Hi guys, I installed OpenXchange5 (oxinstall-2.4.3.RHEL.bin) on my Red
Hat server (RHEL4 update2)
The whole OpenXchange system is working fine but I want (have) to use an
external LDAP-Server which is running on da Debian-Etch.

Here is some information about my ldap-versions:

RHEL4:  slapd version 2.2.13
Debian: slapd version 2.3.30

Because of the different versions I migrated the root-dn from my
OX5-machine to the Debian-machine by using slapcat and slapadd:

- RHEL: slapcat -l /var/oxtree.ldif
- Copied oxtree.ldif: RHEL -> Debian
- Adopted the ldap.conf, slapd.conf and the schemas from RHEL to Debian
- Deleted the the standard Debian root-dn
- Debian: sladadd -l /oxtree.ldif

The whole root-dn is copied completely to the debian-machine. There were
no errors at all. As far as i know that should be everything I need to
get it work with the debian machine.

Now I tried to change the configuration on my OpenXchange server to get
it work with the external LDAP on the debian machine.

Thats what I have done so far: (10.3.5.195 is the ip address of the
debian system)

EDITED:
/etc/openldap/ldap.conf
=======================
#changed:
host 127.0.0.1
#to:
host 10.3.5.195

EDITED:
/opt/openexchange/ox_admin_tools/openexchange-daemons/modules/Ldap.properties
=============================================================================
#changed:
LDAP_URI=ldap://127.0.0.1:389
#to
LDAP_URI=ldap://10.3.5.195:389

At the end I stopped the local slapd on the RHEL-machine.

Unfortunately its not working yet.

The groupware-login kind of works. I can login with some user-accounts
but its not working 100%. e.g. the webmail-program isnt working. When I
try to change to it, it says: WebMail - OPEN-XCHANGE 5607
!!! SYSTEM - ERROR !!!

The admin-login (mailadmin) isnt working either. I cant login at all.
When I try to login with my admin user (mailadmin), the login website
says Username/Password wrong.

I examined all configuration files in "/opt/openxchange" but I cant find
anything else, that I should/could change according to ldap.

I hope someone can help me out.

Cheers, Artur
