[horde] Integrating Horde with LDAP, getting there . . .

[Spyros Tsiolis]

Hello again people,

Well, I managed to make Horde play with LDAP.
Created an LDAP schema and after some bug (mainly
syntax) chasing, I managed to get LDAP contacts
on Horde.

However, I have a problem. Here is the error
message :

<BEGIN

There was an error adding the new contact. Contact your system administrator for further help.
END>

Here's the /etc/openldap/slapd.conf file :

<BEGIN
#
# See slapd.conf(5) for details on configuration options.
# This file should NOT be world readable.
#

#
# Global Section
#

include         /etc/openldap/schema/core.schema
include         /etc/openldap/schema/cosine.schema
include         /etc/openldap/schema/inetorgperson.schema
# include               /etc/openldap/schema/nis.schema

#
# Added logging parameters

# Sample access control policy:
#       Root DSE: allow anyone to read it
#       Subschema (sub)entry DSE: allow anyone to read it
#       Other DSEs:
#               Allow self write access
#               Allow authenticated users read access
#               Allow anonymous users to authenticate
#       Directives needed to implement policy:
# access to dn.base="" by * read
# access to dn.base="cn=Subschema" by * read
# access to *
#       by self write
#       by users read
#       by anonymous auth
#
# if no access controls are present, the default policy
# allows anyone and everyone to read anything but restricts
# updates to rootdn.  (e.g., "access to * by * read")
#
# rootdn can always read and write EVERYTHING!

I don't enclose the /var/www/horde/turba/conf/sources.php file ,
but I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
