MS Outlook: What LDAP Attributes Are Recognised?Methodology - Scan disks for files containing the string "objectclass" on the assumption that use of that is a minimum requirement for anything working with LDAP program. - Search around the "objectclass" reference in reasonable-looking candidate files for things that look like LDAP attribute names. At a guess, the following files and their purpose have been found: - WAB32.DLL: LDAP interface? - WABImp.DLL: LDIF import? In the list of scanned files below from which this was assembled, the left-most character prefixing a file name keys to the attribute list below and those attributes found within the file. The result is assumed to show which attributes are supported in each of the scanned combinations ... although how the attribute maps to the Outlook Address Book is covered in the separate FAQ entry "MS Outlook (2): How Do LDAP Attributes Map to Address Book Fields?"
