Hi Zhang,

I know that when I use iredadmin to create users, the user's are contained under the "Users" OU in LDAP. Would it be possible to add another OU under Users like for example the department then I can move the users to their respective department? just to make the ldap tree organized.

Re: iRedmail and its openLDAP

Why not try this way to organize department:

- Add new ou to contains all your departments. e.g. ou=Departments,domainName=abc.com,o=domains,dc=xx,dc=xx.
- Add new department under ou=Departments. For example, "uid=sales,ou=Departments,domainName=abc.com,..." with attribute/value pair 'cn=Sales'.
- Add attribute/value pair for user: department=sales (use uid as unique identity).
