But I cannot add persons to that address book. I also asked this on the openldap mailing list, but I had no answer since two days. I read somewhere that Thunderbird requires a special schema to be present on the LDAP server. Anybody out there who could use openldap with thinderbird?
First, OpenLDAP isn't easy to set up; but it's worth the trouble. You should probably move this to the openldap list, or the thunderbird list, since it really has nothing to do with FreeBSD. I have Thurderbird reading my directory, but I haven't worked on getting Thunderbird to write to an LDAP directory. You need to set up your LDAP with TLS and the proper ACLs; and depending on your situation you may want a seperate ou for the address book. Maybe even a seperate ou for each user (ouch). No special schema required, it should read the standard "mail", "phone", etc attributes. Check the LDAP RFCs for a complete list. -- -- Perfection is just a word I use occasionally with mustard. --Atom Powers-- _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
