Authentication against scalix ldap

Postby anthony.hardy » Tue Oct 24, 2006 5:21 pm

We are looking for a printing control solution for our institution. I have a solution that is cost feasible and will authenticate against ldap. Can you authenticate against scalix's ldap with an external program?

No, you can't, the authentication information is not stored in the LDAP tree, but in some other internal structures.

You can, however, use OpenLDAP, add the Scalix users into it and syncronize from that. Your Scalix users will then match the LDAP tree. You can then set up both Scalix and your app to authenticate against that.

Can the default Scalix "change password" function be redirected to change the OpenLDAP pass? I assume yes, but I want to be certain.

Yes, but then you must use the standard Linux pam_ldap and Scalix om_om2authid modules and not the Scalix om_ldap to do the authentication.
