Active Directory sync with zimbra-dap

[milesteg]

Hi all

I've just installed zimbra and configured authentication with an AD running on Windows 2003 Server. It works fine. However, I cannot find a stable solution to maintain both directories synchronized. I've found a script, which allows zimbra to get all users in AD by means of comparing them with existing users in zimbra-ldap. However, the script does not get any attribute like name, surname, telephone, etc; only user's e-mail address, which is used as zimbra user name.

This is the url where you can find the script: Linalco: Especialistas en Linux y Software Libre - Detalles del documento

We have paid for Network Edition License, but I cannot find any section in the support page which provides a solution for this. Is there any reliable and stable way of maintaining the servers in sync without having to write a script by myself?

Thank you ver much

I hope you liked my script :-)
It can be modified to add some more fields, as someone else has asked me before.
I'm working on it right now, maybe I can publish a new version soon :-)

I'm uploading it, but:
- this is a very old script, some modifications will be needed for latest windows 2008 anz zimbra versions
- This script creates zimbra users from AD users, it won't touch AD or create wnidows users
;-)

Hi,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I am able to download the script, but it's showing up an error while opening or extracting.

Please take a look..

Thanks,
Sidh

Hmm.. permission problems in that hosting didn't let the download go right.
Let's try again with this attached file ;-)

Hil diegolave. Please, keep the original post language so all users can follow it.
You may change whatever you need, just edit the script and adjust your own AD settins, like this (line 16):

# Server values
LDAP_SERVER="ldap://111.1.1.150"
BASEDN="dc=example,dc=com"
BINDDN="CN=username,DC=example,DC=com"
BINDPW="secret"
FILTER="(&(sAMAccountName=*)(objectClass=user)(givenName=*))"
FIELDS="mail"

Just adjust it to fit your needs ;-)

It's not corrupt, you did notice that there are two files (and downloaded the correct one) in this thread didn't you?
