External Authentication

[hchan]

Any pointers on how to go from internal authentication to external LDAP? I'm planning to do this kind of migration and am hoping that it can be done without having to do a full server reinstall and data migration.

Thanks in advance.

You added this post to a thread that was for a different problem, I'll move it into a new thread.

Why do you think you'll have to do a full server reinstall? All you need to is to dump your list of users to a file, create them in your external LDAP the go through the Zimbra Authentication wizard and point it to your external LDAP server. There are several threads in the forums with details of how to get a list of users, please search.
