Allow Address Book to connect to LDAP server
That's weird... I have AD LDAP integration using port 389. For Search Base I have: cn=Users,dc=domain,dc=com and for username: jim@domain.com
Allow Address Book to connect to LDAP server
Umm - actually there's a few subtleties in there. Port 389 will respond happily to LDAP queries, however, if you're working in a multi-domain forest port 3289 will respond to Global Catalog queries, thus including responses from other domains outside of your local domain. Port 389 will still work just fine in most instances.
And for the authentication, you can enter the ID in any case you like. I cringe to add this link here, but it's always better to have the right info. http://www.windowsitlibrary.com/Content/716/06/4.html
Allow Address Book to connect to LDAP server
For those interested in getting LDAP runing on OSX and use it to share contact information take a look at AddressBook4LDAP. Address Book X LDAP transfers contact in the background to a central LDAP directory. The manual also contains instructions on getting LDAP (OpenLDAP) running and configured on OS X and OS X server. Currently you can still download the software for free :-)
Address Book can automatically search AD
From Address Book Help:
If your computer is set up to access directory services on your network, Address Book automatically searches the directory services for addresses.So Address Book should see the contacts in Active Directory if you have the computer bound to the Active Directory domain by means of the Directory Access application, making sure to specify that the domain should be used for contacts.
So, my problem is...
How do I figure out where the directory server is? I can connect to the exchange server through entourage, but I've never figured out how to identify the directory server. Putting the exchange server's name in as the LDAP server just gives me a "cannot connect" error.
Allow Address Book to connect to LDAP server
Typically LDAP service should be available on domain controller of your network; ask admin or windows co-workers how it's named.
