Owncloud with Kolab LDAP Backend

[Jan Kowalsky]

Hi Christian,

I just tested successfully the owncloud 6.0 with multi-domain. The ldap-
configuration frontend in owncloud changed a little bit. 


It works for me with the following configuration:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[tab server]
Host: localhost
User-dn: uid=kolab-service,ou=Special Users,dc=example,dc=com
Password: onlyyouknowit
One Base dn per Line: dn=example,dn=com


[tab user filter]
in the new configuration-frontend, you can choose the object-classes per click. 

just kolabinetorgperson is enough

nothing more neccesary - only if you want to filter 

[tab login filter]
choose both:
LDAP-Username
LDAP email address

-> because of multidomain you need the email-address for login.

[tab group filter]
nothing to select -  if you don't want to filter groups

[tab advanced]
User display Name field: leave it for showing name and first name - change it to 
uid, mail or whatever you want

Base User tree: -> here it's important to mention all your domains - user can 
login from:

dc=example,dc=com
dc=hosted-domain1,dc=net
dc=hosted-domain2,dc=net
...

Group Display name Field: cn


Base Group Treee: -> see Base user tree: if you want to filter for groups in 
your domains add all hiere (I haven't tried this out ...)

Other fields I left untouched

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One Problem I found is, that owncloud interprets the mailQuota (which you can 
set in -> advances  -> special attributes ) for giving the owncloud the same 
quota than the kolab-user in MB instead of GB ;-)

But this should not to hard to get fixed.

I hope it works for you also. Please tell me, if you found out something 
helpfull in relation to owncloud.


Best regards

Jan
