Hi there

Could someone please let me know if it is possible to get 389-DS integrated with iRedMail, in order to make use of existing mail accounts in my 389 DS?

Will converting the iRedMail schema into a format that 389 DS understands, and importing it in work?
I'm really struggling to find any information online for this, which makes me think it might not be possible?

iRedMail doesn't support external OpenLDAP / AD / 389DS because it relies on its own ldap schema files, not just use external LDAP service for authentication.

Thanks so much for the quick response.

So to confirm, I cannot use my current 389DS for iRedMail at all? Thats a pity.

You can, but then you need to implement that on your own
