I guess my question is how to map iredmail to ldap structure? I want use inetorgperson object

I recommend you try to explore iRedMail OpenLDAP schema, then you will find answers.

iRedMail will use 4 objectclasses for mail user:

objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: shadowAccount
objectClass: amavisAccount
objectClass: mailUser

where is iRedMail schema? it is easy to add a user using .ldif file? I'm just confused, I don't know what the fields are because can't see schema or add tutorial im sort of new to linux

I need to add user to ldap, that will also have all credentials (name, address, etc) and CAN use mail and all other logins. Also need to store SSHA1 password but not sure how. Im sending you a 5 dollar donation for your current help and support and there will be more to come. Can you instruct me how to do this here or by PM? I come to help here because it now seeems I will base my open source development environment around iRedMail server. It installs apache2 as well right?

in LDAP manager, there is no way to add attributes. I can't even find the objectClass variable. How do I edit a user's objectClass variables with phpmyldap

Alright, I am getting it now.

The way iRedMail manages domains is a bit strange - a little different from how I would do it without iRedMail.

Do I place all of my users under ou=Users, which is under my "main" domain, which is under o=Domains?

In normal environment, I create:
dc=localhost
--o=Example Inc.
----ou=People
------user
------user
------user

etc.

With iRedMail, I have

   
   
+--> dc=localhost (4)
---> cn=vmail
---> cn=vmailadmin
+--> o=domainAdmins (1)
| ---> mail=postmaster@mydomain.com
+--> o=domains (1)
| +--> domainName=mydomain.com (4)
| | ---> ou=Aliases
| | ---> ou=Externals
| | ---> ou=Groups
| | +--> ou=Users (2)
| | | ---> mail=neacys@mydomain.com
| | | ---> mail=www@mydomain.com

if mydomain.com is the only mail domain I will host on my server, then I can create all of my other users (which will use other services than iRedMail - jira, confluence, etc), then I can just add all of my users in ou=Users?

If I am to use LDAP for ALL accounts including iRedMail, users must use "mail" as prefix instead of UID or username?

Instead, could work if it was uid=neacys (instead of mail=neacys@mydomain.com)? neacys will be username for all services in network (neacys@mydomain.com) is only login for mail. For all other, just "neacys".

Also,

| | ---> ou=Aliases
| | ---> ou=Externals
| | ---> ou=Groups

I can erase these? Or needed for iRedMail?

EDIT: Is it correct to say that iRedMail auths(binds) via "email"?

What is "Aliases" ou?

And externals

EDIT: Last question. This is very important.

I want e-mail address to be "shawn.neacy@mydomain.com" I want neacys to be UID, and use to log on to other web applications on the network. Is it possible to re-create "neacys@mydomain.com" to match the above "shawn.neacy@mydomain.com", but still add 'neacys' to uid, so that for other LDAP enabled services, I can use that as the login name?

And is up to other applications, I just specify "uid" is name to use for binds (logins), and I can pick which ldap data field I want to use for username? That allows roundcube logins at "shawn.neacy@mydomain.com" and then for other app, lets say confluence.mydomain.com, I can use neacys and the same password too?

Sorry for my questions, I send another donation very soon for your time and effort. Thank you.
