Hello sato,

 

    I don't understand what problem do you have with different uid/mail.... you can add qmailuser objectclass in your existing user's domain account, after that you can add any mail address what you like...

 

May be you don't know about ldap prebind option in qmail-ldap? with this option qmail doesn't search auth itself, it is doing ldap.

 

 

Best Wishes,

    Gennady.

Hello guys,
I'm building a new qmail-ldap server and going to use 
the existing ldap server. All this time, the LDAP server has been used side by 
side with a PDC. The problem is, the uid (user login names for the domain) are 
different from their email address. For example, my uid=sato but my mail address 
is sato.xav@ramona.co.id. 

I 
can change the uid's according to their email addresses but it will cost me a 
lot of work on the implementation, that I have to move user's profiles from old 
directory into the new directory (on WinXP Pro). Is there anyway for the 
qmail-ldap server to recognize the user email's password, e.g, when I send an 
email, the qmail-ldap server will search for sato.xav@ramona.co.id's password in 
uid=sato,ou=Users,dc=ramona,dc=co,dc=id? Thank you for your help.

Kind 
regards,

sato
