I'd like to contribute a new contrib for testing/deployment; anybody know where I can upload it so that it is accessible to the community?

P.S.

I'm getting no response from staff@contribs.org

From its server-manager configuration panel...

Change LDAP contacts settings and/or update contacts

   The LDAP server provides a network-available listing of the user accounts and groups on your server, and additionally, contacts; all comprising a 'global address list' which can be accessed using an LDAP client such as the Address Book in Netscape Communicator, and also accessed via the Webmail Address Book of your server. Configure your LDAP client with the local IP address of your server, port number 389, and the server root parameter as follows:____dc=yourdomain,dc=com ____  Enable or disable the LDAP Contacts service.
 
Status   DisabledEnabled

Specify the location of a tab delimited text file containing contacts (Unix or DOS formatted). The first row is treated as column headings and must not contain a contact record. A contact record will be skipped if the Email Address field is empty or badly formatted. The 'global address list' is updated with contacts from this file immediately upon clicking the [Update] button and hourly thereafter if the file has changed.
 
Fully qualified filename  

Specify which columns contain the following four (4) required fields. The first column is column 1, the second is column 2, the third is column 3, etc. As an example, the columns numbers for the required fields as exported from ...cough... Outlook 2000 are 2, 4, 6 and 57.

Hi Hassan

I have installed the contrib on SME 6.01-01.

The CONTACTS link appears on the Server Manager Configuration, but all that comes up on the page is the information as to what it is and the config info for the LDAP client.

Should I be seeing anything else - such as enable/disable selector etc?

Many thanks for your contribution. It seems to do exactly as described and it is THAT feature that many SME server users were looking for when I read through the forums.

I am surprised that there has not been more feedback yet.

Thanks again,

OK, disregard my stupid question. I simply downloaded all your files from the links in your how-to and tried to install them. Since you have both versions 0.1 and 0.2 stored there, the install complained. It's almost 2:00 AM and I really should be sleeping by now...

Anyways, maybe you better remove the old versions from your how to.

I have just put this contrib on a test server and it looks good, it's what everybody has been asking for. Are these still beta rpms or have you fully developed them ie are they ready for a production environment ?

You're welcome, I'm glad you like it. I know I looked a long time for a Global Directory that was accessible from desktop mail clients and webmail before I put this together.

The answer to your question is YES and NO.

I know that the contrib has been running on 3 production servers for more than a month, so yes I consider the rpms 'safe'.

No, its not yet released as non-beta. There are some packaging issues I'd like to resolve before the next release.

I'm hoping to get some community feedback via this discussion topic on devinfo...

hmuhammad,

Please don't take this the wrong way, I just need a little better understanding.

I'm a little confused about this. I am using evolution as my mail client and I can connect to the local ldap address book as well as the global address book. Other than the updates every hour when changes are made to the Global_Contacts file what is it offering? Am I missing something or do other mail clients like lookout and lookout express not able to connect to the Local Addressbook?

And as long as were talking about LDAP, does anybody know how to create a frikkin group that everyone can use in the local addressbook? Am I missing the obvious, which is usually the case, or is there some deep magic that I don't know about?

Thanks for any clarification,

Jon

Jon,

The stock version of the SME Server does not include a  
global address book; which global address book are you accessing via evolution?

Hi Hasan,

Now I am completely confused. :)

What is the reason for your contrib? I can connect to the ldap addressbook using outlook 2000, what would I use your contrib for?

This isn't meant to sound harsh, I'm just really confused now because I was under the impression that I couldn't connect to the stock e-smith local ldap DB. What am I missing?

I can connect to both your contrib and to the stock e-smith ldap addressbook with outlook and evolution. I have to be missing something here otherwise you wouldn't have put the effort forth for this contrib.

Sorry for being such an idiot but I have completely confused myself.

Jon,

The stock SME Server has a LDAP directory and it includes an entry for every user created on that server; it serves as the Company Directory--it only has local addresses (people@yourdomain.com).

The smeserver-ldap-contacts contrib allows the LDAP directory to be expanded to include addresses for external people (customers, partners, vendors, etc.); hence, the term Global Directory.

For this contrib, the global directory is populated via a tab-delimited-file which can be created any number of ways. Its location and structure is specified via the 'Configuration/Contacts' panel. Once enabled, that file is check hourly for changes which are used to update the LDAP directory which can be accessed via mail clients and webmail.

Good explanation, Jon should "get it" now.

Jon did raise a good question though, is it possible to set up groups in the local and global LDAP address books ?

It would be good for the local address book to support sme Groups and Pseudonyms as well as user accounts.
It would be good for the Global address book to support Groups (of listed email addresses) and folders (containing similar types of addresses ie tech support etc), somewhat similar to Windows Address Book etc.

Please do include these ideas for future development.

Jon,

I'm just learning LDAP so the following 'diagnosis' is little more than an educated guess.

The LDAP filter probably can only answer certain 'canned' queries having pre-specified query structure; probably specified in ...

/etc/openldap/ldapfilter.conf
/etc/openldap/ldapsearchprefs.conf

Possible the querying being sent is too 'free form'.

My limited experience with building searches is from Outlook and Outlook Express;
which seem to only allow the types of queries specified
in the above 2 configuration files.

However, if the exact same query that's failing using 'global' is working using 'local', then I have no clue (for now).

LDAP contacts on e-smith 6
« Reply #25 on: April 24, 2006, 05:27:47 PM »
Hi All
i'm trying to install LDAP contacts following the Installation instructions at http://no.longer.valid/phpwiki/index.php/LDAP%20contacts and release notes at http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs//hmuhammad/

The package that I'd like to install on my e-smith 6.0 non-Mitel supported server are:

    e-smith-ldap-4.10.0-04.noarch.rpm
    smeserver-ldap-contacts-0.3.1-01hm.noarch.rpm

But smeserver-ldap-contacts-0.3.1-01hm.noarch.rpm ask me to respect the following dependency:

error: failed dependencies:
        e-smith-turba >= 1.4.0-01 is needed by smeserver-ldap-contacts-0.3.1-01hm

So I installed e-smith-turba-1.4.0-01.src.rpm and I restarted the LDAP contacts installation, but the dependecies error happens one more time.

Where I'm wrong?

Thanks in advance.

PS
Installation via lynx -dump http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/hmuhammad/smeserver-ldap-contacts-0.3.1-01hm.install.sh | sh
does't work.

thanks hmuhammad in relation of your answer on the 24 Apr 2006.
With your instruction I installed Ldap Contacts.

Now I couldn't access the example file neither with Outlook or Thunderbird also if I had tryed every config suggested in http://server00/server-manager in Contacts page:

"Change LDAP contacts settings and/or update contacts
   The LDAP server provides a network-available listing of the user accounts and groups on your server (Local Directory), and additionally, other contacts (Global Directory); these directories can be accessed using an LDAP client such as the Address Book in Netscape Communicator, and also accessed via the Webmail Address Book of your server. Configure your LDAP client to access these directories with the domain (host) name or IP address of your server, port number 389, and the server search base parameter as follows:
Local Directory  : dc=local,dc=geam ,dc=

Global Directory: dc=global,dc=geam ,dc=

Both Directories: dc=geam ,dc=  Enable or disable the LDAP Contacts service.
 
Status   Enabled
Specify the location of a tab delimited text file containing contacts (Unix or DOS formatted). The first row is treated as column headings and must not contain a contact record. A contact record will be skipped if the Email Address field is empty or badly formatted. The 'Global Directory' is updated with contacts from this file immediately upon clicking the [Update] button (below) and hourly thereafter if the file has changed.
 
Fully qualified filename  
Specify which columns contain the following four (4) required fields. The first column is column 1, the second is column 2, the third is column 3, etc. As an example, the columns numbers for the required fields as exported from ...cough... Outlook 2000 are 2, 4, 6 and 57.
 
First Name   2
Last Name   4
Organization or Company 6  
Email Address   5"

A strange things that I notied is the http://server00/server-manager in Directory page is that "root parameter shown below" are blank:

"Change LDAP directory settings
   The LDAP server provides a network-available listing of the user accounts and groups on your server, and can be accessed using an LDAP client such as the Address Book feature in Netscape Communicator. Configure your LDAP client with the local IP address of your server, port number 389, and the server root parameter shown below.
 
You can control access to your LDAP directory: the private setting allows access only from your local network, and the public setting allows access from anywhere on the Internet.
 
LDAP directory access   Allow access only from local networks

These fields are the LDAP defaults for your organization. Whenever you create a new user account, you will be prompted to enter all of these fields (they can be different for each user) but the values you set here will show up as defaults. This is a convenience to make it faster to create user accounts.
 
Default department   xxx
Default company   xxx
Default Street address   xxx
Default City   xxx
Default Phone Number   xxx
You can either leave existing user accounts as they are, using the above defaults only for new users, or you can apply the above defaults to all existing users as well.
 
Existing users   Leave as they are"

Could you help me one more time?

Thanks in advance

Just found thisd thread and trying tio install via the install script.  I have dowlonaded the rpms to a folder on my server and I have noticed that I now need to edit the install script.  Could anyone post a copy of the script up, as I am a novice linux user and I would really appricate the help.  I have downloaded the files into a folder named downloads in the root of my server.  

Cheers Matt
