Plugins - Dereference ldap aliases
Category: Addressbook

Squirrelmail's address book doesn't dereference ldap aliases. So if you build a subtree on your ldap directory containing pointers/aliases to everyone who's supposed to be in the address book, squirrelmail won't see any of the entries. The patch to fix this is very simple:

edit functions/abook_ldap_server.php

find "0, $this->maxrows, $this->timeout"

right after "$this->timeout" add ", LDAP_DEREF_ALWAYS"
(note the comma and space before LDAP_DEREF_ALWAYS)

If you don't want to manually make this change, you can download the file and pull the modified abook_ldap_server.php from there instead.

If you have problems with the download or decompressing...

Internet Explorer: Right-click on the file, then select "Save Target As"
Firefox, Mozilla, Netscape: Right-click on the file, then select "Save Link As"
Opera: Right-click on the file, then select "Save Link Document As"
Lynx and Links: Press "d" on the link to download the file directly.

Untarring problems: Your browser might have un-gzipped it for you automatically. Try just "tar xvf" instead of "tar xvfz". Also, the plugins archive isn't gzipped (it is a tarball of .tar.gz files)
Macintosh users: Just hold down your mouse button to get the menu instead of right-clicking.
