What is the name of LDAP Server in OSX 10.4 server

[trnet]

Hi
I am setting up a OSX server(10.4.1) for the first time using Open Directory. I want to use the LDAP server feature in my Address Book on a client(10.4.1) to connect to my OSX server. Address Book asks for the LDAP server name. Where do I find it?
A hint says my

name:My LDAP Server / server: ldap.mycompany.com / search base: ou=people, o=company

It's the server part

server:ldap.mycompany.com

that I need help with. Can i use just the server's IP address? eg

ldap.211.28.xxx.xxx

or do I need to use the domain name eg

ldap.mycompany.com

because I am not sure I used a domain name when i set it up?(I don't run a web server). Is it called

ldap.?????

by default?

Also help with

search base: ou=people, o=company

would be handy too.

Thanks in advance. I know I sound a little thick!

Ok, first, you have a domain. If your running an OD Master server, you need to have DNS running somewhere and you have a domain, even if it is just an OD Domain.

Name is whatever you want to call the server connection. If your server was called TigerServer, you might put it there.

Server is either the IP or name of your OD server. This could be 192.168.1.1 form or something like a FQDN, like TigerServer.domainName.com/org/edu, etc.

Search base is useful if you have a very large organization and you wish to set a starting point for all LDAP lookups to start at. This is comprised of organizational units, etc.

You won't want to used the address of ldap.xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx (naming + IP), you'll want to use one or the other.
