*How can I add the admin user as an administrator for Horde?*
You can set up the admin user as an administrator for Horde. This gives you the ability to view the Horde configuration via the web interface. The web interface explains what the settings are actually for. This is helpful if you are developing any of the additional horde addon modules as you can see what the configuration should look like. After figuring out the layout you can build the default templates based on that output.

By default, no user has the ability to update the default configuration files from the web interface. If you want to make a change, you can change it from the web interface, when done click on generate configuration. You will get an error stating that you could not save the backup configuration file, but the output is still displayed so you can see what the settings should be. To add this function, you will need to create a custom template. Here are the steps to take:

*LDAP Directory Gives Errors on Outlook 2002 or Outlook 2003*
In Outlook 2002 or 2003 when someone tries to find a contact using the LDAP server, a message stating that "Unavailable critical extension" and then a second message saying "The search could not be completed. MAPI_E_CALL_FAIL" shows up and nothing shows up from the search. The directory works beautifully in Thunderbird 1.5 as well as Outlook 2000, but not 2002 or 2003.

*How do I configure the firewall?*
The server manager is the GUI front end for the firewall. The firewall is modified automatically in response to changes you make in the configuration, such as enabling/disabling services, marking them public/private, forwarding ports, etc. If you wish to make changes beyond those provided for by the server manager, you can do so by providing custom templates

*How do I allow public access to a service I've added to SME Server 7?*
The procedure has changed and is now much simpler in SME Server 7. For this example the service you have installed is called 'manta' and 'nnn' is the TCP port number that needs to be opened. Watch your capitalization with the command below:
