Module contacts_ldap

source code

Synchronize with a LDAP

It is assumed, that you are using the "mozillaAbPersonAlpha" schema for your LDAP. Otherwise, the mapping wouldn't work as the attributes are required.

The LDAP Python site package python-ldap (http://python-ldap.sourceforge.net/) is required for this module. Before installing the site package, the LDAP libraries (http://www.openldap.org/) must be available on the machine. I couldn't find any pre-compiled package of either of the two - so I had to compile and install everything myself (what a mess). I found the following sources helpful:

• http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Toolchain
• http://www.open-moko.de/die-software-anwendungen-f6/libsdl-und-crosscompiler-t25.html (in German)

Hopefully, in near future an LDAP as well as a Python-LDAP ipkg will be available.

Special characters (such as umlauts) seem to result in an error being thrown. This is due to some unicode encoding problem. ToDo: Resolv this issue!

Please note, that currently, only read access to LDAP is implemented.
