History of UsingLDAP

----

With FreeBSD, SquirrelMail 1.4.5, OpenLDAP 2.2.27, getting this to work required:

* apt-get install php4-ldap

* Adding an LDAP server via the SquirrelMail conf.pl script (don't look for this in the web interface).

* Enabling the ldapquery plugin (also with conf.pl of course).

* At this point, I was getting include errors about not being able to find validate.php in the src/ directory. Sure enough, in my version of SquirrelMail (1.4.5), validate.php is in the include/ directory. Therefore, you'll need to edit the plugins/ldapquery/ldapquery.php file to adjust for the different path.

Once all these were done it finally worked.

I noticed I had to patch both /ldapquery/ldapquery.php and /ldapquery/options.php to include this line:

<code>

define('SM_PATH', '../');

Using: Windows 2000 / PHP 4.3.4 / SquirrelMail 1.4.3a / ldapquery 1.6-1.2.5

I also had to add the following lines to ldapquery.php:

<code>

sqgetGlobalVar('ldq_querystr', $ldq_querystr);

sqgetGlobalVar('ldq_searchfor', $ldq_searchfor);

sqgetGlobalVar('ldq_searchby', $ldq_searchby);

sqgetGlobalVar('ldq_sortby', $ldq_sortby);

sqgetGlobalVar('ldq_comparetype', $ldq_comparetype);
