In this version, Kerio MailServer supports search in the Kerio MailServer LDAP database. The option of search in LDAP database allows automatic check for email addresses during message composition in Apple Mail. All addresses included in the LDAP database (addresses of all Kerio MailServer accounts) are checked.
Apple Address Book parameters can be set under :
Switch to the LDAP tab
Specify the Server item with theDNS name or the IP address of the host where Kerio MailServer is running and the LDAP port for the server.
SSL-secured LDAP can be used for the traffic. However, in such a case it is necessary to authenticate by a trustworthy certificate (for details, refer to chapter 9.8 Secure communication of Kerio MailServer with MS Entourage). Apple Address Book connects to Kerio MailServer by encrypted connection using the LDAP Start TLS extension. It is necessary to follow these steps when setting the encrypted communication on the tab:
enable the Use SSL option,
change the default port 636 to the port used in Kerio MailServer for the non-secured LDAP service (typically port 389). In case that you want to use SSL-secured connection to the server (Use SSL), a trustworthy certificate installed is required.
In this version, searching is available only for public contact folders with anonymous read access (the “anyone” user).
