[SOLVED] HOWTO feed GAL with all accounts created

[leocertuche]

Hi there,

We have a Zimbra implementation that serves 6 different domains, all of them belonging to the same big company. Our users would like to have all other users of the 6 different organizations showing up as possible recipients of the message when composing an email. How can we achieve that?

Our environment is the following:
zcs-5.0.16_GA_2921.DEBIAN4.0.20090429055651

Packages installed:

zimbra-core
zimbra-ldap
zimbra-logger
zimbra-mta
zimbra-snmp
zimbra-store
zimbra-apache
zimbra-spell

Thanks in advance for your help.

Greetings,

Hi there,
Our shy friend Василий Романеев from Russia gave me some help that I want to share:

In order to fill the GAL with all the users associated with a given domain, follow these steps:

Go to the admin interface, clic on Domains
Click on the domain name, the "Configure GAL" button gets enabled
Click on the Configure GAL button, choose GAL mode both and click on next
Fill the following info:
LDAP URL: yourzimbraFQDN
port: 389
LDAP filter: (|(cn=*%s*)(mail=*%s*))
autocomplete filter: externalLdapAutoComplete
LdapSearchBase: dc=ourdomainname, dc=com

Then click on next, next, and do a test with the . as search word, some users should come back after you click on test. After that go to the web mail interface, create a new message, click on the "To:" button, all users of the domain should show up!

Thanks again Василий Романеев!
