Hi Tim,

while it is possible (read: supposed to work and supported) to run 
Kolab against an OpenLDAP server, this is just not the default setup.

I reckon we are still lacking option value here (there's no 
--with-openldap-please switch to setup-kolab, so to speak), as well as 
documentation. If you are going to set up Kolab against an OpenLDAP 
server, sharing your notes and experiences would be greatly appreciated 
(as would your notes on migrating from OpenLDAP to 389 DS if you were to 
choose to do so).

I have some inline documentation on configuration for Kolab here:

Kind regards,
