What file stores the address book?

[lynchanthony43]

I have a need to take the address book and put it into a postgres database for use by another application. What file contains the complete address book and is it accessible as an ascii file?

The best bet would be to have your application make an LDAP call to the scalix server. There really isn't a file that contains that information because it's dynamic.

If you need it as a file, you could dump it out with something like:

omsearch -s -m @ALL-ATTR@ > /tmp/dumpfile.txt

And parse it from there.

Alternately, if you just wanted names, maybe this would work better.

omshowu -m all > /tmp/dumpfile2.txt

Thanks,

I think the command line would be easier to script. I have not done much with LDAP though I think that would likely be a more efficient manner of getting the information I am trying to keep from having the developer write out too much code. If I can take this and stuff it in our db it will be much easier.

Your dev should be fine using tools like ldapsearch. That's common and a straightforward command to use...
