Awesome! I have been struggling to implement a solution like this for
months. When I read this post I immediatly decided to try this out this week
on a test server in our office. I read the install tutorial, but I have some quick
questions though if anyone can answer them:
1.) Does OpenXchange on OS X Server tie in with Apple’s OpenDirectory
LDAP? Or do we have to maintain a seperate database of users and groups?
2.) I notice that this installer seems to install another copy of Postfix. Similar
to question one above, how much of OS X Server’s pre-existing software is
being used if any? What restrictions or issues can we predict when running
multiple versions of the same software on the same box?
3.) Reading on the OpenXchange site seems to indicate that the community
version of this server will not support Outlook clients, but the Novell version
will. Is this true? If so, could a OpenXchange be set up on OS X Server from
the community version, and then the Outlook plugin be purchased from
Novell? Or does the whole thing need to start off with a Novell install if you
need Outlook connectivity? Please clarify the possible Outlook strategies.
I think this product, both community and Novell, will be a smash success on
with OS X Server admins if it can integrate with Apple’s LDAP.
Thanks,
Joe

This is what i was waiting for !! nice job !
I just (ehhrm the last two nights) installed it following your tutoral and every
time i got a Undefined ERROR – LDAP CODE 50, See LDAP Log for Details!
error after trying to use adduser_ox, it seemed there went something wrong
with /usr/local/ox/share/init_ldap.ldif, the file contained a dn to your demo
domain instead of the example domain.
after fixing this the thing wend just fine !
Hope the ldap part will be integrated with OpenDirectory soon because OX
makes it inpossible to use the machine as a OD master (maybe a big warning
at the start of the tutoral before people mess up their production machines ?)
Keep up the good work !!
