Thanks Herman for the info.
We did have a cn= value so I'm not sure why my hand edit did not work but it's good
to know it should. I did not know that there was a difference between in the Optimize
LDAP between the two locations, that also is good to know... Is this something that
ipswitch is going to fix???

____________________________________________________________ I edited the file by
hand and i had good results. The missing display of persons is because the field "cn="
is not filled or does not exist.
Try reaching this per person:
[0FFFFFFFF]
*pv*=domain.com
*rm*=
*rh*=
*nf*=0
uid=andrea.kraus
cn=Andrea Kraus
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
sn=Kraus
o=
ou=
street=
l=
st=
c=
postal=
Telephone=
gn=Andrea
Fill the other fields as you need it, but make sure thet at least these fields exist
and are filled.
Then do an "optimize LDAP" from the domain tab in imail admin (optimize LDAP from the
host tab does nothing).
We had problems also with the DOMAIN.DTA file:
[0FFFFFFFF]
*pv*=
*rm*=
*rh*=
*nf*=
DomainName=domain.com
If there is a "0" somewhere behind the first four lines, the search is limited and
there are no hits from your search. Make sure that there is no a line like "*nf*=0".
If you edited this file optimize the LDAP database.
