Ebox Mail on different servers
« on: July 22, 2008, 10:02:48 pm »
Hi, folks. First, thanks for all the awesome work seen on the features of this software.

I have installed ebox as PDC, but would like to install ebox mail on a secondary server.  How could I configure the mail server to get the users and groups information from the primary LDAP? In this case, I assume that the ebox-mail module would have to be enabled on both servers?  Are there any suggestions for this scenario?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.  Thanks a lot!

Hello,
 you need to modify some configuration files, take in account that we will not provide this feature ourselves so you may have to do some extra work with futures releases of the mail module.
Also I haven't tried the setup myself so I only can give you some pointers.

You will have to modify at least the templates files and /usr/share/ebox/mail/main.cf.mas /usr/share/ebox/mail/authlaprc.mas .
In those files you will have to change all references to the LDAP url (in main.cf.mas this data is contained by the variable $ldapi).

You must allow the necessary connections  in the firewall.

Surely I am missing something but this is a good path to start...

After the changes are done you must restart the mail system to be sure that the files are overwritten with the new templates
Code: [Select]
/etc/init.d/ebox mail restart
