No problem. All paths here are according to Debian Sqeeze, if you use
another distro they might differ. Install the evolutionperson.schema in
your LDAP (copy it to /etc/ldap/schema), include it in your slapd.conf
(include /etc/ldap/schema/evolutionperson.schema).
Now I created a Organizational Unit (ou=evoadress,dc=mydomain,dc=de) and
a special user which has write permissions to that ou.
access to dn.sub="ou=evoadress,dc=mydomain,dc=de"
by dn="uid=adressbook,ou=users,dc=mydomain,dc=de" write
by * none
Only this user can access my "evoadress"-Book now. You need to add that
user via a ldif-File or you can use smoething like JXplorer (great
tool). The same thing with the ou.
The only thing left to do now is to fill the right parameters into
evolutions ldap-config.
Server = IP or FQDN of the Server
Port = 389
Loginmethod = Use DN
Loginname = uid=adressbook,ou=users,dc=mydomain,dc=de
Searchbase = ou=evoadress,dc=mydomain,dc=de
Filter = (objectClass=*)
That´s (in a real short description) everything you need. Done in 15 min
and works wonderful.
