Hi Sebastian,

In 0.9.8.4 the following configuration setting was added to help with
exactly this issue:

http://wiki.davical.org/w/Configuration/settings/do_not_sync_from_ldap


Also, in 0.9.9 it is possible to sync groups from LDAP as well. There's
nothing on the wiki about how to configure it yet, but there are some
details in the example config file...


Regards,
Andrew McMillan.

Hi,

that is a good thing for letting the 'admin' user active, but not so
good for my groups/resources.

As we have a huge number of groups and resources it wouldn't be very
comfortable to use the do_not_sync_from_ldap array.

Ok, so when groups are also syncable from ldap the group-prblem is gone,
but what about resources?

They would still get deactivated. I think there should be an option to
not update groups/resources from LDAP at all.
Another option i thought about would be allowing wildcards in
do_not_sync_from_ldap, so i could just add 'group_%' or something like
that (since all my groups are named group_* and all calendars calendar_*.

Regards
Sebastian
