Hello Abraham, |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
I have been looking at LDAP myself for ages now, but understand almost |
| 7 |
nothing of it ;-) Anyways, your (first) mail got me thinking to test it |
| 8 |
myself again. I hit the same brick wall you did. It seems that the |
| 9 |
current thunderbird does *not* support LDAP at all (although it does |
| 10 |
present it as an option). I tried from an example on a website (to test |
| 11 |
with their ldap), aswell as random "off-my-head" values but it does not |
| 12 |
append it to the address book. |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
Maybe it's a thunderbird bug, I don't know (I haven't looked yet)? |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
All I'm doing here is confirming your problem, not solving it (although |
| 17 |
I would be interested if there is a solution) ;-) Maybe it requires |
| 18 |
openldap to be installed (I only installed it so far on my server, not |
| 19 |
workstation)? |
