I've managed to get this mostly working, but it seems a little like a
black art :-)
For me, I needed to do the following:-
- go to contacts
- select menu item Tools->Addressbook Sources
- Add a entry
- Basic tab
- Account name is what you want to appear "Other Contacts"
section of the folder bar
- Server name - name or ip address of your LDAP/exchange server
- I did *not* check the "My server requires authentication"
- Advanced tab
- Port - unchanged (389)
- Search base - o=Intechnology;c=GB
- Search scope - Sub
The only hard part is the Search base, for which o=Intechnology is my
company name, and the c=GB is the fact that we are UK based. I got
these by playing with ldapseach and by mugging our exchange
administrator :-)
After that you get a new entry in "Other Contacts", search and stuff
basically works, although there is a (for us at least) a cap on numbers
of records returned. The a-z entries on the right hand side of the
contacts page do *not* work - a trace of whats being done shows they are
quesrying for something that exchange knows nothing about.
We use an exchange 5.5 server.
