Re: [GLLUG] Intro and network drive
thank you everyone. Eventually I had time to sit down and look at this issue. It was easier than ever. At first mdns-scan was not picking anything up of course. Then I saw in gnome that it was trying to connect to network (wired) but failed. It was easy as creating a new wired network profile. From the top-right, click on the batteries. Or under "wired settings". Then add a new network profile Identity: Lacie Network MTU: automatic IPv4: Link-local only IPv6: Link-local only As soon as connected to such network the mdns-scan managed to pick the drive address, nautilus automatically showed the drive on which I was able to simply click and put in the driver's user/pass to connect to the share. A minor thing, non blocking is that it mount the driver under a quite deep place that I'd like to change to something more meaningful. For example in this round of mounting is: /run/user/1001/gvfs/smb-share:port=139,server=networkspacemax.local,share=myshare/. Anyone with hints on this already would be appreciated. Otherwise I will give some research and in case I'll manage in my backup scripts.

Do you have an LDAP server or a CardDAV server or both? I would have thought having a single server that can handle both query types is the way to go, because I expect the data model behind CardDAV and LDAP is different. One would probably need to design the data model from the start with both protocols in mind, to get this working well.

Re: [GLLUG] Perl programming project
Hi, Resending this as I still haven't found anyone and circumstances have changed massively in the last 6 weeks. Cheers all. Marco On 20/02/2020 10:56, Marco van Beek wrote: Hi All, Wondering if there is anyone on the list who fancies a little Perl programming project? The resulting code would be open source (and happy for the author to put it up on SourceForge / etc) and it would appear to be a "much sort-for but never found" bit of code if my web searches are anything to go by. Long story short, we are trying to migrate from Samba3 with our own somewhat hacked version of OpenLDAP to Samba4 that has it's own version of LDAP that isn't really suitable for a couple of things we need to do with it. Basically we currently have an LDAP address book which is used by our desktop phones and our scanner. We also have started to use CardDAV as support is slowly extended into Thunderbird and Outlook (via a plug-in) but the VOIP phones and MFD do not understand CardDAV, so we need something to allow CardDAV to answer LDAP queries. After much unsuccessful searching (found one bit of bespoke code but the author never got back to me) I have figured out that OpenLDAP can use a Perl backend, and there is a Perl module that does CardDAV. We do not need a full two way conversation between the two, but as a project this does have the potential for a much bigger scope. Anyway, my Perl programming days are a while ago and right now whilst not exactly cash rich, I am time poor, so happy to throw some money in someone's direction if they think they can pull it off. I don't think it is more than a couple of days worth of work, but setting up a CardDAV system and an OpenLDAP system would be time consuming so we could fire up a VM with these already set up for someone to play with if that was needed. If anybody out there is interested let me know. Cheers, Marco -- GLLUG mailing list GLLUG@mailman.lug.org.uk https://mailman.lug.org.uk/mailman/listinfo/gllug
