Scalix LDAP to provide Address Book for External Application

[mabadjiev]

I am sure it's possible but don't know how to use Scalix LDAP for external applications to provide the 'SYSTEM' address book.
Any help will be appreciated.

Can you tell us more about your requirements?

If you just need to query the Scalix LDAP server, you can use e.g. ldapsearch -x -h scalixhost -vvv -b 'o=Scalix' '(cn=*)' cn rfc822mailbox

which will give you the cn and the email address.

Cheers,

Sascha.

We need to use the Scalix LDAP for address book with Netscape/Mozilla/Thunderbird.
Is this possible and if 'Yes', how?
Your assistance is greatly appreciated.

In Thunderbird, add a new addressbook of type LDAP. In the options, use

Name: Some name, probably Scalix ;-)
Hostname: the DNS name of your Scalix server
Base-DN: o=scalix
Port: 389

That should get you going.

Cheers,

Sascha.

I've tried to do the same in MS Oulook with no success.

I've added a LDAP address book, but when I'm selecting the recipients of an email message no contacts are displayed (when i click the "TO:" button to choose recipients).

How can i solve this problem?
