scalix authid, ldap integration

[jleq]

Ok, I've skimmed the manual a bit, and I haven't found much information about these two (probably stupid) questions.

First: Is there any way that I can set the default AuthID to *not* include the domain name? I can set it manually for each account (or with a script), but I'd rather it just magically generate the correct name.

My second stupid question: I have an existing Samba server, running as an NT4 PDC with the ldapsam backend. I understand that Scalix can integrate with an LDAP directory, so I could unify account creation and management to some extent. Can someone point me to a place where I can find out more about how to actually do this?

Thanks much!

Hi John,

To answer your first question I guess it depends on what you mean by "I'd rather it just magically generate the correct name." What would you like the correct name to be? Unless you specifically set the auth id on a per user basis that value will be picked up by what is configured in the SAC/Server Settings/Server Domain Settings/Default Domain.

Of course a user doesn't have to use the auth id to log on. Last name works as long as it is unique. First Last works. Internet address works.

As far as your second question we integrate with Active Directory for a single point of account management. If you have a look at the admin guide starting on page 16 it will walk you through what is involved. Also see the man page for omldapsync. (Please pay no attention to the image on page 18.)

Regards,
Don

I have Scalix Web Access and Outlook Access authenticating against a Fedora Dir. Srv. Is it possible to allow the POP3 module to use LDAP as well?

I want to have all usernames and passwords located in FDS LDAP....

Any help is appreciated.

Hi Ryan,

Yes, go into the /var/opt/scalix/sys/pam.d subdirectory and create a symbolic link from the ual.remote file that you created previously to a file called pop3. That will allow the pop3 service authenticate against your LDAP directory, the same way as Outlook and SWA.

Thanks,
Rachel
