ldap authentication

[heupink]

this is rather a detailed question.. I hope someone know the answer.

Suppose scalix and my own ldap server (used for user authentication) run on the same machine. Is it possible then to have scalix use a UNIX domain socket to connect to the ldap server?

That way, the standard ldap port could easily be made available as the scalix ldap port, and for updating my own ldap server, I could use a different, custom port.

Is this at al possible?

Kind regards, and have a nice weekend!

Hello,

you can change the port LDAP uses - if that helps you. BUT - it will break SAC, which uses 389 hardcoded.

/var/opt/scalix/sys/slapd.conf

Change portNum 389

to your needs.

Cheers,

Sascha.

Hi!

Good to know I can change the scalix ldap port, but the question really was: Is it possible to have scalix use a UNIX domain socket to connect to the ldap server? (ldapi, I mean)

If yes, I would not have to change any ldap ports, except the openldap one. (and since I would only use it to add/modify users) that would be relatively easy.

mj,

sorry, at this point, Scalix LDAP server and client only uses TCP sockets....

Cheers,
Florian.
