresses in the webmail LDAP address book?

Hello Rick

Did you never ever have some reply or feedback?

I'd need also to add pseudonyms to LDAP for SMTP-LDAP verification in the battle against SPAM.
Should we post something to the devinfo mailing list to get implementation help?

Could you help in some way to implement/test an extension?

Regards, John

Rick,

Here's a possibility:
(consider the following as development hints--try it on a test box first)

--install the two rpms from here...
http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/hmuhammad/

--put the pseudonyms in a tab-delimited file
(read the 'Configuration/Contacts' panel for details--but don't enable the service yet)

--delete line 35 of /etc/e-smith/events/actions/ldap-contacts-import
(so make sure there are no 'regular' email address for your domain in the tab-delimited file--pseudonyms and non-your-domain addresses are OK)

--enable the service via the panel


The following would apply when accessing the LDAP directory

--local (regular) accounts would be found using
  dc=local,dc=yourdomain,dc=com

--global (pseudonyms & external) accounts would be found using
  dc=global,dc=yourdomain,dc=com

--all accounts would be found using
  dc=yourdomain,dc=com

Happy hacking,
