Add contacts to global address book in ldap

tboernert

thanks, so this would be enough here ?

dn: uid=contact,ou=People,dc=domain,dc=net
objectClass: posixAccount
objectClass: top
objectClass: kopano-contact
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
gidNumber: 1000
cn: Surname Lastname
mail: contact@domain.net
uidNumber: 1000
kopanoAliases: contactalias@domain.net
uid: Surname
sn: Lastname

Thanks

Thomas

@tboernert this looks about right

Hi @fbartels,

i tried it:

ldap_add: Object class violation (65)
additional info: object class ‘posixAccount’ requires attribute ‘homeDirectory’

Is the object class “posixAccount” needed ?

Thanks

Thomas

fbartels

@tboernert that depends solely on your ldap.cfg

Hi @fbartels ,

the ldap.cfg hold 5 entries:

ldap_uri
ldap_starttls
ldap_bind_user
ldap_bind_passwd
ldap_search_base

nothing else.

Is the object class “posixAccount” needed ?

Thanks

Thomas

the contact is exactly the same as the user, but with the added kopano-contact objectclass.

That is wrong. Contacts need only have kopano-contact objectClass (plus then inetOrgPerson for obvious reasons); kopano-user is not a requirement, nor is posixAccount a requirement, as that would actually create a user in either the Kopano space or the POSIX user namespace, which of course is not always wanted.

Well. the contact needs to be found with the same search filter you use to fine the other users for kopano-server. and with the kopano-contacts objectclass the object is then reduced to a contact.

No, it can be freely configured to be something else. See:

Nonsense. Contacts are found via the objectClass set in ldap_contact_type_attribute_value, users via the class set in ldap_user_type_attribute_value.

@jengelh yes, but both users and contacts need to match with ldap_user_search_filter, which is what I was saying all along.

And the default value for ldap_user_search_filter is the empty string. It all plays together.
