Dave, That's very interesting considering what Barracuda's support desk had to say yesterday. They were far from helpful. I think the tech was afraid to type more than 1 sentence at a time. See 2 emails below for your entertainment:
So to clearify, you're saying to add a field called defaultNamingContext to the LDAP db. Is there a specific value that needs to be defined within this field. I'm not vary familiar with LDAP. Thanks, Mike ================================ First Email Sent to Barracuda TS ================================ Yes, it works with any ldap server we can bind to - this includes Imail. - Chris > -----Original Message----- > From: M.

We use simple auth I believe and connect using the ldap v3 protocol. - Chris ================================== Second Email Sent to Barracuda TS ================================== > -----Original Message----- > From: M.

They (barracuda) have been informed of this issue and I have tried to ask the LDAP question in this forum before although it is a bit difficult to explain. Imails LDAP feature requires (at least in 8.x, others please beat me if I get this part wrong) that the search root be defined in the query, I suppose it is specific to the included LDAP server. That said, for the barracuda to actually find any data, they would have to provide us in their interface a place to add the search root ( o=domain.tld or some such business). They haven't and am not particularly confident they will. I have also brought up spf support (another thread in this forum) and that support is at least on the event horizon. Their t/s told me to add this to the ldap config file but I cannot find any other supporting documentation, so I have no idea exactly where it would go, or the exact format: <snip> You can accomplish this right now by setting the defaultNamingContext top level attribute. You do it at the top of your ldap tree. Just add a custom attribute by that name. Most installations have it already -- some novell ldap servers don't and apparently Imail doesn't utilize it either. </snip> The thing is, with multiple domains, I do not really see how this would affect searches that, from Barracuda's standpoint, would need to be across all domains in the LDAP database. Anyone else have an idea? ************* Dave Heritage Dave at onx dot cc 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/ 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/
