[Kolab-devel] [3.5] Installation on CentOS: webadmin login

[Jochen Hein]

Hello,

I've tried another installation of Kolab Development, this time on
CentOS 7.2.  After installation and setup-kolab I couldn't login to
kolab-webadmin with cn=Directory Administrator.  In
https://coders-home.de/kolab-webadmin-login-unter-centos-7-nach-installation-nicht-moeglich-632.html
I found the tip to enable apache access to LDAP with

,----
| setsebool httpd_can_connect_ldap=true
`----

After that I can login to kolab-webadmin and can create a user.
Can we use that Instead of "disable selinux" in the installation
instructions (source/installation-guide/preparing-the-system.rst)?
Or is that something that should be added to setup-kolab?
