== LDAP for SME Server ==
=== Maintainer ===
http://firewall-services.com
=== Description ===
This contribution for smeserver adds LDAP
{{Warning box|This is development code, not suitable for production servers, testing and feedback is welcome}}
This allows the use of SME user's database in other applications
: either local, eg. a LAMP app
: on the server itself like egroupware,
: on the local network, eg. another server in the local network which runs an ERP, but uses SME server user/group database,
: or even a remote host, eg. a GLPI instance used to manage requests from several clients using SME server.
Some applications have the possibility to use imap/pop authentication (egroupware, GLPI, maybe others), but some don't offer this possibility, but can use only LDAP. imap/pop isn't as powerful as LDAP as we can only check user/password, whereas with LDAP, we can check other attributes, groups of the user etc...
=== Requirements ===
You need a test server, preferably SME 8.
We need feedback to Bugzilla, either [http://bugs.contribs.org/show_bug.cgi?id=4590 here] or create a new bug for new issues.
=== Installation ===
This contrib is currently held in the smetest repository, so the following commands will install on your smeserver.
yum --enablerepo=smetest install e-smith-base+ldap e-smith-samba+ldap
This will replace standard e-smith-base and e-smith-samba packages
signal-event post-upgrade; signal-event reboot
=== Uninstall ===
rpm -e e-smith-base+ldap e-smith-samba+ldap
yum install e-smith-base e-smith-samba [untested ...]
=== Usage ===
{{Incomplete}}
ToDo, Add example setups for different types of clients
=== Source ===
The source for this contrib can be found in the smeserver CVS [http://smeserver.cvs.sourceforge.net/smeserver/smeserver-e-smith-base+ldap/ e-smith-base+ldap] and
