Failed to save mailbox : Failed to add user to LDAP database : attribute 'mail' not allowed

Submitted by cpuwizard on Sat, 11/14/2009 - 13:24

I am re-creating our domains on a new server because our sonic-wall email filter requires that there be a mail attribute for users. Well I did all the LDAP stuff I need to do to have Virtualmin and webmin use LDAP. I then made sure that the add mail attribute option was selected in the appropriate place but now when I add new users to a domain I get Failed to save mailbox : Failed to add user to LDAP database : attribute 'mail' not allowed

Any ideas??

In your LDAP schema, is the mail attribute allowed for the posixAccount object class? I don't think it is by default in most LDAP servers ... so you may need to modify the schema to allow this.
