Topic: How to convert LDAP backend to MySQL ?

Hello,

I need to convert an actual production iredmail server with LDAP backend (0.60-rc1), to the MySQL backend.

1) Is it possible?
2) If positive, does a step-by-step guide exist?

3) Or maybe Zhuang could be interested in doing it for us? How much would it cost to have a flawless migration?

TIA

Alberto

YES. But there may be some troubles:

- Password migration. Because iRedMail stores SSHA hashed password in LDAP, it's not possible to migrate to MYSQL.
- Mail list. iRedMail with MySQL backend doesn't have builtin mail list support, you have to install mailman or similar programs instead.   

2) If positive, does a step-by-step guide exist?

Not yet. You're the first one who ask for this.

Would you mind sharing us why you want to migrate from LDAP to MYSQL?

To be honest, i didn't migrate from ldap to mysql before, although i believe it's easy for me to achieve this.
