Re: Extending the attributes
As per Openldap FAQ you can use the following fields, I tried it works for
me, But I don't know howto extends the scheme.
You can check with some open source outlook address book project.
I am looking for a Good Web based User Interface to Manager the LDAP data
for Samba, NIS, NFS sendmail etc..
Basically Admin Group user should able to add/modified/delete the entry,
ordinary user should able to change his user profile.
If you find some user interface like this, please let me know
Thanks

==================================
Attributes Map to Address Book Fields?
The following shows the LDAP attribute mappings to Outlook Address Book
entry
Properties determined to date. Outlook seems to be oblivious to
"objectclass"
when retrieving data from an LDAP server, and simply maps LDAP attributes by
name as shown. In other words, assigning an LDAP entry an "objectclass" of
ResidentialPerson does *not* cause the address information to switch from
the
[Business] tab to the [Home] tab.
Refer to FAQ entry "MS Outlook (1): What LDAP Attributes are Recognised?"
for a
full list of LDAP attributes that seem to be recognised by Outlook. Not all
apparently-recognised LDAP attributes are shown below. This indicates a
mapping has not yet been determined. Please feel free to share what you
discover.
The mappings described are based on experimenting with Outlook Express 5,
and
mainly by inferencing from LDAP lookups. LDIF importing has not been
evaluated. Unless otherwise noted, only a single value is retrieved even if
multiple values exist in the LDAP entry.

shown.

When I do a Find query for "rqxwe" using Microsoft Outlook (NOT
Outlook Express), an access log file shows that the request contains the
following search filter:
(&(mail=*)(|(mail=rqxwe*)(|(cn=rqxwe*)(|(sn=rqxwe*)(givenname=rqxwe*)))))
Or, reformatting the filter to make the logical structure more clear:
(&
(mail=*)
(|
(mail=rqxwe*)
(|
(cn=rqxwe*)
(|
(sn=rqxwe*)
(givenname=rqxwe*)
)
)
)
)
The search filter syntax is basically a logical expression in prefix
notation (that is, the logical operator appears before its arguments). The
above filter shows EXACTLY which fields Outlook requires: (1) The mail
attributetype is required by the conjunction operator (2) At least one of
the disjunctions must also be true. Note that a mail attribute containing
the query string satisfies this condition. Importantly, the fact that the
filter uses wildcards also has performance implications. To improve
performace for Outlook clients, you should index data appropriately.
Note: I generated this log using (gasp!) the iPlanet Directory Server.
A similar test could be performed for other commong LDAP clients, e.g.
Outlook Express.

The "Alias" listed in Outlook maps to LDAP's "rdn" (relative
distinguished name) attribute. This may also correspond to the NT login
name.
