Zimbra integration

[fakegod]

Hello! I have such an proposal, we are using Zimbra mail server, there are such things as domain linked to another(for example test.com linked to test.eu), that means that user automatically have [e-mail] and [e-mail] addresses. Also users have few aliases, so multiple addresses(for example [e-mail] and [e-mail]). For now as I see piler needs all the addresses to be manually input in user profile. Would be nice if piler could get all the addresses directly from zimbra, maybe by means of zimlet(Zimbra server plugin system), in this case probably you could go even further - integrate piler access into zimbra.

I believe that piler can extract all the email addresses, so no need for any manual typing. Please show me the following variables from config-site.php:

LDAP_HELPER_DN LDAP_ACCOUNT_OBJECTCLASS LDAP_DISTRIBUTIONLIST_OBJECTCLASS LDAP_DISTRIBUTIONLIST_ATTR

If these are set properly and still can't see all emails for a user, then please send me to an ldap entry of this user with all relevant fields figuring out what ldap field I should look for when querying the addresses.

In my case Zimbra uses External Active Directory, AD probably cannot deliver all the email addresses(only few it has in user account settings).

[Janos SUTO]

OK, then tell me how things are connected, and how can I extract all email attributes?

[fakegod]

Only way I found is running following commands in console on Zimbra server:

zmprov -l gaa -v test.com | grep -A 10 user1 | grep mail: | sed 's/mail: //g'

Output will be all user available identities.

[fakegod]

But still it does not list mail addresses in linked domain. Is there any way in piler to map one domain to another? For example: test.com linked to test.eu, so search for [e-mail] also shows [e-mail].

[Janos SUTO]

Unfortunately the gui can't execute the zmprov command to get the email addresses. OK, technically it's possible to run that command, but I don't think it's a clean solution. We have to find the place where all your emails are stored.

Such a linking you mentioned is not supported, but I believe it's not necessary since email addresses, aliases, and distribution lists must be altogether somewhere. It's such an unusual setup to have half emails in zimbra and the rest in AD.

I try to setup zimbra, and AD together. Give me a day or so to play with it.

[Janos SUTO]

Btw. is this the commercial version of zimbra or the free edition?

[fakegod]

Free edition, zimbra knows about all mail addresses, that domain linking in our case screws situation a bit. AD does authentication, and can store one e-mail in profile.

Hi

Though the integration is with AD, Zimbra still has got its own ldap. We need to find how the linking is done. Have you succeeded in this.

Well, I didn't have the chance to experiment with such a layout, so the answer is "not yet".

[Janos SUTO]

Unfortunately I don't have access to such a setup, so I'm not sure how to experiment with it.
