Hey,

I would like to ask for some help.
I need to make WebMail Pro's Global and Private Address Book functionality to work. Users can authenticate on ldap, but address books are not working. I have created the ldap_book_global.xml and the ldap_book_private.xml files, configured them but it still not working. The only thing that has not been set up is the address book field, if I need to use it at all. The documentation get obscured a bit around there. For any help, I would be grateful!

Update #1: I use the PHP variant of WebMail Pro, on Debian 8.1

Can you please confirm whether this is about ASP.NET or PHP version of WebMail Pro? Thank you.

I see. Well, the files you mentioned only apply to ASP.NET version.

For Global address book, LDAP configuration is described at:

Configuring global address book for LDAP and Active Directory

There's no out-of-box way to use private address book, but the following plugin allows to use custom address books in WebMail:

Add contacts from external address books

Sorry for the late reply. I was on a sick leave.

I have managed the global contacts to work. Thank you!

On the plugin you have linked to make the personal contacts works, Is there a more detailed decumentation? Search Engines give links but no single one is relevant. I can't figure out, how to make it work.

That plugin is basically a stub, it's assumed that you provide the actual code for retrieving contacts from LDAP or any other source, and supply that code in the plugin instead of the placeholder code:

Code:
$oRemoteDb = CRemoteApi::GetDB();
$aResultContacts = $oRemoteDb->GetContacts($oAccount->Email, $sSearch);

I've written a code that executes a "query" against our LDAP server.
Now I try to parse the result in to the correct form.

Once the plugin works, the results should show up the same, as the global contacts do, when I type?

In the plugin I can find the following line:

$this->AddHook('webmail.change-suggest-list', 'WebmailChangeSuggestList');

I assume that the first paramter is the client side function name, the one thats linked on recipients textboxes ~textchange event. The second parameter is the PHP function name. Due to the minified JS and big amount of code I am unsure of the afrementioned, can you confirm my assumption?

Am I allowed to post the complete, working code here?
Maybe there are some people with the same needs on the personal contacts from ldap thingie.

WebMail Pro contains a number of hooks which can be used by plugins. The approach allows for performing custom code and altering data on-the-fly. This particular hook is there for amending suggestions list and can be found at line ~4273 of libraries/ProjectCore/Actions.php file:

Code:
\CApi::Plugin()->RunHook('webmail.change-suggest-list', array($oAccount, $sSearch, &$aList, &$aCounts));


As you can see, it's not about JavaScript. But just in case if you wish to use non-minified JavaScript - that's possible, you need to add the following item to the array defined in data/settings/config.php file:

Code:
'labs.use-app-min-js' => false,


That would result in using app.js file instead of app.min.js.

And of course, you can post your code or a public link to it here.

I had to hardcode my user into my LDAP search string. For testing it was fine, for production I need to get the currently signed in user email address. Is there a function for that? What options do I have for this?

$oAccount->Email mentioned in plugin stub is what you need.

Oh yeah, we made it work. Thank you!
I get the contacts, correctly. As I see, LDAP personal contacts now works in one way.
Are there any plans for a feature that enable users to store their personal contacts on LDAP?

Currently, our primary focus assumes moving from adding new features to converting the product into a platform which would allow third-party developers to add functionality they need.
