Guest repliedThe bugzilla entry for OX: CH (Codename: Hyperion, I get tired typing it ;-] ) is the first one in bugzilla (Open-Xchange-Server), also at the end of this page you can find a neat-o bugreporting template:
I'd suggest you open an enhancement for the server and describe what you want to do, even before starting, just to make sure everyone notices it.

Guest repliedLDAP Impl
Which priority has this for the developer?
If its not the highest I'd like to do some work on this.
I have looked through the abstract classes LoginInfo, UserStorage ... etc. And i see some things already there for LDAP.
As i understood it's a really great design. User information an ox related informations can be separated
I have two questions on this:
1.) Can i start with the "old" ox5 schema or will the new one totally different?
2.) If ... ... if i get through this, where to post a patch? I can't find a product or version for Hyperion in Bugzilla.
But if it's there, please lead me to it. I can't see it
Any comments, hints are very welcome!

Guest repliedAlso, if you're well into java, you can use our authentication abstraction. You can pretty much plug in any authentication you like, but the users must still exist in both places (unless you want to plug around a lot more, also possible, but major surgery).

Perhaps you could finde your own way to connect ldap with mysql and contribute your solution

Guest repliedSame problem here.
We actually setup an Samba PDC with LDAP for Central User Authentification based on the OX 0.8.2 LDAP tree.
So OX6 Looks really nice, but without LDAP Support we couldn't upgrade or Migrate to OX6. So Please build in the LDAP support ASAP.

Originally posted by Rene Stach View PostYes, and many large companies have modelled their structure and saved their employees' data in directories like LDAP. So, this will be available some day but Hyperion is not that far yet.

What is the status of OX6 and Ldap

Guest repliedOriginally posted by neo View PostYes, you're right but with LDAP you have some benefits like a hierarchy concept of user permissions which is easy to setup.

Guest repliedI never liked the situation to have two different databases to store these informations. So these are greate news to me, that i do not have to deal with redundent data any more. It should all be done in one place.

As René wrote - for the moment no LDAP is supported, but this will change in the future. Keep in mind that the current release of Hyperion is not a "concreted" release. The CVS will be updated regularly.

Guest repliedok.
good to know.
In our case we wanted to migrate all the config stuff to LDAP because of OX User authentication. But now we have to investigate again all that.

Guest repliedThere is no LDAP in Hyperion. At the moment all user data is stored in the database. This does not mean that this will always be the case but at the moment it is.

LDAP not necessary
Hello,
what happened to the LDAP authentication in OX?
Can you explain why it has changed to something else?
Well, at the moment I'm preparing a little VM to play a bit with Hyperion ;-)
