LDAP - Converting Kolab 2.4 to 3.1

[Christian Tardif]

Hi Timotheus,

I'm almost done with the conversion of my users/groups from 2.4. But 
there's one thing I just don't get. When I want to create one Kolab 
group ( (I,m finally using the php libraries that comes with Kolab 3.1 
to do that), the group gets created, but in the wrong domain. I checked 
to make sure I'm sending all objects the Kolab group needs (ou, 
uniqueMember, mail, objectClasses, cn) but it does not create the DN in 
the right domain. It keeps creating it in the default domain (using 
group_add function). What do I need to set before invoking group_add 
function to set the base_dn?  Or how do I invoke group_add ?  Actually, 
I'm invoking it as group_add($group_array), which $group_array contains 
all the objects it should require...

Once this done, I'll have a perfect translation between 2.4 and 3.1

Thanks,

Christian...
