To communicate with the Active Directory server over the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), you need an SSL enabled server and an SSL certificate for the client. SSL communication is required to programmatically change the Active Directory password.
(more…)Enabling SSL in Active Directory allows clients to communicate securely with AD servers. This is also required to allow a user’s Active Directory password to be changed programmatically using LDAP.
(more…)The Postfix Cyrus SASL support is used to authenticate remote SMTP clients to the Postfix SMTP server. Thanks to the Pluggable Authentication Modules (PAM) in Linux, we can configure Cyrus SASL to delegate the authentication process to an Active Directory server.
(more…)LDAP authentication is available in Dovecot starting version 1.0. Since Active Directory is an implementation of LDAP directory services, we can use the LDAP authentication to authenticate Dovecot against an Active Directory server. But for users of Dovecot prior to 1.0 or those having problems with LDAP authentication, we can instead use the Kerberos authentication mechanism in Windows via the Linux PAM.

Active Directory is an implementation of LDAP directory services by Microsoft for use primarily in Windows environments. Microsoft provides a set of graphical tools to manage Active Directory so we don’t have to deal with LDAP concepts like distinguished names, attributes, schemas, etc. The provided tools are good, but there are certain instances in which we need to deal with LDAP directly to be able to perform tasks the tools does not provide.This article will show you how to setup your Outlook 2003 address book to retrieve contact information from an Active Directory server as long as the attributes below are set.
(more…)Before using SquirrelMail, the user should first fill in at least the name and email address in the Personal Information option. But we can eliminate this step by using the RetrieveUserData plugin to retrieve this information from a variety of sources and automatically update this information.
