use ebox database for other applications
« on: January 21, 2008, 07:48:01 pm »
Hello all,

I could use some help, i need to use the user and group function for more applications like an ftp-server.
I don't know how to open the database in ebox, or what kind of database it is.

Do you guys have tips for me? I would like all the information i can get as i am a Linux novice.

Please help me with this.

Sander

hello sandermans,
  users and groups are stored in a LDAP database. You must consult the docuemntation of your ftp-server to see how to hook it to the LDAP database; the database's schema is very common so if your FTP supports LDAP you shouldn't have any futher problems.
One last thing, the LDAP password is stored at /var/lib/ebox/conf/ebox-ldap.passwd
