For a possible new customer, I made some investigation about how to connect Dolibarr with Zimbra. We would really like to make the final solution fully integrated so that it looks like one solution for mail / agenda / contacts / invoices (and possibly more later).
So the first thing I wanted to achieve is to be able to connect in Dolibarr with an account created in Zimbra. As all accounts are stored in a LDAP directory, I thought it would be very straightforward...
After some (long) hours of bug hunting(*) I was able to browse the Zimbra user list and create an user account in Dolibarr from the information in Zimbra. Good.
Unfortunately, it looks like the password of this new user is managed in Dolibarr even if I specified the LDAP password field ?! I don't want to manage two times the same password: if the user is changing his/her password in Zimbra, he/she should be able to reuse the same in Dolibarr.
How can I re-use the password from Zimbra ?
Is this supposed to work ?
Thanks for your help.
(*) I found out many little glitches! The LDAP related code in v3.1.0-beta does not work. I may send a global patch (and some documentation) later if I can make the whole thing to work...
