Title: eGroupware - importing existing SME user names
Post by: Paperguides on October 04, 2006, 05:09:52 PM

I have used the Howto to successfully install egroupware but I would like to import my existing SME users.  Can I import from the directory or do I have to set them up from scratch?

Thanks,

Tony

Users in EGW are independant from the SME users. They must be created and configured individually.

Maybe you can tie them in by modifying the user-* events by adding a action script to create or modify the egroupware users when the SME Server user is added/modified/removed. See Section II.7: Actions and Events of the development guide (http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs//gordonr/devguide/html/devguide.html#ACTIONS-EVENTS) for more details about the eventing mechnism.

Thanks, I was afraid that was going to be the case.  :?

I'll have look but I gave up programming for a living more years ago than I care to remember. :wink:

I was also going to look at the egroupware site.

I have an rpm that automatically inputs sme users into a mysql db. Great for any app that uses mysql as a base.

Since I paid quite a sum of money to have it created, I can't contrib. But it is possible to get this working.

Hello,

In the setup part of egroupware, step 2 - Configuration :
You can choice "Mail" as authentification method.
Pay attention to some parameters just after and all new user will automatically definied in egroupware if imap connection will success.

Regards.
