Hi, I have successfully installed iRedMail and integrated it with Active Directory. I'm tring to use AD attribute "otherMailbox" to setup multiple aliases, but postmap query always return empty result. I have tried to use the same query with "Users and computers" snap-in and it works. It looks like postmap query cannot search multi-value attributes? Here is my alias config:


server_host       = 192.168.97.12
server_port       = 3268
version              = 3
bind                  = yes
start_tls            = no
bind_dn            = cn=vmail,cn=users,dc=example,dc=local
bind_pw            = *******
search_base      = dc=example,dc=local
scope                = sub
debuglevel        = 0
query_filter       = (&(objectClass=user)(otherMailbox=%s))
result_attribute = userPrincipalName

I have also tried proxyAddresses , but without any result. Everything seems to be ok when searching singiel-value attributes.
Can any one help me to resolve this issue ?

Best regards,
Bartek

Bind dn used in command line and postmap are different.
Please use the same bind dn & password as in *.cf file.

Re: Empty postmap query when searchin otherMailbox attibute

I finally found the solution! Problem with Active Directory is that it uses port 3268, wich is Global Catalog port! So, not every attribute is avalieble! Including otherMailbox, proxyAddresses and so on...
It took me a while to solve this, but I've found this script:

<code>
ldapFilter = "(&(objectClass=attributeSchema)(isMemberOfPartialAttributeSet=TRUE))"

Set rootDSE = GetObject("LDAP://rootDSE")
schemaDN = rootDSE.Get("schemaNamingContext")

Set ado = CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
ado.Provider = "ADSDSOObject"
ado.Open "ADSearch"
Set objectList = ado.Execute("<LDAP://" & schemaDN & ">;" & ldapFilter & ";lDAPDisplayName;subtree")

While Not objectList.EOF
    attrName = objectList.Fields("lDAPDisplayName")
    WScript.Echo attrName

    objectList.MoveNext
Wend
</code>

Script works and shows wich attribute is avalible from GC port.
I hope this information helps someone :-)
