thanks hmuhammad in relation of your answer on the 24 Apr 2006.
With your instruction I installed Ldap Contacts.
Now I couldn't access the example file neither with Outlook or Thunderbird also if I had tryed every config suggested in
http://server00/server-manager in Contacts page:
"Change LDAP contacts settings and/or update contacts
The LDAP server provides a network-available listing of the user accounts and groups on your server (Local Directory), and additionally, other contacts (Global Directory); these directories can be accessed using an LDAP client such as the Address Book in Netscape Communicator, and also accessed via the Webmail Address Book of your server. Configure your LDAP client to access these directories with the domain (host) name or IP address of your server, port number 389, and the server search base parameter as follows:
Local Directory : dc=local,dc=geam ,dc=
Global Directory: dc=global,dc=geam ,dc=
Both Directories: dc=geam ,dc= Enable or disable the LDAP Contacts service.
Status Enabled
Specify the location of a tab delimited text file containing contacts (Unix or DOS formatted). The first row is treated as column headings and must not contain a contact record. A contact record will be skipped if the Email Address field is empty or badly formatted. The 'Global Directory' is updated with contacts from this file immediately upon clicking the [Update] button (below) and hourly thereafter if the file has changed.
Fully qualified filename
Specify which columns contain the following four (4) required fields. The first column is column 1, the second is column 2, the third is column 3, etc. As an example, the columns numbers for the required fields as exported from ...cough... Outlook 2000 are 2, 4, 6 and 57.
First Name 2
Last Name 4
Organization or Company 6
Email Address 5"
A strange things that I notied is the
http://server00/server-manager in Directory page is that "root parameter shown below" are blank:
"Change LDAP directory settings
The LDAP server provides a network-available listing of the user accounts and groups on your server, and can be accessed using an LDAP client such as the Address Book feature in Netscape Communicator. Configure your LDAP client with the local IP address of your server, port number 389, and the server root parameter shown below.
You can control access to your LDAP directory: the private setting allows access only from your local network, and the public setting allows access from anywhere on the Internet.
LDAP directory access Allow access only from local networks
These fields are the LDAP defaults for your organization. Whenever you create a new user account, you will be prompted to enter all of these fields (they can be different for each user) but the values you set here will show up as defaults. This is a convenience to make it faster to create user accounts.
Default department xxx
Default company xxx
Default Street address xxx
Default City xxx
Default Phone Number xxx
You can either leave existing user accounts as they are, using the above defaults only for new users, or you can apply the above defaults to all existing users as well.
Existing users Leave as they are"
Could you help me one more time?
Thanks in advance
