Re: Spliting ldap and mail servers

Sure. Let's say you are trying with iRedMail-0.9.4:

*) install iRedMail on a server with openldap backend, it will generate file "iRedMail-0.9.4/runtime/ldap_init.ldif".

*) setup openldap on another server, with required ldap schema files. Import file "iRedMail-0.9.4/runtime/ldap_init.ldif" (copy it from iRedMail server)

*) on iRedMail server, update config files which require ldap query to use new ldap server address.

Of course you should take care of firewall rules also.
