Well this is where we both need help from someone else on this list. I am not familiar really with LDAP as a protocol / database as it is but here is what I know:
1) I can use LDP form the Win2K support tools to bind to the Imail service and 'go a-querying'. 2) As long as I set the base dn in the search popup to something like o=domain.tld, I can then set the 'filter' line to an email address in that domain to search for and it will find it ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) 3) If I do not specify the basedn, it will not find ANY results. That said, you get the same type of results from AD queries. You do a base search in AD and it tells you what the default naming context is, you put that in the basedn line and you can they query for your addresses ([EMAIL PROTECTED] or proxyaddresses=SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED]). It'll work every time. The thing they (barracuda) seem to dancing around is that in an AD forest, everything for the most part has one domain to deal with and its subdomains. This is imho the basic flaw in their thinking. If you have more than one base domain to search through, I need to be able to specify by base dn as opposed to 1) them not using it and knowing how to get the query to run w/o it or 2) them reading the defaultnamingcontext property form the LDAP db. Anyone else feel like chiming in on this? (Especially about how queries are to be made, proper order, etc.) ************* Dave Heritage Dave at onx dot cc To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
