I have setup a Samba3 PDC and BDC with an LDAP backend to replace my current NT 4.0 infrastructure. This configuration is working fine. I also am testing integration of SuSE OpenExchange and would like to have it authenticate logons via the domain LDAP database.
From my preliminary testing i have found that OpenExchange attempts an LDAP search for some information regarding the cyrus user (PreferredLanguage to
be exact) during loading of the login page via the webmail interface. I do
see the search request hit the PDC LDAP server, but because of the directory
structure differences that OpenExchange is looking for, this obviously
fails.
Has anyone taken this on or have some input?
I know this is probably more an OpenExchange question but i wanted to see if the Samba community has spent any time on this. I am assuming at this point it will take source modifications of the OpenExchange code but i am not sure.
We have SLOX as my PDC and fileserver.
The LDAP schema is fairly easy to see, so I guess the first step would be to compare the schemas and see what is missing/different. If you can't reconcile the schema differences, would it be practical to configure replications to transfer key elements (such as password) between the two LDAP servers ? OK, not ideal, and you would still need to add users in two places, but it would allow you to have a single password for each user. It should be possible to write a script that would take any new users from one database and add them to the other, adding any extra fields with default values.
* We are using it with XP, at first we had loads and loads of problems, but our vendor upgraded Samba to 2.2.8a, so now we only have loads of problems :-(
