Hello Mario,
some weeks ago I wrote a posting, how Microsoft Mail Clients can qaccess the ldap directory, but I didn't receive any answer.so here is the question again (if it is that stupid, than tell me that, please)
There are no stupid questions, only obsolete ones and stupid answers :)
.One reason to use the ldap stuff is to provide an easy way for people to receive certs they need for encrypting emails, so they need the public key from the mail partner, which still isn't known. I've tried to add my ldap server to the list of addresbooks in outlook (forgive me ;-)), but when I call it, nothig is displayed; also when I'm trying to access my ldap directory via the IE, I can't see any entrys in the addressbook; when I'm accessing it over a ldap browser, I can see the objects, but can't download the certificate. So here's the question: what's the best way to provide the ldap directory entrys to the users and how it can be implemented? Also how the certificates can be made downloadable via ldap?
Hmm, the way you are doing is right, accessing an LDAP with IE will not work either (I guess..). Did you put the Root-DN of the Server in the Outlok Config ?
Try to debug the LDAP Server and see if you get any usable info. * Does Outlook TRy to connect to the Server * What search string is used * What does your LDAP answer ?Another idea might be mismatching LDAP Protocol Versions (v2/v3), using "Secure" LDAP on one side and not on the other or simply one of these nagging Windows Firewall things.
