RE: [IMail Forum] LDAP Attributes for new users
Does anyone know if LDAP is suppose to add new users upon creation of an account? Thus far it appears that I have to sync LDAP each and every time I add a new user. This is terribly inconvenient now that I rely on LDAP for general mail delivery. If this behavior is by design, does anyone know how I may script LDAP to sync its database? I've also found it necessary to restart the LDAP service after a sync as it has a tendency to lockup if I do a sync while it is in use.

RE: [IMail Forum] LDAP Attributes for new users
Will, I suspect what you are seeing is the time delay between syncs of the NT users database and that is dependent on the OS or you, doing a manual sync. The receipt of an email can be a trigger that causes IMail to (among other things!) check the NT DB and look for the new user, so I guess I would suggest you try sending an email to the new user as part of your 'adduser' process. When using the IMail database, older versions would not create the users folder (and the files it contains) until an email was received or the user logged in. You could also try logging in as the new user and see if that triggers getting the LDAP data. There probably is a way to script a LDAP sync, but I'm no programmer, so I cannot offer much help there.

RE: [IMail Forum] LDAP content
Thank you for your response. I've read your programs and they sound handy, however they will not quite work for what I need. I am polling my LDAP from a barracuda spam firewall to ensure that users receiving mail at [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] use the same quarantine and account settings where domain2.com is a host alias to domain.com. My user aliases are not a concern at this point. What I need is to see something like this: uid=john uid=john ou=People [EMAIL PROTECTED] [EMAIL PROTECTED] All I need is some other value in LDAP such as alt above so that I can link both [EMAIL PROTECTED] and [EMAIL PROTECTED] to the same uid. I was hoping there would be a better way than having to write a scheduled script. Perhaps default LDAP content so Imail does this upon account creation. Unlike Imail, An exchange server would publish this information. Do you know where Imail determines its LDAP content from for new users?

Re: [IMail Forum] LDAP revisited
We've been using the organization field as the division within the company A,B or C We've been using the department as the department within the division. Typical tree structure that we use in AD and NDS You're certainly not using O and OU in AD. AD uses DNS-federated partitions (DC=example,DC=com) in place of O objects. NDS uses O and OU, though. Anyway, in typical use, O as corporation (fully independent division would qualify as well) and OU as department are perfectly fine. But, as you saw. . . That'stellingmethatwithinimail, everyones in ou=people.o=mail.ameripride.org folder, thus the division department philosophy can no longer be used. Correct? Those are the default locations within an IMail/OpenLDAP system. The locations are not fixed per se: it is possible to automatically have IMail store users in a different container. HOWEVER, the automatic part will only affect the hierarchical location of the users, NOT the O attribute linked to the user objects themselves. This may be thought of a bug in IMail, but ah well. To explain further, IMail _can_ store the user object in OU=B30 Minnetonka accounting, O=AmeriPride Services Inc -- and if you used this as your base DN for searching and didn't filter any further, you'd find the users. But if you tried to search on (O=AmeriPride Services Inc) under that search base, strange as this might seem, you wouldn't find the users, since IMail will continue to hard-assign the O attribute the value O=mail.ameripride.org. Generally speaking, this broken backlink is a definite no-no. It can lead to unpredictable search behavior from LDAP clients, and might possibly create non-removable objects depending on the server platform. But if you can strictly police how clients access your server, the technically broken db may do you fine. I wouldn't be too comfortable with it myself, but on the flipside of that, I don't mind making manual adjustments via ldapmodify (such as matching the O value with the O grandparent container, or deleting the O value entirely). --Sandy Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/download/release/ Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange or IMail mailboxes into IMail Aliases! http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/download/release/ http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/ldap2aliases/download/release/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/

RE: [IMail Forum] LDAP - adding multiple phone numbers
Okay...Why? I have to be somewhat persistent here because we are studying Imail for our corporate solution. We have over 80 consultants working for us from all over the country and contact info is essential. To restrict phone numbers to just one cannot be an effective solution. From our perspective Imail is great. LDAP also gives us greater flexibility to provide contact information corporate wide but we are missing a few attributes; mobile/cell phone, fax number, office/business number, pager and home number. Presently, we cannot keep contact information up-to-date in a form that is easy for the consultants to manage. Is there ANY solution to consider? Thanks!

RE: [IMail Forum] LDAP Authentication
First verify you are indeed running IMail 8.12 then I would suggest you Synch the LDAP Database (LocalHost - Services - LDAP) If that does not resolve it then I would suggest you download a copy of Softerra's LDAP Browser (It's FREE!) to assist in troubleshooting http://download.softerra.com/getfile.php?name=ldapbrowser26.msi Create a new profile connecting to your IMail LDAP server and put a check on Anonymous Bind Check to see that it lists your domain and user O=Imail_Official_Host_Name Ou=People Uid=%userid% If it does then right click on the profile and select properties, Click on the Credentials tab and uncheck anonymous bind and enter Uid=%userid%,ou=people,o=%Imail_Official_Host_Name% in the UserDN Field and enter the password Click Ok and see if it is able to authenticate If that doesn't work, create a new IMail user and try again with that user If none of this works then contact me off list and I will try to assist you further.

RE: [IMail Forum] LDAP extreme basic question
We are a small shop too (50+ users) and have tried using OpenLDAP for a central address book. It works, but extremely simple and not very friendly to Outlook. You can setup LDAP directory services in any version of Outlook quite easily. But it doesn't lookup information cleanly, and won't provide a complete list of users at any given time. Looking up people in the to line of outlook is the only thing that appears to work well. (type in a name in the to line, and the email address is replaced within a moment) Trying to share phone numbers and office addresses really sucks with this implementation. OpenLDAP doesn't seem to respond to Outlooks queries properly at all. And Searches fail on the most basic parameters. For instance, Imail defaults the organization field to people, I left that there for no basic reason, yet Outlook won't return anyone if I search on people. Plus the office address field always returns trash characters along with the address. I can't figure out why the list of people doesn't just show up when you open the address book. To get a person you always have to do a manual search. Don't get me started about the problems in the OpenLDAP with KillerWebMail integration. Gads! At this point, I'd say that IPSwitches move to OpenLDAP was bad, rather than good. I'm a new Imail admin, so I don't know about the old LDAP they used to use. But, the change might be a good one if they do the Collaboration tool well. We are waiting patiently (not really) for their new Collaboration Tool to be released.

Re: [IMail Forum] LDAP extreme basic question
provided your client can do LDAP it should work. Outlook should be ok and hopefully others are using it with 8.11. We use a differen client and LDAP works well for us however we have not upgraded to 8.11 yet. The prior verion 8.05 and earlier did well. not only that, but if your client allows, you can setup organization and department valuse so, if you can select everyone with a particular department as well. we are a K-12 school district and we can do this for e-mailing (examples) e-mail everyone at a particular building or all 3rd grade teachers at a building or at all buildings. We also use it as a telephone directory as phone numbers are there as well.

Re: [IMail Forum] LDAP extreme basic question
We are a small company with about 75 email users -- we are not an ISP.) In that case, I would strongly recommend installing IMail on a domain controller, either as its own segregated domain or as part of the corporate AD domain if it exists. You can then just use AD's built-in LDAP support, which is proven compatible with all recent versions of Outlook. Ipswitch has quite intelligently chosen to bundle open-source LDAP in the latest version of LDAP, but to many accounts the integration is not quite complete--and, in any case, AD and Outlook play as happily as possible. --Sandy Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/download/release/ Defuse Dictionary Attacks: Turn Exchange Addresses into IMail Aliases! http://www.mailmage.com/products/software/freeutils/exchange2aliases/download/release/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/

RE: [IMail Forum] LDAP 8.11

Do you have the "o=domain.name" thing in your Outlook LDAP setup? Be sure to check the KB on IPSwitch as any answer they have yet is there (few, but there) One problem, similar to this, i just got fixed was that I had to add all the domains to the host file for windows (with the LAN ip address, not the WAN address like you mightthink)on the IMail server for KillerLDAP (Webmail) to work with OpenLDAP.

Re: [IMail Forum] LDAP acces with external tool
But.. I just though of something.. From what I understand we are having a speed issue with the IMail administrator and the WebModules (WebMail WebCalendar) because the IMail server try to conect himself to the OpenLDAP server which is built in and timeout. Lets say that I have only one host, named microtecsecurite.com which is my main IMail host. I check the general Tab of this host and the IP in there is my mail server's external IP. It is because its resolved by querying DNS which is our external DNS. So when IMail tries to connect to the LDAP service (IMail OpenLDAP server) it tries to connect to the LDAP port specified in the LDAP service screen to the IP specified in the main host general tab which is its external IP (in my case) So since it tries to connect with its external IP it can't reach itself because this port is blocked by our Firewall and timeout after a while. My question is, why don't it use the loopback adress to do something like this?

Re: [IMail Forum] LDAP acces with external tool
Hi Brad The point wasn't there. I know that I should configure IMail to use my internal DNS, my problem is that we are having much problem with our internal DNS.. (were terribly under staffed so we haven't had the time to solve this issue.) So I can't take the risk to put it on the internal DNS until our problem solved. My question is why IMail don't use 127.0.0.1 for self service querying? Is there a reason for that. ps: Pardon my maybe stupid question but im only 25 and been a network admin for only 2 years now.

There's 3 levels your dealing with local, intranet, and internet. 127.0.0.1 is local to that machine only 10.10.100.3 is intranet ?.?.?.? is internet It all depends on how Imail, Open ldap, the web interfaces are written and configured. If the web interfaces are written as server side, then 127.0.0.1 might work because it's running on itself. But if the web interfaces runs on client side127.0.0.1 is on the client pc, not the server...thus the query wouldn't work. Open LDAP's querying will respond on 127.0.0.1 if the query is made on the local machine and if it's told to listen on that ip address. Your only options are to have it all work completely correct are: 1. Resolve your dns issues internally and configure accordingly. 2. lock down the imail server and place it on the outside of your firewall (ie internet) Take my word for it...I tried to do what your doing many years ago when I was new also. - Original Message - From: Patrick Ouellet [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, April 15, 2004 12:53 PM Subject: Re: [IMail Forum] LDAP acces with external tool Hi Brad The point wasn't there. I know that I should configure IMail to use my internal DNS, my problem is that we are having much problem with our internal DNS.. (were terribly under staffed so we haven't had the time to solve this issue.) So I can't take the risk to put it on the internal DNS until our problem solved. My question is why IMail don't use 127.0.0.1 for self service querying? Is there a reason for that. ps: Pardon my maybe stupid question but im only 25 and been a network admin for only 2 years now. Brad Morgan a écrit : So when IMail tries to connect to the LDAP service (IMail OpenLDAP server) it tries to connect to the LDAP port specified in the LDAP service screen to the IP specified in the main host general tab which is its external IP (in my case) So since it tries to connect with its external IP it can't reach itself because this port is blocked by our Firewall and timeout after a while. Patrick, If your Imail server is behind a firewall (as mine is), then I think you may have configured it incorrectly. The TCP/IP address entered on my Imail server is its internal IP address. All of my internal users and any services on the Imail machine use this address to talk to this machine. Very efficient because the firewall doesn't have to be involved and we use direct ethernet-ethernet routing. My firewall forwards packets directed at the outside email IP address to the internal IP address, and changes the source IP address of packets sent from the Imail server to its external address. All the other internal machines use standard NAT so they all appear to be coming from the firewall external IP address. I've got an internal DNS server (which the firewall provides) that translates the name of my Imail server to its internal IP address. My ISP hosts my external DNS entries. If you run your own DNS servers, they can probably be configured to provide this feature. If you have your Imail server in a DMZ, then its slightly more complicated to configure but the same principles apply.

RE: [IMail Forum] LDAP acces with external tool
My question is why IMail don't use 127.0.0.1 for self service querying? Is there a reason for that. I can't answer this question but my guess is that since under normal circumstances, the name resolves to the local IP address, this optimization isn't necessary. Have you tried adding an entry to the server's hosts file so that when it queries DNS for its own IP address, it gets the local address? You could even resolve the name to 127.0.0.1 if you'd prefer.

RE: [IMail Forum] LDAP
I think there are osme bugs with the install routine as too many people have incomplete messages in the Event Viewers, howver, mine too took a long time to normlaize after I did the INIT. Now, though, it is working very very well aside from the incomplete Event Viewer messages. Hopefully since there are enough of us out there with the tweaked out logs, Ipswitch will make a HF. But since it doesn't actually stop the services from working I doubt it's a priority.

RE: [IMail Forum] LDAP
I agree that there is some bugs with install. Perhaps because of those bugs, I cannot get my LDAP service to even start. INIT will not work because (I am assuming) that the service will not start. Its not the end of the world for us because we never used it, but we would like to be able to store the employee names with their e-mail addresses, and the updgrade now needs LDAP to do that. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Travis Rabe Sent: Wednesday, April 14, 2004 3:19 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [IMail Forum] LDAP I think there are osme bugs with the install routine as too many people have incomplete messages in the Event Viewers, howver, mine too took a long time to normlaize after I did the INIT.

RE: [IMail Forum] LDAP Conversion in 8.1?
Got it. I did have Hide from info services enabled on all my accounts. I guess I didn't know the new system would mean they hide in Imail Administrator as well!

Re: [IMail Forum] LDAP Issue
I run a query using Softerra's LDAP browser in order to discover the root LDAP folder... Without delving into any more of the details, suffice it to say that the ILDAP daemon before version 8.1 (which was just released) was not really LDAPv3 compliant and presented many similar problems for those looking to integrate the service with third-party, RFC-compliant LDAP lookups. Hacks were made available for specific versions of specific mail clients, but it's still pretty much a dog. For LDAP access to the IMail userbase before 8.1, the most reliable method is to use IMail's Active Directory integration and query using AD's robust LDAP support. Note that this doesn't mean you have to use AD anywhere but on the IMail server itself; you could set up the server as a DC in an isolated AD domain of its own just to get LDAP for your set of mail users. In 8.1, Ipswitch has taken the very smart step of bundling the well-regarded OpenLDAP for LDAP support. I don't kow if the kinks are worked out as yet, but when they are this should be a trustworthy solution for querying IMail from third-party apps. --Sandy Sanford Whiteman, Chief Technologist Broadleaf Systems, a division of Cypress Integrated Systems, Inc. e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] SpamAssassin plugs into Declude! http://www.mailmage.com/download/software/freeutils/SPAMC32/Release/ To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
Re: [IMail Forum] LDAP Working now
Removing objectclass=Person did the trick. Why is it mentioned in the kb articles? - Original Message - From: Scott Erwin [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, February 03, 2004 10:51 AM Subject: [IMail Forum] LDAP Hi, I'm evaluating version 8.05 and can't seem to get LDAP to work. All I've done so far is to install 8.05, add a few users and set up Outlook Express 6 as a client. I've added the directory service and changed the search base to objectclass=Person. Should it work at this point? I've clicked Optimize LDAP and Init LDAP and have no idea where to go next. I've been searching the knowledgebase without much luck. Each time I make a query, the log file has an entry that shows the date and time followed by : SearchCount 0. Any ideas?

RE: [IMail Forum] LDAP and that old, Outlook magic
OK -- Here's how to remedy this. DELETE the reference to the directory service in Outlook. RECREATE the reference (ADD-DIRECTORY SERVICE) and DO NOT check Do you want to check addresses Then, finish all your PROPERTIES stuff (objectclass=*, etc.) Check everything to make sure it works. Then, if you need it, go back and enable the check addresses box. Apparently, there's some kind of funk with checking the Do you want to check addresses... thingy upon creation of the directory service. Seems to work after-the-fact, however. Way to go Microsoft. :( Ted To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/

It works for me with the same setup. My search Base field is blank. The queries are also case sensitive. Do a test and look for @ it should return the maximin number of answers.

I'm stumped. We replaced two older XP desktops with two new Dells running XPSP1. Installed Outlook 2000/Internet on each workstation, moved the users' .PST file to the appropriate location and all is well ... except that LDAP doesn't work. All queries return with: There are no entries in the directory service that match your search criteria. I set up these desktops with the EXACT same Outlook LDAP parameters as the originals they replaced. All my existing desktops are still functioning as expected. Outlook's LDAP search simply doesn't want to work. I'm also having a hard time debugging it because this appears to be the only entry in the SYSMMDD log: 2004.01.21 11:25 : SearchCount 0 Whaddya think?
