Re: Address books

hi,

It's not too complicated, but seems that way at first. Once you get
the hang of it it's not so bad. Also get ldapbrowser, it is a Java
base graphical browsing (and modifying) tool that helps.


Add a top level entry:
dn: ou=Contacts, ou=People, dc=yourdomain, dc=com
ou: Contacts
ou: People
objectclass: organizationalUnit
objectclass: domainRelatedObject
associatedDomain: yourdomain.com

Add a person:
dn: uid=jason@yourdomain.com, ou=Contacts, ou=People, dc=yourdomain, dc=com
mail: jason@yourdomain.com
cn: Jason X. Yyyyyy 
uid: jason@yourdomain.com 
o: Jason Corporation Inc.

givenname: Jason
sn: Yyyyyyy
objectClass: person
objectClass: top
objectClass: inetOrgPerson
objectClass: organizationalPerson
objectClass: officePerson

Now go setup Outlook. The URL Brenda gave you lists all the attributes you
can use for Outlook, and the netscape specific ones.

If you don't have People setup, then add this to the top:
dn: ou=People, dc=yourdomain, dc=com
ou: People
objectclass: organizationalUnit
objectclass: domainRelatedObject
associatedDomain: yourdomain.com

The People and Contacts can be in one ldif, put the person in a 2nd ldif.
You must setup People before Contacts.

In outlook you would set the search domain to dc=yourdomain, dc=com.
Outlook will search the whole database like it or not. You must modify
the registry if you do not want this.
