1. Do I have to add everyone in as a user then to Joomla? If so I don't think this is going to work for me. I already have over 300 users in Zimbra and that is a lot of users to add. Keep in mind that my users are not static. In other words as people come and go I know have two places to update. I guess to me that is not a very good way of it. I am sure it's how Joomla does it but seems to me a waste of resources.
2. Does the Zimbra plugins for Joomla only work with Ver. 5 of Zimbra. I need to upgrade to Ver 5 but haven't had time. When I try to login as Zimbra it errors out.

1) Yes you will need a Joomla and a Zimbra account but this process can be automated. Two simple ways would be; a) Use my plugin and get users to self register via Joomla and the plugin will generate the Zimbra account, but this will not help with your existing userbase. b) Write a plugin automatically creates the Joomla account during the login process after validating the account via LDAP.
2) It depends on what has changed on the Zimbra ldap side between versions. It may need the Joomla LDAP authentication plugin parameters altering, particularly the LDAP V3 and Users DN settings.
