Netscape and Outlook
Hi - I'm trying to use OpenLDAP (initally) as a contact manager
for Netscape 7, Mozilla 1.2, Outlook 200 and XP, and Outlook Express
with the autocompletion feature.
I just installed OpenLDAP 2.1.12 on a Solaris 8 Intel machine (all
paths are avoiding Sun's LDAP software). Then followed the Quick Start
guide to test the installation.
The command
ldapsearch -b '' -s base '(objectclass=*)' namingContexts
yields
dn:
namingContexts: dc=virtualmachines,dc=com
and
ldapsearch -b 'dc=virtualmachines,dc=com' '(objectclass=*)'
dumps everything as expected.
The following schemas are being loaded
include /usr/openldap/etc/schema/core.schema
include /usr/openldap/etc/schema/cosine.schema
include /usr/openldap/etc/schema/inetorgperson.schema
include /usr/openldap/etc/schema/mozillaOrgPerson.schema
include /usr/openldap/etc/schema/nis.schema
include /usr/openldap/etc/schema/java.schema
and the indices
index objectClass eq
Using the LDAP Browser\Editor v2.8.2, I can see the following
directory structure
dc=virtualmachines,dc=com
cn=Manager
ou=People
cn=David Gotz
cn=Ken Simpson
cn=Phil Schumaker
....
Each container in ou=People has with the following object classes:
objectClass mozillaOrgPerson
objectClass inetOrgPerson
objectClass organizationalPerson
objectClass person
objectClass top
with the attribute
mail
The command
ldapsearch uid=ken mail
yields
dn: cn=Ken Simpson,ou=People,dc=virtualmachines,dc=com
mail: Ken_Simpson@VirtualMachines.COM
In Netscape 7, I setup the directory service as follows:
Name: VirtualMachines
Hostname: planck
Base DN: dc=virtualmachines,dc=com
Port number: 389
and under the Advance tab,
Scope: subtree
Search filter: (objectclass=*)
But when I try to use the autocompletion feature of Netscape 7 inside
of mail, I get the following error
LDAP initialization problem
Any ideas on what is wrong?
Any points to FAQs?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
