Roundcube and ldap (read/write)

[Matt2cv]

Hello,

I currently use version roundcube 0.4 and openldap on the same machine.
For now, I can connect to my directory in using roundcube, but I can not change or add contact with roundcube.
Is it possible for roundcube? Is somebody has already managed to do it?

Thank you for your help.

Matt

I have the same setup. Does the user with which you connect to the LDAP have enough rights to update the information?

[Matt2cv]

I use the admin user. With phpldapadmin, I can create, update or remove any user. But with roundcube, I can't.

Enable debug logging and check the logfiles for errors:

In the main.inc.php change the following value:

$rcmail_config['debug_level'] = 1;
to
$rcmail_config['debug_level'] = 8;

In the ldap's file, the message is "[16-Dec-2010 17:40:20 +0100]: C: Read [dn: ..." when I try to modify a contact and a message appears in roundcube like "Source in read only".

There is an option in the ldap config in the main.inc.php to enable writing:

set
  'writable'      => false,
// Indicates if we can write to the LDAP
// If writable is true then these fields need to be populated:
// LDAP_Object_Classes, required_fields, LDAP_rdn
to
  'writable'      => true,
// Indicates if we can write to the LDAP
// If writable is true then these fields need to be populated:
// LDAP_Object_Classes, required_fields, LDAP_rdn

  'user_specific'   => true,
This uses user specific authentication. Set this to:

  'user_specific'   => false,
And the user specified in the config will be used.

hello Matt2cv,

we also use openldap and like to disallow changes in LDAP so I do not need to configure write access. how is your ldap config look like ? I would like to get user display name from LDAP server instead of username. could you please through me some hints ?

Have you tried this:

'name_field'      => 'displayName',

[madal]

Thanks,

is not these setting are for address book ? or this will also apply for user identities ?

AFAIK, user identities are stored in the RoundCube-database.

However, you could try this plugin.
