1 These are preliminary instructions on how to set up kdepim to work
2 with a kolab server. It is meant to be a help for people setting
3 up for testing. It is also meant as a list of things to set up in the
4 upcoming Kolab setup wizard.
7 There are the steps needed to setup the Kolab server as the primary
13 1. Set up your identity.
14 2. Set up a disconnected IMAP account to the server and sync it.

37 TODO: Are Bind DN and password the Kolab user settings?
38 TODO: If yes, do they make the LDAP resource writable?
39 The scheme for the base DN is to take the parts of the fully
40 qualified hostname of the kolab server and put ",dc=" between
41 the parts and "dc=" in front of it. Or in Qt code:
42 baseDN = "dc=" + hostname.replace( '.', ",dc=" );
43 Finally check the checkbox to activate the LDAP server. Now
44 you can search the Kolab LDAP server and get all users on the
50 1. Start KDE Control Center and go to KDE Components, page KDE
51 Resources Configuration. Choose the calendar resource. Add an
52 IMAP resource and set it to standard.
53 Optional: Delete others or set them to readonly.
54 TODO: Free-Busy setup and KMail mail scheduling.
