RE: AD authentication and mail service

We've successfully bound Panther Server to Active Directory. All of
the
users and groups show up in WGM. But when I try to enable mail
services a
user, I get error -14140 in PMMugSearchController.pm. Click OK, then I
get
error -14084 in PMMugAccountsContentsView.pm.

The ADPlugin provides basic authentication and authorization support in
situations where you can not extend the Active Directory schema for
Managed Client settings. The plug-in provides a default set of MCX
settings because they do not exist otherwise. Since this setting cache
does not exist in AD and it is providing for the lack of those LDAP
attributes, you can not write back to Active Directory the settings in
WGM unless you have extended your schema.

According to the Panther
documentation on mail services:

" Identify the people who will use your mail service but don9t already
have
user accounts in a directory domain accessible to your mail service.
You
must create user accounts for these mail users. "
--
Why are you trying to configure mail accounts for users that reside in
AD from the server running your mail service?
--
Is it not the case that if I can see all the users and groups, then
the
directory domain IS accessible to my mail service? What am I missing? I
don't have to create local accounts for users who need mail, do I?
Wouldn't that defeat the purpose?
--
You can configure mail accounts through AD Users and Computers to
forward mail to accounts that reside on your mail server (if that is
what your OS X Server is going to do, but you will need to setup
separate accounts for them) You do not need to create local accounts,
but Open Directory Accounts. If you can see all the users and groups
your directory domain is accessible to your mail service. It doesn't
mean that just because you can see something you have the support to
write back to it.
