I had a lot of problems with LDAP vs OE5.5 with my Imail v7. Here is what support told me.
1.) reference the LDAP server by its IP address, not its DNS name. 2.) In the searchbase field, use the following (case sensitive): objectclass="person" These two things work! ~Alan ----------------------------------------------------------------- Alan Shepro Slone Epidemiology Unit Boston University Medical School 1371 Beacon Street Brookline, MA 02446 Tel 617-734-6006 x235 Fax 617-738-5119 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ----- Original Message ----- From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, October 02, 2001 11:54 AM Subject: [IMail Forum] LDAP amd IMAIL : Product: IMail Server 7 : OS: Windows NT Server 4.0 : Problem: : : I am attempting to view LDAP information from the client machine and have : been unable to accomplish this. Below are the steps I went thought for : setup. I am using OutLook [Internet Only} on workstations. : : First I followed KB article IM-19990730-DM02 and confirmed workstation was : using IE5 for the outlook express address book. I also found the attr file : in the IMAIL root directory and added "ref=display-name" below : "ref=CommonName" in the file. : : Next I used KB IM-20010411-DM01 to compare the contents of attr.ini and : found my above mentioned ref and the attribute "UserId" to be the only : difference. I have both the ref edit and the UserId in my attr file which : was not in the example in the KB. : : I then went to the users under the domain I'm testing and under "General : User Changes" I checked "Provide user info with finger" and clicked "change : all accounts". : : I set up a Directory service in outlook for the domain as outlook help and : your user guide suggest. I leave all defaults and have nothing forced to : private, public or requiring password. : : I then start and stop the LDAP and Finger services. : : When I open my client and attempt to send an email to a member of the : domain I do not have a listing for them in the "to" field. Once I click on : the "to" button. I try to search for other members of that domain which : have email accounts under the domain but none are visible. : : We are purchasing this product next week through Katelyn and need to have : this functioning before the powers to be will purchase. Any immediate help : would be appreciated. : : Thanks, : : Michael Douglas : National Paintball Supply : [864] 458-7221 ext. 111 : : Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html : to be removed from this list. : : An Archive of this list is available at: : http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ : Please visit http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html to be removed from this list.
