Hi,

I would like to seek your guidance on how to implement or migrate my global address book from iredmail/roundcube to outlook. I have implemented the globaladdressbook on roundcube and it works fine. However, for users who are accessing the server through outlook as preference as not able to view the global address book from roundcube.

I've read that LDAP can be configured but I couldn't find a decent guide for the implementation. Can I still implement LDAP even if I've chosen MySQL during the installation of iRedmail?

Thank you very much.

Best Regards,
Allan

Re: Global Address Book Configuration towards Outlook

Several possible solutions:

1) If your Outlook support CardDAV service, the easiest solution might be setting up SOGo groupware to offer CardDAV service as address book.

2) If Outlook doesn't support CardDAV:

2.1) Install OpenLDAP on your server, then write some script to sync mail accounts from MySQL to OpenLDAP, then setup Outlook to use OpenLDAP as global LDAP address book.

2.2) Setup a new iRedMail server with OpenLDAP backend, migrate current server to this new server.

Hi Zhang,

I believe we have installed SOGo groupware when we installed iRedmail. I am checking right now because we haven't used it. Shall I just add email addresses of users inside this one? Shall this co-exist with the global address book from roundcube or I need to disable global address book from roundcube?

Thank you so much.

Best Regards,
Allan

Re: Global Address Book Configuration towards Outlook

If you have SOGo installed, then try to add CardDAV service in Outlook. CalDAV and CardDAV server addresses:

https://<server>/SOGo/dav/<full email address>

Re: Global Address Book Configuration towards Outlook

Does your Outlook support CardDAV?

Re: Global Address Book Configuration towards Outlook

Hi Zhang,

We have already integrated iRedmail last year with Outlook 2013. But I am not yet familiar on how to enable CardDAV/CalDAV. Please bear with me.

Thank you very much for the reference guide.

Re: Global Address Book Configuration towards Outlook

By following the tutorial, you setup Outlook 2013 to connect to server through ActiveSync protocol, outlook should sync Calendar, Contacts, Tasks automatically.

But when I click on Address Book there is nothing inside. On the server I installed the globaladdressbook plugin so it is now working on roundcube. But for outlook, I don't have anything inside the Address Book.

Re: Global Address Book Configuration towards Outlook

My mistake. SOGo offers CardDAV as a personal address book by default.

The global address book offered by SOGo is not available in CardDAV service, and seems some carddav clients just sync the default (one) address book, not even sync other address books owned by the user.

Re: Global Address Book Configuration towards Outlook

Hi Zhang,

So the only options left is the openLDAP? smile
We have to give a deep thought about it as it will need for us to create a new mail server and do the migration.

Thank you for your full support on this issue .

Re: Global Address Book Configuration towards Outlook

Hi,
I just found the solution for displaying global address book in Outlook using Outlook CalDav Synchronization
1. Create New PST File to keep Global Address Book
2. Install Outlook Caldav synchronization
3. configure with your credential
4. When you klik *Test or discover setting* it will prompt Personal Address Book or Global Address Book, then klik OK.

It will show global address book in your Outlook
