Sample commands

• Adding a user in LDAP

  add_user_ldap -bDN dc=suse,dc=de -al cyrus -ap secret -uid smith -sn Smith -up secret -o "SuSE Linux AG" -c DE
  

• Adding a user in cyrus (INBOX only)

  add_user_cyrus -al cyrus -ap secret -uid smith -mb sent -mb trash -mb drafts -mb spam
  

• Adding a user for the Groupware ('-al comfire' and '-ap postgres' are preset in this example, for creation of profiles you have to use the Web-GUI as cyrus while creating a user)

  add_user_comfire -al comfire -ap postgres -uid smith -rights-profile everything -imapadmin cyrus -imapadminpwd secret -sent sent -trash trash -drafts drafts -spam spam -uid smith
  

  Additionally you have to execute this script for making the user visible at the contacts page:

  /opt/comfire/application/scripts/insUpdSystemUser smith
  

• Creating a new group in LDAP and adding 'smith' to it

  add_group_ldap -bDN dc=suse,dc=de -al cyrus -ap secret -cn newgroup -mUID smith
  

• Adding a mail folder to smith's INBOX

  add_folder -ul smith -up secret -mb INBOX.newmailbox
  

• Adding a machine account for Samba

  add_host_ldap -bDN dc=suse,dc=de -al cyrus -ap secret -uid workstation.suse.de$
  

• Deleting a user completely

  del_user -al cyrus -ap secret -uid smith -imap -ldap -bDN dc=suse,dc=de -sieve
  

  There's a second step necessary to delete this user also from the Groupware

  /opt/comfire/application/scripts/deleteUser smith
