[SOLVED] LDAP, thunderbird and Outlook
Posted: Mon Mar 12, 2007 12:00 pm
Hello everyone!
I had installed the latest OSE edition for debian on a chroot jail on Gentoo, and later on tried the NE always on the same machine.
I have tried the MAPI connector on a vmware install of win XP, and it works good.
But the problem arises when I try to use a linux mail client (Thunderbird) in order to sync the LDAP directory (GAL): Thunderbird silently refuses the connection, and the ldap account remains empty: search does not work, and browsing neither (I know this could be normal).
I have correctly added the account based on this thread, either on linux-thunderbird or winxp-outlook: the only difference is that outlook spits an error message (in italian, free translation) about beeing "Unable to connect to the LDAP server (81)". Checked zmcontrol status with my zimbra user in the chroot, all services running. Checked telnet myhost 389, it connects regularly. Can someone give a hand?
Thank you in advance, any further info I'll be glad to provide.
