some month ago I tried to implement vpopmail with LDAP support, but with no success.
Also the support concerning LDAP configuration issues in the vpopmail mailing list was too poor at this time.
I have not tried to install a newer version of vpopmail with LDAP support. So I have no new experiences with
vpopmail and LDAP.
That's why I moved to qmail-ldap and decided to write my own LDAP based management tools.
If you have interest in qmail-ldap you can take a look at
www.nrg4u.com and
http://www.lifewithqmail.org/ldap/

Hi All,
I think, there should be no Problem with "Global Address book" with clients like Netscape or the new Mozilla. Both have LDAP capable
address books, and we're using it successfully openldap and qmail-ldap.

Global Address book for... SqWebMail?
Or is that some software that sits on top of LDAP servers?

Hello Vol
I understand configuring LDAP is a pain. Is there an alternative in
Vpopmail for people who require Global Address Book.
Also, If at all I succeed in getting LDAP database to work will the
Global Address book be available.
I'd like to hear from people who are using VPOPMAIL+LDAP in production
environment.

There's a lot going on with the LDAP configuration.
First of all. Your suffix must be contained within the VLDAP_BASEDN.
#define VLDAP_BASEDN "ou=%s, o=Inter7"
Your suffix should read:
suffix "o=Inter7"
If you don't want the o=Inter7, you must create your own schemas.
The o, and ou were used because they are standard with OpenLDAP,
and very little configuration-time would be needed (I thought anyway).
Lastly, you must create your suffix.
bash$ cat > file
dn: o=Inter7
o: Inter7
objectclass: organization
bash$ cat file | ldapinsert
bash$
Again, to everyone. The LDAP module does function properly, it's just
a real pain to configure. Second, we're not all too thrilled with
LDAP anyway, and we always suggest another database. If you feel
you're stuck with LDAP because you have an LDAP user-base from another
mail system, then you have no idea how right you are. Converting
between two different email LDAP database schemas is incredibly
difficult and time consuming.
That's it! :)
Good luck to everyone still willing to give the LDAP module a shot.

Hello List / Vol / Ken
I am trying to configure Vpopmail 5.0pre5 with OpenLDAP 2.0.7 on RH 7.1.
With the help that I've got from the archives of the list, this is what
I've included in slapd.conf file.
include /etc/openldap/schema/qmail.schema

NULL
};
#endif
Vpopmail compiled OK but when I try to vaddomian I get "Unable to chdir
to vpopmail/users" error.
The errors that I see in OpenLDAP logs are...

Would appreciate any pointers from people who have had success in making
OpenLDAP 2.x to work with Vpopmail. Once this is done I promise to
submit a detail HOWTO on VPOPMAIL+LDAP to the List. Meanwhile I'll
continue reading OpenLDAP docs.
