Hello Martin,<br>
<br>
The email deployment it is a groupware in this scenario Kolab, kolab use<br>
389 ad as main backend and it require some kolab ldap specific attribute to<br>
work properly, this is not a problem in fact is quite easy to use freeipa<br>
as kolab backend, so far so good but the romance only get this far. Since<br>
we also use Windows Ad with forest-trust not all user are present in the<br>
FreeIPA directory and there it is where my problem lays. Since not all user<br>
are in the same box it become difficult to implement one mail system for<br>
all users. Regards<br>

As I said, we have compat tree that allows LDAP BIND authentication and LDAP<br>
identity (not enumeration) for both IPA users and AD users when realm is in<br>
place.<br>
<br>
You can even update the configuration of the compat tree and add the kolab<br>
specific fields to be generated there too. There was very similar request on<br>
freeipa-users. It was for vSphere, but dealing with very similar use case and<br>
the final solution:<br>
<br>
<a href="http://www.freeipa.org/page/HowTo/vsphere5_integration" target="_blank">http://www.freeipa.org/page/HowTo/vsphere5_integration</a><br>
<br>
Would that approach work for you?<br>
</blockquote>
I don't think it will work. compat tree is run-time read-only view of<br>
the data coming from somewhere else. You need to have Kolab-specific<br>
data available somewhere to be able to inject it in the compat tree.<br>
Where would that data be stored for Kolab for AD-specific entries?<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
It would work as long as the attributes are in the "real" user entries in form<br>
of custom attributes and compat plugin can be updated to add those to compat view.<br>

What real user entries you are talking about for AD users?<span class=""><br>

Additionally, Kolab wants to modify these custom attributes and compat<br>
tree simply does not support modification, they all are refused.<br>
</blockquote>
<br>
If Kolab requires modifications, then this approach would not work with current<br>
FreeIPA implementation, yes.<br>
</blockquote></span>
No, we are not going into enabling modifications over compat tree, this<br>
is simply impossible to achieve, sorry.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br>
