Title: LDAP Address book
Post by: cyberjuls2 on May 06, 2008, 12:31:19 AM

Hi,

searching how can i get all my contacts from outlook into ldap on my sme so that anyone can get access to it.

I know that having a read/write ldap is more or less impossible.

Anyway, just having read access is enough if i can reimport quite simply contacts from outllok to ldap. Our mail directory is not moving that fast.

Did you really use the forum's search function?

However, have a look at this thread:

Man,

i've search all the forum more than twice and read all the posts about ldap. There is No clear answers.

I'm looking froward if there any option. By the way does anyone know if this is planed to be supported in v.8?
I think i'll go for a specific http/mail/ldap server based on another distribution. seems to be a better option for the moment.

HI

it's not a sme related issue: find e try a method to export contacts from outlook to ldif..

then you can inport ldif file in ldap.. naturally via commnad line interface commands

Ok found something that is working.

my main mistake came from the fact that i tought that ldap was dedicated to sme account managment. i was wrong, just add an "organisational unit" (ou on ldap) named adress or whatever and send your ldif contacts here under.

i used the phpldapadmin contribs, that's really easy with that and my sme is now really working nice as an ldap server.

Now the main difficulty is to convert my outlook contacts to a compatible ldif file.

Hi Cyberjulz,

Could you please clarify if this enabled write access also?
I currenty need to implement a centralised address book, LDAP would be ideal!  :smile:
