we found it hard to use the kolab2-webadmin for administrating other account 
data, you'll need to add at least:
- integrate additional schema-definitions into the kolab2 
OpenLDAP-distribution/configuration
- add different objectClasses for users and groups; the kolab2-webadmin 
differs only based on the position in ldap not on objectClasses
- add more password-hashes, at least for samba
- add more group-membership-attributes, for normal memberships and primary 
groups

We found it easier to use other tools for the LDAP-administration, but this 
means for standard kolab2-setups that non-ldap-actions of the kolab2-webadmin 
(like sieve-skripting) need to be included, or the webadmin needs to be used 
too.

Cheers
Ingo
