<h2 id="use-openldap-as-global-ldap-address-book">Use OpenLDAP as Global LDAP Address Book</h2>
|
|
<p><strong>IMPORTANT NOTE</strong>: Thunderbird won\'t show contacts in LDAP address book directly, but it works when you starting typing email address in recipient field while composing email.</p>
|
|
<p>Here we take Thunderbird 5.0 for example. Steps:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Click <code>Address Book</code> in main Thunderbird window. </li>
|
|
<li>In Address Book window, click menu <code>File -> New -> LDAP Directory</code>.</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>In tab <code>General</code>:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>Name</code>: use whatever name you like. e.g. Global LDAP Address Book.</li>
|
|
<li><code>Hostname</code>: IP address or hostname of your iRedMail server.</li>
|
|
<li><code>Base DN</code>: Base dn of your domain in LDAP directory. Normally, it's <code>domainName=domain.ltd,o=domains,dc=xxx,dc=xxx</code>. For example, <code>domainName=example.com,o=domains,dc=iredmail,dc=org</code>.</li>
|
|
<li><code>Port Number</code>: 389. <strong>Note</strong>: If you prefer to connect to OpenLDAP server over SSL, please check the <code>Use secure connection (SSL)</code> under same tab.</li>
|
|
<li><code>Bind DN</code>: It's full LDAP dn of your mail account. Normally, it's <code>mail=user@domain.ltd,ou=Users,domainName=domain.ltd,o=domains,dc=xxx,dc=xxx</code>. For example: <code>mail=john@example.com,ou=Users,domainName=example.com,o=domains,dc=iredmail,dc=org</code>.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>In tab <code>Advanced</code>:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li><code>Don't return more than xxx results</code>: depends on how many accounts stored in same domain, you may want to increase or descrease it. Default value in 100.</li>
|
|
<li><code>Scope</code>: Subtree.</li>
|
|
<li><code>Search filter</code>: <code>(&(enabledService=mail)(enabledService=deliver)(enabledService=displayedInGlobalAddressBook)(|(objectClass=mailList)(objectClass=mailAlias)(objectClass=mailUser)))</code></li>
|
|
<li><code>Login method</code>: <code>Simple</code>.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
</li>
|
|
<li>
|
|
<p>Now switch to tab <code>Offline</code>, click button <code>Download Now</code> to test your settings. It will prompt to input password for this LDAP server, just type password of your mail account. With correct bind dn and password, it will display <code>Replicated succeeded</code>.</p>
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
