Open LDAP and Scalix

LDAP directory services provide a centralized repository for information about users and devices that are authorized to use your network.Scalix stores its information not in the LDAP but in its own special database called"DIRECTORY". Omslapd (Scalix "LDAP" server) is just an interface "translating" LDAP requests to DIRECTORY requests thus providing "standard-based" access to the Scalix directories.The External LDAP and External Active Directory authentication methods attempt to bind to the specified LDAP server, using the supplied user name and password. These method can be used if the email environment uses Microsoft Active Directory directory services for authentication and the Scalix-LDAP directory services for all other Scalix-related transactions. This requires that users exist in both OpenLDAP and in the Active Directory servers.omldapsync utility is to sync scalix directories and your external ldap server.
