Kolab and remote LDAP authentication?

[Constantin Oesterling]

Thank you for your response. However I think you got my question wrong. 
I'm aware that I can authenticate against LDAP with various applications 
and that's exactly what I want to do. So my question is: What is the 
best way to make the LDAP daemon listen on the external IP of my Kolab 
server on the LDAP port (ldap://)?
