Hello@all!!
First: My english is very bad :( (my mother tongue is german ... i never learned english). Sorry for the broken english text.
I manage my Users in a LDAP Tree. The User have a unique ID and several email-addresses. My User can authenticate on IMAP via UID or all email-adresses.
I have roundcube modify to query login-user in a LDAP Tree and read the Identities (email-addresses) from LDAP Entry.
This patch based on SVN Snapshot 651 from 2007/07/03.
My Patch in detail:
- query login information:
roundcube create a mysql entry based on login-name. My Patch make a query the configured LDAP Server with this login-name and read the uid and change the roundcube username to this uid. Then create roundcube the mysql Entry.
- identities:
roundcube create by first login a identity entry in the Database. With the Patch not any more. By compose the eMail read the Patch all email-addresses from the LDAP entry and mixed with possible identities from the SQL-Database.
At listing of identities the Patch presents a mix of LDAP email-addresses and the configured identities. The User can setting a Name, Organization etc. to all LDAP email-addresses. The information saved into the SQL-Database.
- password change:
have the user writable acces to the password field in the ldap tree, then the user can change the password with this patch. I have modified the Patch from this topic: http://roundcubeforum.net/forum/index.php?topic=42.0 (http://roundcubeforum.net/forum/index.php?topic=42.0)
by the way: i am a hobby coder ... not a profi.
The Patch can download here: http://download.schmidtie.de/roundcube/roundcube_ldap_1.0.diff (http://download.schmidtie.de/roundcube/roundcube_ldap_1.0.diff)
In the config/main.inc.php must set the follow entry:
$rcmail_config['ldap_user'] = array(
'hosts' => array('<ldapserver>'),
'port' => 389, // optional ... default: 389
'protocol' => 3, // optional ... (i have patched a bugfix? in rcube_ldap.inc row 88)
'base_dn' => '<basedn>',
'bind_dn' => '<binddn>', // optional
'bind_pass' => '<bindpwd>', // optional
'userid_field' => '<fieldname of uid>', // must!
'email_field' => '<fieldname with mail-addresses>', // must!
'pwd_fields' => array(
'<fieldname of password>' => '<encryption method>'); // must ... one entry or a array with more as one password fields (my user-entry have a encypted and a clear password field)
'scope' => 'sub', // search mode: sub|base|list
'filter' => '<ldap filter string>', // the var '%u' changed to the username
'fuzzy_search' => true); // for the original ldap class from roundcube :)
encryption methods: (dependent from PHP config)
- crypt
- ext_des
- md5_crypt
- blowfish
- md5
- sha
- ssha
- smd5
OK, thats all. I hope my text is a bit understandable :)

Thanks I am shear this will come in handy for people will similar problems. ;)

I was searching for a plugin that does just this, only we use Active Directory at my work, and I didn't manage to get it working, which is weird since the address book does work, I just get a white page when I go to roundcube. I'll try patching RC1 later (using SVN version now).
I sincerely hope this feature will be added to roundcube natively.

Darkside:
Thanks for the patch! I had a lot of problems getting it to work out of the gate, so I took some time and cleaned it up. To be honest, Darkside's patch shouldn't work at all as it's missing the random_salt() method from phpLDAPAdmin, so I added that. ;)
This patch works with 1.0-rc1. Just follow the steps from Darkside about putting information in the config/main.inc.php, and you'll be good to go. If you have problems, just change the $rcmail_config['debug_level'] to 4 and give it a whirl (I had a typo in my LDAP username >:( )
Anyways, enjoy and let me know if there are any problems with it!
