Hello all,

 I've just installed smartermail free version. Everything work fine except... LDAP won't work.

I've opened the port, I've stopped/started all smartermail services... nothing. A simple telnet on the port from the server (and from my computer) doesnt respond on that port.

I've done a netstat -a and I dont even see something listening on that port.

Anyone got an idea ?

PS: is there a way to exclude user from LDAP service ?

Thank you,

Fabio

I've scanned the forums and I've found someone mentioning a xml file in the service folder named ldapconfig.xml. I don't have the file in the folder... So again, is LDAP supposed to work in free version ?

 Thank you

I've rebooted my server and suddenly ldap is working. I've checked and changed so many thing I'm not even sure the reboot helped. Anyway...

I've created a directory service in outlook express, and I never receive an answer. The ldap log saying "Client did not authenticate. Access denied.".

 The thing is my ldap config is the following:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<LdapConfig>
  <AnonymousAccess Enable="true" />
</LdapConfig>

Hence I don't know why access is denied. And even if I use my acccount mail and the password, access is still denied.

Anyone understand what is my problem ? What are the xml ldap entries allowed ?

Thank you in advance for *any* hint.

Hello again,

I like talking to myself. The problem with the authentification is your username is your complete mail address user@domain.com. Hope it will help in future search.

Now I would like to throw another bottle at the sea. Can you populate the ldap database with people that don't even have an account on the smartermail server ? I would like to use ldap to store all our contacts and share it amongst the accounts... From what I've gathered it's not possible ?

Thank you.

Looking deeper in the matter, I've imported all the contacts in the main account, shared it with all the others. And it works great from the web, really a nice feature (you can share with a specific group, etc). But as I suspected, ldap won't return any of these contacts...

It's really too bad smartertools didn't do that last step. Are there plans to do that ? Any workaround ?
