Hi all,
This is not good. Without LDAP support in the Red Carpet version we will not
be able to use evolution in my organization. Lack of LDAP support is a show
stopper for us.
Is their any way to get LDAP support in Red Carpet distribution if OpenLDAP
is installed??? Can't you make a call to a LDAP routine and if it fails then
do the popup???
