That's neat.
I wouldn't consider it a practical change for the base QMT though, as
it's not generic enough. For example, how would it be implemented with
an LDAP backend? I hope to have an LDAP option for vpopmail when we
upgrade to vpopmail v5.5.
I don't know about vpopmail with LDAP backend but currently Samba4 has
Active Directory Support with it's own LDAP engine (no longer requeires
OpenLDAP).
http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba
And the best thing with Samba's Active Directory that it can be managed
with Windows Remote Administration Tools (the same tool that you get on
Win2000/2003/2008 server to manage Users, Groups, Computers)
so what I do now is, using MySQL Triggers to insert a record table
user_access.dc_notify every time qmailadmin / vpopmail changes table
vpopmail.holding_com
then a cron script read table user_access.dc_notify and do actions
Samba4's DC/ADS either creating new user, remove user or change the password
I have test it internally, and I can have user's PC (WinXP on vm) logon
to Samba4's DC/ADS,
Ms outlook can have address book of all email accounts @holding.com,
And with Active directory that contain user/pass I can have appliances
(such as Proxy, VPN ) and applications (web, desktop, mobile) to check
credentials against it.
I know is not that simple, but currently this is the only way I know, to
provide LDAP/Active Directory support to my network with
username/password that same with email account.
I don't know when QMT v2.0 will be launch with Dovecot, vpopmail5.5 with
LDAP, mailman and so on. but I do hope the new version is still
compatible with old version or at least have migration path
or even great that I can choose what module or configuration applied to
my old QMT box.
because these configuration requires vpopmail with mysql support, and
each domain on each table, and clear-text-password
ps:
1. I also have mysql table that contains email's user and md5'ed
clear-text-password for old application that do not have ability /
plugin /module to check into DC/ADS
2. And they said, Samba4 is not compatible/suggested/recommended with
OpenLDAP http://wiki.samba.org/index.php/Samba4/LDAP_Backend
3. does other QMT's corporate / business users still need Active
directory? if so I may share my script/configuration
