<p>Dear Paul and Thorsten,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Actualy I'm using Samba4 which does not use standard LDAP as far as I understand but instead MS Active Directory. I have seen that there is a version of Kolab for <strong>Univention Corporate Server (UCS)</strong> <strong><a href="http://kolabsys.com/news/kolab-ucs-31-now-available-univention-app-center">http://kolabsys.com/news/kolab-ucs-31-now-available-univention-app-center</a>, </strong>which uses Active Directory as its user database I suppose. But this solution (UCS) is not OK for me as licences have to be paid for production servers and I really don't need this as my goal is to use free software.</p>
<p>Also in Samba 4 Standard LDAP backend support is not developed actively any more and it wont be in future releases as far as I have been reading.</p>
<p>I already have Samba4 Active Directory working with a few users and I would like to use this directory of users also for Kolab.</p>
<p>As for the web administration I can live without it because I will use MS Remote Server administration tool which works great with Samba 4 so I can manage users with this tool from any Windows machine.</p>
<p>I have found no guides for this combination of Samba 4 and Kolab 3 and I'm not really that familiar with LDAP or AD so I was hoping that someone did something similar and can give me some pointers.</p>
<p>I will try to make this work and I will post my progress here but if anyone has some advice or can help me in any way I would really appreciate it.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>best regards,</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Borut.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>I thank you for your reply. However I'm not sure this will work as both of these (samba4 and Kolab) use LDAP for user database.</p>
<p>I'm not sure how to run two LDAP servers on the same machine and I didn't find anywhere how I can setup kolab with different LDAP server or other kind of user database the it's 386 Directory Server for now.</p>
<p>If there is a way I can run 2 LDAP servers (one form samba4 and the other from Kolab) I could do as you suggested but I'm not really sure.</p>
<p>Perfect soulution for me would be that both (Kolab and Samba) would use just one common LDAP server.</p>
<p>Is this possible?</p>
<p> </p>

I recommend looking at the LSC Project to sync the two user databases
up.
<a href="http://lsc-project.org/wiki/">http://lsc-project.org/wiki/</a>The LSC mailing list is pretty good if you need help setting it up.

All the instructions I have found for Kolab 3 only use the LDAP that comes with Kolab 3. If there is a way I could do this I would like some pointers in how this can be done. regards, Borut. -- Dedomena - Obvladovanje Podatkov in Informacij, Borut Pinter, s.p.

<pre>I had this running on a Kolab 3 test server, although I'm not currently
doing this in my live server. I followed one of the many Samba/LDAP
tutorials out there, and managed to integrate the user management for
both in my Kolab LDAP server.
However, there were a few issues, mainly that the kolab-webadmin not
only does not offer support for this, but actually stopped working after
I added the required Samba object classes to my uses. I got a 500
internal server error with every attempt to update a users in Kolab
webadmin. This is also the reason I'm not actually running this in a
live situation (yet), although it's on my list of stuff to look into.
I reckon you can get it to work with alternative LDAP management
software (I used PHPLDAPAdmin) as long as you accept that kolab-webadmin
won't work anymore (or if you fix that :-D).
Let us know how you get on.
Cheers,
Paul

<pre>... or if you submit issue reports and are ready to wait for them to be
resolved... ;)
