What I *believe* he is looking for, and what I am looking for is well is to have a setup where the primary directory server is serving out address book information that LDAP clients such as Outlook (and others) can read, while at the same time providing that information to Mozilla clients.
Ideally, Mozilla should just be able to be pointed at the same server and obtain the same information. Mozilla is poised to be an Outlook replacement, but would be useless in an existing MicroSoft shop without this ability.
Its nice that Mozilla has its own schema, but if it cant interopperate, its just as bad as MicroSoft Exchange/Outlook.

Hi What LDAP server are you using? Why don't you try another ldap client?All the LDAP servers that I used have own administration tools? And there are also some free LDAP browsers.

We are transitionning to LDAP (to have both our students addressbook available through LDAP and web access authentication). We've devined our own LDAP schema. I'd like to know what are the schema entries Mozilla is able to parse and use, so the entries can be shown in the Mozilla LDAP client. Are they only the ones defined in the Mozilla LDAP schema (v0.6, http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/attachment.cgi?id=104858&action=view ?) Where can I find the exhaustive list of LDAP entries 'recognized' by the Mozilla client ? Since Mozilla have no chance to cope with most of our private schema entries, is there a way to provide a kind of 'LDAP bridge' so that our entries would be converted to Mozilla-compliant entries, using another LDAP server, for example, to perform the convertion on-the-fly ? I don't know anything about LDAP replication, maybe the solution is there. Can you help me ? Thanks, Emmanuel.
