Topic: 6.0b3 and LDAP

[Jim Danvers]

6.0b3 server running.  LDAP made available for world. I cfg'd my mozilla mail client at remote site to see LDAP service @SME box back at the house (6.0 server referred to in this msg) - works like a champ.    So now the question is this:  I have a lot of (most actually) e-mail addresses in various e-mail programs who *aren't* users on my sme box.  Is there a means of publishing (exporting a local mozilla address book for example) addresses to my sme box??  This would be great if I could, because I could then truly have a centralized mailbox.  I know that I can store addresses in the web interface - but I prefer NOT to use that as it isn't nearly as fast as imap.  I ~do~ use it mind you - but only if/when req'd...

.... foot stuck in mouth.  A little searching here turned up some hits...  haven't found a definitive "how-to" yet (if there is one - looking like no though... )  If you know to the contrary - I'm all ears!  

Sorry folks about asking first w/out looking... ( but I am still asking... !   )

Just wondering what you found out so far. I have been following some old tutorials, and generally just thrashing around wildly in the hopes that something will snap in to place

What have you tried so far? I've been working with perl-ldap, but am having trouble getting it to bind to the ldap server atm.

I suspect everyone wants a centralized LDAP contact list...

Ok, so I've been making some progress with this, so far got a LDAP server with a web page that allows you to add more users to it.

I've been using Daniel Tan's HOWTO on the whole thing. I think the main problem I encountered was just how complicated the whole LDAP structure is, so knowing what to type where

Now of course, this is where a new HOWTO might come in handy, so I promise that if I am successful I shall post one... post haste
