Authentification of external services usinig Zimbra LDAP

[krabina]

Hi,

as a LDAP novice I find that most of the discussions and wiki entries are targeted at the question on how Zimbra can be configured to use external LDAP schemes to authenticate Zimbra users.

I want to do the opposite: I want to have Zimbra as the master and ask the Zimbra LDAP to authenticate users.

Can anybody please point me to where this is documented?

My example is Timetsteet NG - it provides the following settings, and I don't have a clue on what to put in:

Connection Details
------------------
Data entry style: "Normal" or "RFC 2255 URL"

Chosing "RFC 2255 URL" the example is:
ldap://watson:389/dc=watson?cn?base

Is that something Zimbra supports?

If I chose "Normal", I have to provide these additional settings:

Scheme: LDAP=Non SSL or LDAPS=Use SSL
Host: watson
Port: 389
LDAP search base (Distinguished Name): dc=watson
Username attribute to query: cn
Search scope: Base DN search only (LDAPRead) OR One level search (LDAPList) OR Full sub-tree search (LDAPSearch)
Filter:
Protocol Version: (1-3)
Use LDAP Referrals: (yes/no)
Fallback to local Authentication on fail: (yes/no)

The following fields are normally only required for Microsoft's Active Directory LDAP Server:
Use LDAP by user authentication: (yes/no)
Bind Username: Bind Password:

Can anybody help me out by pointing to some documentation covering the issue of having zimbra as a ldap master and using the zimbra ldap in other applications?
