Hi, I have a patch for qmail-ldap to get it working with Microsoft ADS, this will be great for me (other than the stability of ADS) as it will mean I am one step closer to a single point of authentication.
The patch I have found maps LDAP_MAILSTORE to "userprinciplename", this is a uniquie name thats used for logging into a domain, and LDAP_UID to "mail" in the ADS. This isn't really going to work for me because it will mean changing the usernames for around 4000 users, and although each user can do their own - its been ruled out as an option by management for support reasons (imagine a help desk when that change goes ahead - shudder) Right now under OpenLDAP, our uid is the same as our mailMessageStore anyway, so I was thinking that I could just map both LDAP_MAILSTORE and LDAP_UID to "userprinciplename" this would solve all my problems if it worked. What, if any, are the side effects of doing this? (I don't mean use ADS, I mean tying LDAP_MAILSTORE and LDAP_UID together like this) Would people recommend that I don't do this? -- Thanks Andrew McCall Internet System Administrator I.C.T.
