External LDAP and Groups

[Wolfgang Rosenauer]

A "goup" in OX is not at the same time automatically a mail distribution list. It's just a logical group of users which are available for groupware objects and ACLs.
So if you want to reflect your groups also as mail distribution lists you probably need to create a public addressbook containing the email addresses of the groups for autocompletion.

Hello,

another topic with external LDAP (or maybe general) I'm facing is with 'Groups', I've groups at LDAP by
ou=Groups,o=domain1.tld,o=isp
< - - and so on for several domains - - >

I use 'oxldapsync.pl' to sync ldap data and I also see users and groups become created.

BTW to get the 'groups' synced I've to hack the 'ldap.pm' source, otherwise the 'groups' become not created.
Found this at: https://forum.open-xchange.com/archi...hp/t-3937.html

So far so good... but

- The groups are not part of Global Address Book
- The groups not become auto complete at Mail Compose

Looks like groups only show up at Calendar Invitations.

Is there anything I've to switch on/configure here to get the groups also displayed at Global Address Book/Mail?

Usually we use groups at LDAP for different company divisions (Marketing/Engineering/Development/etc...) to
reach out the division by just mail to the group email address.



Thanks!
Andreas
