Ok, I have set up in qmail-ldap.h:

#define LDAP_GROUPOBJECTCLASS   "group"

That's the class used in AD (Active Directory). Still if I try to lookup for
it:

$ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-ldaplookup -m MAILPROTECTED
Searching ldap for:
(&(objectClass=user)(|(mail=MAILPROTECTED)(otherMailbox=MAILPROTECTED)))
under dn: cn=users, dc=mps, dc=local
No entries found.

It fails because it actualy searches for "objectClass=user"! Why?

I have found some info about this on the net from Claudio Jeker
Posted on Mon, 23 Feb 2004 09:09:32 -0800:

"1. Yes. qmailUser is needed for qmailGroup, there seems to be a bug in the
schema because we should enforce that right there.
 2. your entry is missing the qmailUID and qmailGID values or the
corresponding ~control files, so qmail-lspawn is unsable to setup and run
qmail-local which would then call qmail-group.
 3. normaly it is the best to setup a "normal" user and extend it to a
group account.
 4. the question about ldapobjectclass posted before should now be obvious.
qmailGroup depends on qmailUser so we use the same ~contol/ldapobjectclass
in qmail-group. The special group login and password control file are here
to make it possible to use filter that produce a large number of results
and would therefor end in the ldap limit."

If I do manual search for the group object in AD:

$ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-ldaplookup -f
"(|(mail=MAILPROTECTED)(otherMailbox=MAILPROTECTED))"
Searching ldap for: (|(mail=MAILPROTECTED)(otherMailbox=MAILPROTECTED))
under dn: cn=users, dc=mps, dc=local
Found 1 entry:

dn: CN=soft,CN=Users,DC=mps,DC=local
-------------------------------------------------------
objectClass: top
objectClass: group
mail: MAILPROTECTED
name: soft
accountStatus: undefined -> active
mailHost: undefined
homeDirectory: /home/vmail/
aliasEmpty: using default
qmailDotMode: dotonly
qmailUID: 510
qmailGID: 510
mailQuotaSize: 524288000
mailQuotaCount: 0 (unlimited)
mailSizeMax: 0 (unlimited)
mailReplyText: undefined

It is found without any problems. Here "soft" is a Global Group created in
AD.

If I lookup for an user, it works fine:

$ /var/qmail/bin/qmail-ldaplookup -m MAILPROTECTED
Searching ldap for:
(&(objectClass=user)(|(mail=MAILPROTECTED)(otherMailbox=MAILPROTECTED)))
under dn: cn=users, dc=mps, dc=local
Found 1 entry:

dn: CN=zdravko,CN=Users,DC=mps,DC=local
-------------------------------------------------------
objectClass: top
objectClass: person
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: user
mail: MAILPROTECTED
name: zdravko
accountStatus: undefined -> active
mailHost: undefined
homeDirectory: /home/vmail/
aliasEmpty: using default
qmailDotMode: dotonly
qmailUID: 510
qmailGID: 510
mailQuotaSize: 524288000
mailQuotaCount: 0 (unlimited)
mailSizeMax: 0 (unlimited)
mailReplyText: undefined

User entry is found without any problems.

I can conclude that Microsoft's AD 'group' object is not 'user' as it seams
to be required.

As Claudio Jeker said 

"qmailGroup depends on qmailUser so we use the same ~contol/ldapobjectclass 
 in qmail-group".

$ cat /var/qmail/control/ldapobjectclass
user

So it seams to me that Qmail will always search for "&(objectClass=user)"
which
Will fail looking for Groups in AD.

What should I do next?
