Hi all, I am trying to develop a qmail server with users validation and
setup on ms active directory (instead of openldap). May be is not the
best solution, but I already have users on ad and I whish to use them.
My first problem is about extending ad schema: in examples there are
lots of unknown items and I joined relevant parameters from qmail.schema
into a ldif file to feed the utility ldifde, but I had no success:
ldifde always reply with syntax error.
Is there anybody having already did it? Or with some suggestions?
Thank you
Daniele,
You are going a hard way, keep in mind that is possible, but Microsoft
documentation on extending the schema should be read carefully, and
you may not like what you are going to read. Specially about restrictions
on changes, that could drive you to a loser-loser situation in the future.
First, try the link below, from The $ource...
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/ad/ad/extending_the_schema.asp
Also, there is another way to do it, and that way is - IMHO - the best.
Look at ADAM - Active Directory Application Mode, I believe you would
like it very much. URL is:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/adam/default.mspx
Fernando, I had a look at MS ADAM, but it looks like a ldap server
product with its own repository, with replication and so on. The
integration with AD is possible with tools like MIIS. So I have to build
two more software environments and take care of redundancy, and more I
don't have an interface tool for manage ADAM.
Do you agree with this drawbacks?
I am now testing the other solution proposed on this thread:

do you know it?
Thank you very much for your help
