How do I hide a directory entry from the system address book?

Before beginning, understand that hiding system directory entries is not a common practice.

1) Use the ommodent command to modify system directory entries.

2) There are two arguments to pass: Use the –e switch and a subsequent unique identification key followed by the second argument, which always is –n EX-CDA-DIRECTORY=1.

For example:

  ommodent -e “common-name=Smith, John N” -n EX-CDA-DIRECTORY=1
  ommodent –e jnsmith@xyzcorp.local –n EX-CDA-DIRECTORY=1

Where jnsmith@xyzcorp.local is the authentication ID of John N Smith.
