The mailing list for listmasters using Sympa

[Olivier Salaün <address@concealed>]

Hi Rolf,

Maybe you might be interrested in this development plan we have: <http://www.sympa.org/dev/exporting_groups_in_ldap>

Some work of this kind has been started by Junta de Andalucia (Cced is Israel Cardenas).

In your case, you would be able to execute, at the end of the subscribers synchronizing, a script updating your LDAP directory. But this is for a future version of Sympa.

Please take note that you must be very careful when implementing such a treatment and make sure that you don't create a loop in which Sympa would update a directory that it would also use as a datasource. This would be very dangerous for data consistency.

Regards,

David

I'm not sure I got you right, but if you mean "how is it possible to modify an LDAP directory to add/remove the information stating that a user has subscribed/unsubscribed from a list" then it's not possible.

Sympa can only read external data sources, not modify them.

thanks for your answer. I thought that, as Sympa was able to use LDAP as data source, there also would be some sort of interface between the subscribe/unsubscribe/setnomail routines and LDAP, but my assumptions were wrong, I understand.

What are the routines responsible for subscribing/unsubscribing etc.? Do they provide hooks to implement LDAP modifications?
