Description Frederic Faure 2000-08-18 09:25:30 UTC
Hi,

I've checked the archives but didn't find the answer, and someone in the 
Eudora ng told me it could be a bug from OpenLAP.

I can search for infos on our OpenLDAP 1.2.9-5 running on Red Hat 6.2, but 
I have to change the Search Base field in the Tools | Directory Services -> 
Modify LDAP server -> Search Options, from the default to "o=acme,c=com" 
that matches the data file I've added to the server.

I didn't have to do this at the company where I worked previously, and the 
LDAP server was actually Lotus Domino 4.6a. All I had to do was start the 
LDAP service on the server, and Eudora would let me send queries.

Could it be that Eudora only supports specific types of ObjectClass?

FYI, here's the import file that I used to get started with the server:

# cat import.ldif
dn: o=acme,c=com
o: acme
objectClass: organization

dn: cn=Frederic Faure,o=acme,c=com
cn: Frederic Faure
objectClass: organizationalPerson
sn: FredF

mail: ffaure@acme.com
telephoneNumber: (123) 123-4567

Any hint much appreciated
FF.

This is expected behavior.

Lotus Domino is likely taking a few liberties to support improperly
configured clients.

OK, so there's nothing I can do on the OpenLDAP server to avoid customizing 
all the mail clients running in the company?

Thx
