Re: [Phpgroupware-developers] ldap support

[Tarjei Huse]

Hi,

Take a look at rolodap for one example of a ldap address book w/ private books.
I'm not perfectly satisfied with it but it could form a starting point.

Yes this is IMHO the best way.

This depends on the privileges of the parent ou. So if all users can write to
the global address book, then the user can write to his addressbook. Then you
now got the problem that the user can write to _all_ addressbooks. This could
probably be solved using ACLs with regular expressions in openldap, but I don't
know how easy this would be with other servers.
