MS Entourage enables connection to any number of LDAP databases for contact look-ups. New LDAP can be added on the Directory Service tab in :
Name of the account, used for reference only.
DNS name or LIP address of the computer where LDAP server is running (e.g. mail.company.com or 192.168.1.10).
This option must be used if you want to use the LDAP database in Kerio MailServer since the LDAP server in Kerio MailServer does not allow anonymous connections.
Account ID — user name. When
connecting to the Kerio MailServer's LDAP database, it
plays a role whether the user is created in the primary domain. If the
user is created in a domain which is not primary, the username must
include the domain for the specification. This implies that the
Account ID pattern will be as follows:
user@domain
(jwayne@company.com
). If the
user is created in the primary domain, simply use the user
(jwayne
) pattern for the specification.
Password — user password
Specify a location of contacts in the LDAP database (see above). If the entry is not specified, all subscribed contact folders will be searched through.
If you want to access all private and subscribed shared and public folders, leave the entry blank or enter
fn=ContactRoot
More precise specification of searched section of the LDAP database enables to access only some types of contacts. To better understand various alternatives, read the following examples:
cn=wsmith@company.com,fn=ContactRoot
(the look-up will be performed only in folders of the
jsmith@company.com
user)
fn=personal,fn=ContactRoot
(only folders
of the user currently connected to the LDAP server will be searched through.
This option is identical with the previous one, however, it is not necessary to
specify username (or email address) of the user. This option may be helpful for
example when configuring multiple clients, etc.)
fn=public,fn=ContactRoot
(only public contact folders will be searched through)
fn=Contacts,cn=wsmith@company.com,fn=ContactRoot
(only the Contacts
folder of the
jsmith@company.com
user will be searched through)
fn=PublicContacts,fn=public,fn=ContactRoot
(only the public PublicContacts
folder
will be searched through)
