Hi David,
I don't know if my confusion in respect to your mail has something to do with my
language skills or would it also be a challenge for a native speaker to find out what
you exactly mean ;-)
Nonetheless it'll try to figure out what you meant:
1) It's about LDAP and Mozilla.
2) The question is, can Mozilla's address book do the ldap thing?
YES
I) Mail address auto-lookup
It can be configured via Edit -> Preferences -> Mail & Newsgroups ->
Addressing ->
Address Autocompletion - Edit Directories
The rest should be quite easy - if not - ask again.
II) Address book and cards
Some manual prefs.js editing is necessary.
You should find all necessary information here:
http://abzilla.mozdev.org/ and
http://mozdev.org/ftp/pub/sun/SummaryPatchII.txt
Enabling LDAP through the Preferences File (prefs.js)
4 entries must be added to this file to support LDAP integration:
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.myldap.description", "myldap");
"myldap" replace with the name you want to see in the address book
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.myldap.dirType", 777);
use it as it is
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.myldap.position", x);
replace the 'x' with a number or don't use the whole line
user_pref("ldap_2.servers.myldap.uri","moz-abldapdirectory://ldap.name.here/basedn_here?(or(FirstName,=,Martin)(HomeCountry,=,Ireland))");
'ldap.name.here' is the DNS name of your LDAP Server.
'basedn_here' our LDAP tree base dn after the '?' you HAVE TO
have a valid query. If you have less than 100 entries in your
LDAP tree you
can specify a query which returns ALL entries like that one I use
(or(and(Department,=,*)(DisplayName,=,*))(PrimaryEmail,=,*)(FirstName,=,*))
every query you build, if you use a regular nightly build,
have to be a query with TWO query expression like
(or(PrimaryEmail,=,*)(FirstName,=,*)) just
(PrimaryEmail,=,*) didn't work for me.
I hope that was what you want to know.
Cheers
Roland
