I've been having a closer look at this. Very nice work, Julien.
I think currently the logical separation between libmapi and
libmapiadmin is this:
* libmapi exposes Exchange to users
* libmapiadmin exposes an Exchange view of AD to administrators
Do I guess correctly that you wouldn't expect implementers to provide
both libraries to all end users, because end users should not need
libmapiadmin?
I propose we need another function very similar to those in
mapiadmin_user.c :
mapiadmin_user_info(struct mapiadmin_ctx *);
There is one case where unprivileged users need access to this function,
which is automatic profile generation. Users can provide valid AD
credentials, and mapiadmin_user_info can find the Exchange mailbox
location.
One use for this would be:
mapiprofile --autoprofile --aduser bla --adpassword bla --default
which would create the profile and make it default.
The are two reasons to implement this:
1. Users never need to know where their mailbox is kept, and in the
real world usually don't, and
2. Outlook 2007 does this when a user logs in for the first time.
So, imagine this feature is added, what does this say about the design
split between libmapi and libmapiadmin?
