Hi ,

my new project is to create an PHP-Telephonebook for my VIOP-Phones which have an XML Browser.

I would like to access Outlook Contacts from Users bzw Global adress book to show it at the phones and as an addon to input new entrys from Telephone to the adress books.

How can i access this directories at the best way? Are there already such implentations which could be an starting point for developing mine for Aastra 57i IP Phones.

Maybe her is anyone also interested helping me developing this.

greetings

Mysterious

Three ways of doing this, if you are talking about personal address books:

1) LDAP, log in as the user involved and pull the address book via this interface

2) The proprietary REST web API. See the documentation on the Scalix site or go to http://<servername>/api/docs for detail on how to access the mailboxes this way.

3) The new and shiny WebDAV interface in Scalix 11.3. Go to http://<servnername>/api/dav for the root of this. Once you logged in you can see your own folders and see the structure to access things like contacts.

For the SYSTEM address book, the easiest way is LDAP.
