[olug] LDAP addresses on Exhange Server

[Brian Wiese]

So you're working a bit with LDAP... how is it going overall and whats the
project?  I'd like to work with LDAP as well (for address books, user
accounts, etc..) at home and for the network I am migrating to gnu/linux
(taking away their exchange soon).  

Sorry I forgot to send you some links on exchange/groupware
replacements... I'll try to do that on Saturday when I go back in.  I only
work a couple hours tue/thur nights and saturday (and missed a few
days/nights for health, weather, appointments), and they're getting antsy
wanting something working in production (migrating 50+ users to do this)
and I'm still finding out what I can (samba shares, printers?) and cannot
(domain trusts, PAM support for samba cracklib or auth) do for the
network.  Sounds like they want me to setup the email server now (samba
pdc domain unfinished) which will take out their Exchange calendaring
functionality... oh well, if I could get OpenLDAP to work for some things,
that would bring a single sign-on a lot closer to the way it was with
Exchange/Outlook.

Kudos though Eric!!  Sounds like you're understanding this LDAP stuff
pretty good, I may have to start hitting you up with questions. =)  Good
luck!

peace
Brian

|Name: nt_le

|Base DN: cn=Recipients,ou=L_ELECTRICAL,o=LESTER ELECTRICAL
|Port: 389
|Bind DN:

|Bind DN is blank

|o is the organization
|ou is the organizational unit which also is the domain that the windows

|cn is just there.  I got lucky with that one by checking the Outlook98

|\\nt_le\LESTER ELECTRICAL\L_ELECTRICAL\Recipients
|
|I then had to shut down mozilla completely including browser, mail, and
|addressbook.  When I restarted mozilla and looked in the addressbook it
|listed nt_le.  I selected nt_le and then typed Eric into the search
|field and my name and email address showed up.  WooHoo!!!!!!!  Good day
|for me.
