Good morning,
This deafening silence is really worrying !
Nobody call tell me the status of LDAP authentication from an
external source ? I just need to know if it is supposed to work
(because many of you are already using this feature and you never
had any problem with it) or if the code needs to be reworked. In
that case, I will work on that...
I just need to know if this task makes sense, just a few words would
really be helpful to understand the direction I have to walk
towards.
Thanks for your help and collaboration.

Hi,
After some more investigations, I found out that I need to change
the authentication method (variable $dolibarr_main_authentication
in conf/conf.php). So I did but the code looks really out of date
and uses global variables that are obviously not set ?!
I'll continue to search but if one can shed some light on this,
that would really help :)
Basically, I'm first wondering if LDAP authentication is supposed
to work ?
Thanks, have a great day.

Hi,
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...
