[hermes] how to enable clients

[Jens A. Tkotz]

Hello,

the idea is nice.
Tough i didnt understand exactly what to do, but i figured it.

What i did is to create a new table in my horde database with a 
structure similar to table turba_objects.
Then i added a new entry in turba/config/sources.php

$cfgSources['hermes_clients'] = array ( ...... )
then i added this 'hermes_clients' in the turba config.

After this step i can access clients again in hermes.


regards,

Jens
