Re: Eudora/Netscape Mail

Hi Orhan,

ThanX for the reply.
Which email address are you referring to ? I tried
"dmiller@airius.com" and password "gosling" and still 
it does not work. The value of "dn" that I can see
in the log file is "". 

They return correct results when I use ldapsearch
for eg.
ldapsearch -L -D "uid=dmiller,ou=People,o=airius.com"
-w gosling -b "o=airius.com" "uid=dmiller". Then I can
see "uid=dmiller,ou=People,o=airius.com" as the "dn"
value in the log.

So, it is not sure to me how Netscape maps the
login/password in address book to "dn" in the LDAP
server.
