Ben,
Can you give me some more details on this. It should be possible to
display the entries with Mozilla now. The build at abzilla.mozdev.org
adds the UI patch 83023 but is not necessary to create the LDAP Address
Book. This functionality has been available since milestone 0.9.3.
So, if we start with Mozilla now, you need to manually edit the prefs.js
file typically with the following:
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.myldap.description", "myldap");
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.myldap.dirType", 777);
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.myldap.position", x);
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.myldap.uri",
"moz-abldapdirectory://myldap_server_name:389/dc=bucksch,dc=com?(or(DisplayName,
bw,ben)(PrimaryEmail,bw,ben))");
The dirType must be set to 777. The position 'x' must be set to next available
position. The "myldap_server_name" gets replaced with your ldap server name.
After 83023 goes in, you only need the base dn as #83023 creates the Search
String. For example:
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.myldap.uri","moz-abldapdirectory://myldap_server_name:
389/dc=bucksch,dc=com");
Let me know how you get on. If you have the LDAP AutoComplete working then
you should be able to create an LDAP Address Book.
