Z-push and uid...

[ABBAS Alain]

Hello
The Zpush module authenticate as the same way than Imap ( the parameters should be the same than 
your standard Email client Software 

You can Verify : 
1) in the Z-push directory config.php 
Verify the dn and password of the nobody account 
(z-pusk makes a LDAP Request to find the User's Kolab server (kolabhomeserver))
and then contact in IMAP that server

2) you can verify the credential directly to fire the activesync Url

Objet: Z-push and uid...

Hi,

I have a Kolab server (2.2.4) with Z-push 0.7.5. On this server, the 
UID's do not reflect the email_address, but rather some other stuff (for 
example, the mail field would be christian.tardif at servinfo.ca, but the 
uid might be tardich). On this server, I was trying to connect (in order 
for contacts to sync) with my email_address as username, and my 
password. The server keeps asking for the password, until I realized 
that what is requested field was uid, instead of the mail field.

This is rather bad, as this uid field might be used for other stuff, as 
in my example. The thing is that this server also authenticate samba 
users, which does not use the email address as login name, but some 
other user.

I checked on another Kolab server (2.3.1), and I get the same error. 
Z-push tries to authenticate through uid instead of mail. So the problem 
comes from the z-push module, am I right?  As kolab supports different 
uid and mail, z-push should authenticate with the mail field instead of 
uid, as the user might not even be aware of its uid, only its mail address.
