Dear Paul and Thorsten, 

Actualy I'm using Samba4 which does not
use standard LDAP as far as I understand but instead MS Active
Directory. I have seen that there is a version of Kolab for UNIVENTION
CORPORATE SERVER (UCS)
HTTP://KOLABSYS.COM/NEWS/KOLAB-UCS-31-NOW-AVAILABLE-UNIVENTION-APP-CENTER
[3], which uses Active Directory as its user database I suppose. But
this solution (UCS) is not OK for me as licences have to be paid for
production servers and I really don't need this as my goal is to use
free software. 

Also in Samba 4 Standard LDAP backend support is not
developed actively any more and it wont be in future releases as far as
I have been reading. 

I already have Samba4 Active Directory working
with a few users and I would like to use this directory of users also
for Kolab. 

As for the web administration I can live without it because
I will use MS Remote Server administration tool which works great with
Samba 4 so I can manage users with this tool from any Windows machine.


I have found no guides for this combination of Samba 4 and Kolab 3 and
I'm not really that familiar with LDAP or AD so I was hoping that
someone did something similar and can give me some pointers. 

I will
try to make this work and I will post my progress here but if anyone has
some advice or can help me in any way I would really appreciate it.


best regards, 

Borut.

just deployed a new samba4 server as DC for windows network. I would
like to add Kolab 3 as groupware to the same user base and I was
wondering if I can use samba4 AD or LDAP also for Kolab 3? All the
instructions I have found for Kolab 3 only use the LDAP that comes with
Kolab 3. If there is a way I could do this I would like some pointers in
how this can be done. regards, Borut. -- Dedomena - Obvladovanje

Mat, I thank you for your reply. However I'm not sure this will work as
both of these (samba4 and Kolab) use LDAP for user database. I'm not
sure how to run two LDAP servers on the same machine and I didn't find
anywhere how I can setup kolab with different LDAP server or other kind
of user database the it's 386 Directory Server for now. If there is a
way I can run 2 LDAP servers (one form samba4 and the other from Kolab)
I could do as you suggested but I'm not really sure. Perfect soulution
for me would be that both (Kolab and Samba) would use just one common
LDAP server. Is this possible?
