HowTo disable public ldap adressbook in RoundCube?

NethServer Version: v7
Module: Roundcube

Hi all,

Nethserver v7 works like a charm, but when users connect to their roundcube webmail, they see the public ldap adressbook that i wish to completely hide from every users.
How should i proceed ?

Thanks.

I suppose that you can remove the file

github.com

NethServer/nethserver-roundcubemail/blob/master/root/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/roundcubemail/config.inc.php/50ADDRESSBOOK_SETTINGS

// ----------------------------------
// ADDRESSBOOK SETTINGS
// ----------------------------------

// This indicates which type of address book to use. Possible choises:
// 'sql' (default), 'ldap' and ''.
// If set to 'ldap' then it will look at using the first writable LDAP
// address book as the primary address book and it will not display the
// SQL address book in the 'Address Book' view.
// If set to '' then no address book will be displayed or only the
// addressbook which is created by a plugin (like CardDAV).
//$config['address_book_type'] = 'sql';

// In order to enable public ldap search, configure an array like the Verisign
// example further below. if you would like to test, simply uncomment the example.
// Array key must contain only safe characters, ie. a-zA-Z0-9_

// If you are going to use LDAP for individual address books, you will need to 
// set 'user_specific' to true and use the variables to generate the appropriate DNs to access it.
//

This file has been truncated. show original

not tested but it should work…else reinstall nethserver-roundcubemail

of couse the next update will recreate this file

you don’t have to remove it, just create an empty fragment with the same name and the same path under templates-custom dir…

this will survive to all the upgrades

Mate, I’m sure you already know it

So this is what i’ve done, following stephdl and Stefano_Zamboni. Many
thanks to them
By the way stephdl, i know you need help but at this time i can’t.
Really sorry about that. Bon courage
So, this is how to prevent the public ldap adressbook from appearing in
RoundCube.

First, open :
/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/roundcubemail/config.inc.php/
Find 50ADDRESSBOOK_SETTINGS, which is what i was looking for.

I could have removed it following stephdl, but i have prefered to create
my own template.
cd /etc/e-smith/templates-custom

Create a relative path, NOT an absolute one as i initially did
mkdir -p /etc/roundcubemail/config.inc.php/

Go to the directory you created :
cd etc/roundcubemail/config.inc.php/

Copy the original file in the current directory :
cp
/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/roundcubemail/config.inc.php/50ADDRESSBOOK_SETTINGS
.

Edit
/etc/e-smith/templates-custom/etc/roundcubemail/config.inc.php/50ADDRESSBOOK_SETTINGS
Remove the first part of the file (LDAP and AD are useless for me).
There’s another trick : you must remove ‘public’ where the file deals
with :
"// An ordered array of the ids of the addressbooks that should be searched
// when populating address autocomplete fields server-side."
Instead of :
$config[‘autocomplete_addressbooks’] = array(‘sql’,‘public’);
Use :
$config[‘autocomplete_addressbooks’] = array(‘sql’);

Save your configuration file.
