Re: LDAP address book with Outlook

["Graeme Joyce" <openldap-list@jade.co.nz>]

Hi Bob

We've got a corporate LDAP server which our users point their Windows
Address Books at (ie using Start -> Find People...). Most attribute fields
in WAB get populated when you view the properties for a selected entry (ie I
know which attributes in LDAP map to which fields in WAB). So I should be
able to help you....if I could just understand your question?

Objectclass is a bit of a red-herring...I think you'll find, for a single
search word, Outlook (ie WAB) is doing a search like:
 (| (cn=bob*) (sn=bob*) (givenName=bob*) (mail=bob*))

Going on memory here so its probably not exactly right, but you get the
idea. No mention of objectClass. I use access lists to limit user searches
to certain branches (ie they can see entries under ou=people but not
ou=servers)

Like to try again?
Graeme
