Title: LDAP connection for PHPGROUPWARE
Post by: tropicalview on July 10, 2007, 02:05:42 AM

I'm installing phpgroupware on my smeserver,
for you to know i'm a new player in the linux environment.....


I like to make use of the userdatabase of SME server to give access to PHPGROUPWARE.
As i understand that's possible via LDAP.

Does anybody know what i should answer to the following fields during the installation:


If using LDAP:

Do you want to manage homedirectory and loginshell attributes?:  No Yes  
LDAP Default homedirectory prefix (e.g. /home for /home/username):  
LDAP Default shell (e.g. /bin/bash):  
LDAP host:  
LDAP accounts context:  
LDAP groups context:  
LDAP rootdn:  
LDAP root password:  
LDAP encryption type:  DES MD5

Hi tropicalview,

SME Server does not store authentication information in LDAP, see also: http://forums.contribs.org/index.php?topic=35146.0

So authentication against LDAP (also for PHPGroupware) is not possible.

Kind regards,
Jester.
