Re: LDAP Thunderbird and security (OFF)
Nagy László írta: Hello, I would like to create an LDAP server, for storing address book information for Thunderbird. E-mail clients will be connecting remotely with IMAPS (over the internet). Is there a secure way to do this? I know that samba can create an LDAP server but it is not secure, is it? I also know that I could create a VPN connection, but for my users, this is too difficult to setup. :-) Do you know a solution, definitely for FreeBSD, that is relatively easy to setup on the client side, and secure? I could setup openldap, and my thunderbird can connect to it. But I cannot add persons to that address book. I also asked this on the openldap mailing list, but I had no answer since two days. I read somewhere that Thunderbird requires a special schema to be present on the LDAP server. Anybody out there who could use openldap with thinderbird? Thanks, Laszlo p.s.: Sorry to be offtopic, nobody helped on the openldap list. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

First, OpenLDAP isn't easy to set up; but it's worth the trouble. You should probably move this to the openldap list, or the thunderbird list, since it really has nothing to do with FreeBSD. I have Thurderbird reading my directory, but I haven't worked on getting Thunderbird to write to an LDAP directory. You need to set up your LDAP with TLS and the proper ACLs; and depending on your situation you may want a seperate ou for the address book. Maybe even a seperate ou for each user (ouch). No special schema required, it should read the standard mail, phone, etc attributes. Check the LDAP RFCs for a complete list. -- -- Perfection is just a word I use occasionally with mustard. --Atom Powers-- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Yes, this is (OFF), see the subject. Unfortunately, the openldap mailing list is not active. I could hardly subscribe, and then nobody answered.

Here is what I found: http://www.gargan.org/extensions/synckolab.html It is not perfect, because you need to press a button to synchronize. But it is easy to install, and it uses the already existing IMAP server.
