I just installed phpgw 0.9.16.003 with LDAP account management and found some issues that look strange, if not annoying:
- Why the need of "non overlaping" uid and gid? I saw that LDAP entries are created with a gid=uid, but no group entry with that gid is created. I presume this is the reason of this "non overlapping" thing, but having an "exact overlapping" would have permit coherent user and group creation, just like some Unices do.
- Setup asks for accounts and contact LDAP context (first in system setup, second in addressbook setup), but says:
"WARNING!! LDAP is valid only if you are NOT using contacts for accounts storage!". What does it mean? Does it mean phpgw can't distinguish between accounts and contacts LDAP entries? This is what LDAP branches are done for!
- LDAP entries are created without the superior objectclasses, even without the "top" objectclass. I'm not sure, but this could be an issue with V3 only LDAP servers.

To make it short: I know that opinions are like LDAP ways of using (everyone has one ;-) ), but I'd like a more standard LDAP implementation, so that accounts are useable as unix ones (with the help of pam_ldap ans nss_ldap e.g.) and contacts are standard LDAP contacts wich I could use for example with my favorite e-mail user agent.
