How can I query public folder contacts with LDAP Clients?

[Carsten.Jenner]

We need to query Scalix 11 public contacts via LDAP for different foreign client applications like Thunderbird, OTRS
I managed to query the personal contacts
Example with openkdap:
ldapsearch -h scalix.syncope.de -D "cn=Carsten Jenner,o=Scalix" -x -w secret -b 'o=MyContacts'

How can i query contacts in public folders with ldap?

Hi,

The private folder contacts feature is really there to support SWA. Unfortunately it is not possible to search for public folder contacts via LDAP. The only way I can think of is to turn them into SYSTEM directory entries and searched via LDAP in the normal way.

I need to search for all Contacts via ldapsearch as well. Did anything changed in the meantime?

ldapsearch for a certain account contact-list works (ldapsearch -x -h MyHost -z 0 -LLL -D "cn=First Second,o=Scalix" -b'o=MyContacts' -wMyPassword)
What i additionally need:
- The public contacts
- All private contacts of all user (guess i need to use "cn=sxadmin" but have no clue what ldapsearch arguments i need to use to get this information)

i have to use ldapsearch because the query is running on a different system

Thanks

Hi,

same problem here. we need to search public folder contacts via ldap from our ticket system. using SYSTEM works fine but we need public folders because its easier to manage contacts via public folder than via SAC.

any news on this?

thanks

As it seems the public folders/contacts are somehow hidden in datafiles (i can't find them in the database for example) i developed a workaround.
I'm retrieving the public contact list using IMAP and store them in a seperate openldap instance. It's not the optimal solution but it works
