> What about intergartion of user database to email clients?
In email client you have an option for adding directory server. Mention IP,
Port and search base like dc=yourdomain,dc=com.
Now whenever you check the names it would query for names in LDAP.
> How do you use your address book ? how that works ?
Below is basic ldif format that suits your requirement for just address
book.
dn: dc=yashpal, dc=nagar
dc: yashpal
o: yashpal
objectclass: organization
objectclass: dcObject
dn: cn=dhruv, dc=ldap, dc=dir
cn: Dhruv Soi
sn: LDAP Helper
objectclass: inetorgperson
mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
You can add more schemas like Street Adress, Phone Number etc etc which you
can find in LDAP Browser or can search.
Once you import this to LDAP, it would have an entry for my name. Now from
email client whenever you will try search using search base(here its
dc=yashpal,dc=nagar) it will check the name for display name as sn:(here its
LDAP Helper) and email id as [EMAIL PROTECTED] but its always good to
use Organization Units(ou:) it could be Users and will modify your search
base to ou=Users,dc=yashpal,dc=nagar
Simple :).....Now please don't ask me whats dn cn sn etc etc Study from
following links, though i have setup 90% of your LDAP.
Rest 10% you can follow the instructions in Attached file. And for knowledge
you can read out of the following links.
