I'm really wondering why I persist with Zentyal. Why can they not give us the documentation that will let us use Zentyal as an LDAP server to authenticate clients without having to jump through all these hoops. Earlier versions gave us a read only user in the admin panel and let us set up clients with ease. Now you have to dig into the guts of it just to find the dn of a user to use to log into LDAP.
If all Zentyal is going to do is provide the same functionality as a windows server (including the fucked up upgrades), I might as well just use windows. At least Microsoft give you documentation, and they support third party applications on the servers. Zentyal seem to be trying to stop anyone doing anything other than file sharing and Outlook.
