Non-public LDAP in Address Book

Hi All,

I want to have my address book access a non-public LDAP directory. I have the needed credentials for the search but have nowhere to add in the credential bindings (at least not in the address book LDAP configuration). Is there somewhere else that I should look?

Grins,

What kind of credentials? When you set up and LDAP search you can give it stuff like c=US. Is that what your LDAP server requires?

Rob,

I have full credentials for doing an LDAP search. I use a distinguished name in the form "cn=memyselfi,ou=mygroup,o=myorg" and a passwrord. In using the ldapsearch command my syntax is as follows:

ldapsearch -D "cn=memyselfi,ou=mygroup,o=myorg" -w mypass -b "ou=People,o=mycompany,o=myorganization" -s sub "(objectclass=*)"

This will return all of the People in mycompany. In the LDAP setup for address book, I can specify the Bind address and the search level (-b and -s) but not the distinguished name or the password (-D and -w). Is there a system wide preference for setting those? When I check the log of my LDAP server I find that the search is performed without binding first to a distinguished name. I don't have the option of making the LDAP searchable without authentication.

Thanks,

SH
 
Oh, I see. I think. I was thinking that maybe the username and password were sent (insecurely) through a u=foo,p=myfoo kind of binding along with the c=US etc.
