I don't know if anybody tried that yet. But you might wish to give us  
some additional details about the configuration you are trying to use  
to access the Kolab LDAP database. While there are probably not many  
people using EGroupware with Kolab we might be able to spot problems  
in the LDAP configuration.

In general I don't think it makes much sense to use EGroupware with  
Kolab at the moment. You can of course use the mail (IMAP) and  
addressbook (LDAP) capabilities of the EGroupware suite with Kolab.  
But as far as I know - I did not check the Egroupware sources lately  
though - EGroupware does not support the Kolab format for groupware  
objects. This means you can't access your personal addressbook,  
calendar, notepad and task list on the Kolab server. Of course you  
have your SQL based data but this means you won't have the possibility  
to access the groupware data with any other Kolab client such as  
Kontact or Outlook with a connector.

EGroupware could of course grab the Horde/Kolab packages and adapt  
them to their storage needs. They already did so with some other Horde  
packages.

Cheers,

Gunnar
