LDAP usages
Greetings List,
I am investigating the possiblilty of using LDAP to control our mail
severs. However, I know *nothing* about LDAP. I am completely ignorant
to its capabilities, functions, purposes, controls, and configurations.
Before I get to invloved with this project (only to find out it is not
doing what I want). I would like share with what I am wanting to do and
hopefully you can give me some feed back on what I need to do, as well
as some helpful documentation. I have the manual from the website.
We have three mail servers.
1 public - used for general mail accounts under our domain
1 semi-public - used for clients with email under their own domain.
This server hosts a number of virtual mail accounts. So the editing of
"/etc/virtualusers" and "/etc/genericstable" and "/etc/generics-domain"
(and others) would need to be edited when a virtual mailuser is added.
1 noraml mail server for a business, which co-lcates the sever here,
but we maintain and admin the server.
Will LDAP allow me to control these accounts? I am mainly concerned
about the second (semi-public) server. It has allotof moving parts to
be edited for a virtual mail user to function properly, as well as
adding a domain.
Dose LDAP have to be loaded on the same server, or can it be else where
on the network. I mainly need LDAP for a more standardizes approach for
admin:ing mail accounts and domains.
thanks in advance :-)
