I managed to migrate 5 branches of decentralized Novell Groupwise servers to a single Zimbra 8.0.3 server. All good.
Next deliverable is to replace Novell Netware 7 with Zentyal 3.0.21 and use Zimbra ldap credentials for users to log on with on Zentyal. How can I do this? Is this possible. Remember I just want to authenticate so no need to involve the entire ldap schema from Zimbra.
Final step is to automatically create a Windows 7 network drive mapped to Zimbra Briefcase using webdav as soon as the user logs in to Zentyal - (I can successfully map a drive to a user's Zimbra Briefcase on a Windows 7 machine by using NetDrive).
I hope I am making sense, if not, please indicate for clarity.
in short:
1. User logs on to Zentyal domain
2. Zentyal authenticates against Zimbra ldap (maybe using ldap replication through polling?)
3. Zentyal create a map to
http://zimbraserver/dav/user@domain.com/Briefcase and presents this as a drive for the user.
This is only high-level at the moment, im merely thinking aloud, looking for more info to help me think in the right direction..if its all possible.
Thanks in anticipation
