Title: SME 6.0 ldap address book and Outlook
Post by: pwalter on April 03, 2004, 08:30:49 PM

Has anyone had success in configuring Outlook to access the default LDAP address book in SME 6.0? All my attempts to connect have failed. In addition, on the "Directory" panel, there is the following text:

Quote

Configure your LDAP client with the local IP address of your server, port number 389, and the server root parameter shown below.

However, the parameters are not shown "below". I recollect that this information *used* to show up under 5.6. Can anyone provide instructions?

The [search] feature is your friend. Search for "LDAP 389". Be sure to to click on 'Show all results' when the search is completed.

Title: SME 6.0 ldap address book and Outlook
Post by: Anonymous on April 04, 2004, 06:44:06 AM

bobk,

Thank you for your response. I installed Michael Soulier's perl-CGI-FormMagick rpm and it fixed the display problem in the "Directory" panel. However, I still cannot get either Outlook or Mozilla to access the ldap addressbook, and I have checked that the proper "dc=mydomain,dc=com" parameters are entered and that the port is 389. To verify that the ldap database exists, I entered the following command:
# ldapsearch -x -h www.mydomain.com 'objectClass=*'
which, as expected, listed all the entries in the ldap database. After trying to connect from Mozilla or Outlook, the message log contains entries similar to the following:
Apr  3 23:26:50 gateway slapd[22172]: daemon: conn=2 fd=9 connection from IP=192.168.186.2:1715 (IP=0.0.0.0:389) accepted.

Would an ldap guru please explain what the problem might be?
