openldap: making clients (ie netscape, outlook, etc) happy.
Righto, made the thing compile - thanks to Rasmus. Something I probably
would have worked out with all that time I don't have at the moment.
Most appreciated.
Now, I have set up the sample organisation and person, as per the slapd
administrators guide, and ldapsearch returns a sane response, BUT when i
point netscape, outlook, etc. at it they barf with errors like LDAP
error: no such object (0x20). I take it there is a list of things one
should (must?) have to make LDAP clients happy, and then things above
and beyond that are optional. Perhaps someone would care to enlighten me
as to what I should list to keep these clients happy? Maybe the problem
is elsewhere?
I extracted this from Netscape
(http://help.netscape.com/kb/client/980424-8.html) and will be adding
these fields shortly to see if it fixes the problem.
