[ Hi all, this goes CC to the KMail list, please join our discussion if you want to participate... ] Hi Marko and Darrel! Thanks again for your patience - it's been quite a bit longer that I had intended to let you wait for my reply... As you see in our new design plan for LDAP access (see below) we actually managed to find a way how to use the new LDAP kioslave without having to re-implement tons of code for mutt support (which is our 2nd goal and com= es right after KMail support). Now there are several issues where you could help me see things clearer: * What do we have to do to make sure the planned usage of OpenLDAP _without_ having OpneLDAP use the socket will work? The reason for this: We (=3D=3D the LDAP kioslave) want to access the LDAP servers ourselfev - using the TCPSlaveBase class because when doing so the LDAP kioslave will gain all the common benefits of the TCPSlaveBase (e.g. KDE-wide configuration for SSL ...) * Which parts of the new LDAP kioslave will be KDE independent and thus could/should be implemented in our separate "shared LDAP Module"? The reason for this: The more code we have in the shared LDAP module the easier it is for us to realize our mutt LDAP access. =C4gypten tries to be as independent as possible - while at the same t= ime trying to be as usefull both for KDE and for others as possible. Please send comments/ideas/proposals... :) Ciao, Karl-Heinz ---------- Forwarded Message ---------- Subject: [Aegypten] plan: LDAP support via new kioslave!

Since Marko Samastur and Darrell Esau offered their help in improving KDE LDAP support they and I will make a plan how to do things and present our proposal to the KMail list soon...
