I guess this can be resolved now that there is koward?

Turba is an address book, not a user manager. Kolab will not mix these 
two aspects and any user management features need to be added to the 
Horde admin menu.



If you followed CVS you will have noticed that the Kolab_Server module 
as well as the Kolab driver in the Auth module got extended for 
managing Kolab users. There is currently no frontend for that but this 
will probably be created next year. If you have some time to invest 
into this it should not be too hard to write the pages in the Horde 
admin section required for Kolab user management.



Marking as "stalled" for now as I'm not going to work on this during 
the next months.

to maintain kolab LDAP data (inetOrgPerson only) as horde admin 
through horde i added my manager dn + pw to horde's conf.xml and 
accessed this through a modified kolab_global source in turba's 
sources.php.



conf.xml patch is attached, my kolab_global source definition is below:
