LDAP Addressbook Server for Roundcube

This Howto describes the setup of a simple LDAP addressbook server that should be ready for using with Roundcube "out of the box". The goal is to have an addressbook solution similar to the SQL based one, including contact groups and configurable fields. On the other side it should be possible to connect with any LDAP addressbook client out there.

Since Rouncube 0.5 is not ready to work with LDAP contact groups, this feature will be available not before Rouncube 0.6. Nevertheless can the LDAP addressbook server allready be used with RC 0.5: new contacts do not belong to a group first, but this can be changed in later versions.

This Howto makes some simplifications that are maybe a good choice for a simpe home server:
