ldap-vam.cf

[jujub]

hello,

I have down a migration of zimbra opensource 4.5.5 to zimbra open source 4.5.9 on CentoS 4.3 all was ok.

but a problem arrived, after I have change the configuration files like the one I used before.

I have down changes in the zmmta.cf to use an ldap for the virtual aliases:
POSTCONF virtual_alias_maps hash:/etc/zimbraiufm/group.aliases,ldap:/opt/zimbra/conf/ldap-vam.cf


I changed my ldap-vam.cf too

server_host = ldap://azimbra.###.fr:389
server_port = 389
search_base =
query_filter = (&(|(zimbraMailDeliveryAddress=%s)(zimbraMailAlias=% s)(zimbraMailCatchAllAddress=%s)(zimbraMailCanonic alAddress=%s))(zimbraMailStatus=enabled))
result_attribute = zimbraMailDeliveryAddress,zimbraMailForwardingAddr ess,zimbraPrefMailForwardingAddress,zimbraMailCatc hAllForwardingAddress
version = 3
bind = no
timeout = 30

I have restart my Zimbra
everything work well with the new version

24 hours later the file ldap-vam.cf lost (zimbraMailCanonicalAddress=%s) in the query filter

no trace int logs...
do you have an explanantion on how this part of the filter could disapear ?

thank you for helping me

-rw-rw-r-- 1 zimbra zimbra 234 nov 10 00:07 ldap-vmm.cf


are modified, I don't find for the moment why and by who, those files are modified

if you had a clue or someting which could help me thank you

Well, I'm interested in that too.

I had also to modify this file as explained in bug 16668
Bug 16668 - Make zimbraMailCanonicalAddress a valid address for the account

This problem raises a new question, about how to add permanent modifications to ldap-vam.cf.

Anyone an idea about that ?
