postfix authentication against Active Directory
 

hi all,
we are in the process of converting our company mail server MS Exchange with open source (postfix). Our company use Microsoft Active Directory Services and did not wish to introduce another form of user directory to store identities and passwords. It mean Postfix have to authenticate users against AD, Using Active Directory to obtain authentication means that users of the system don't have to remember a separate username and password just for the email system.

What I'm looking for a HOWTO for postfix + imap + AD, I google but didn't find anything interesting.

I will greatly appreciate a link/url/reference, suggestion in this regard.

Regards

I think you should look for LDAP instead of AD: http://www.postfix.org/LDAP_README.html

(It's used from earlier versions since it's a "must" protocol, but just to confirm what i said :) )

hi gbonvehi
Thanks for your pointers yeap I'm also thinking LDAP way but.....you know when things comes to M$ it simply SUCKS :)

However google telling me that lot of people accessing AD from open source successfully.

Thanks regards

Active directory and postfix
 

Hi all,

i also want to configure the postfix with active directory so it takes the user info from the active directory.
