Re: [qmailadmin] QmailAdmin with qmail and POSIX users in LDAP?
QMailadmin has a prerequisite of vpopmail. Vpopmail makes virtual users only. QMailadmin does not create system users. It only supports users created via vpopmail (virtual users) Read the documentation that comes with both vpopmail and qmailadmin if you want to know how they work Tren Quoting Andrew McCall [EMAIL PROTECTED]: On Thursday 28 November 2002 6:04 pm, Jérôme MOLLIER-PIERRET wrote: You probably missed something, if you need an LDAP implementation try the qmailldap patch (most contribs are mentioned in http://www.qmail.org) ... but you couldn't have qmailadmin working with it (try phpQLAdmin instead ...).

[qmailadmin] QmailAdmin with qmail and POSIX users in LDAP?
Hi, I have a task of creating an open source Exchange-like server, something you all have heard many times before. I know all the software I want to use, and I am *nearly* pulling it all together too : Server : RedHat 8.0 qmail (qmail-smtpd, qmail-pop3d) Cyrus-IMAP OpenLDAP I intend on having POSIX accounts in the LDAP directory, and using pam_ldap and pam_nss to get all the authentication et. al. done via LDAP. Users will have Outlook 2000 with the Bynari Insight connector plug in so that the server will act as a Exchange server, thats why I need Cyrus's support for ACL's. I am having a few problems fitting the software together in my head though! Another requirement is that it is administrated via a web page, so I was thinking of using QmailAdmin - but this is where I get confused :) If I add a user in QmailAdmin will this create a user in the LDAP directory because of the pam_ldap and pam_nss ? If not, does anyone know a way I can have a single point of admin for the users in LDAP and the users for qmail via a web page? Does anyone see what I am trying to do, and if so know how I can pull all this stuff together? -- Thanks, Andrew McCall Internet/Linux System Administrator I.C.T.

Re: [qmailadmin] QmailAdmin with qmail and POSIX users in LDAP?
You probably missed something, if you need an LDAP implementation try the qmailldap patch (most contribs are mentioned in http://www.qmail.org) ... but you couldn't have qmailadmin working with it (try phpQLAdmin instead ...). You can use vpopmail with qmailadmin, and LDAP but ... only for authentification. Another important point is that Exchange has calendar fonctionnalities ... this could not be implemented in the same way (MAPI + Outlook). If i'm wrong, or if anybody has more information ...
