Search Base Question

[tim.bosinius@gkd-rso.de (Bosinius, Tim)]

I am using an OpenLDAP 1.2.1/Linux Server as company
directory with MS Outlook Express Clients. 
Outlook Express uses the Windows Address Book (WAB) and
I was able to fill most attributes using 
the information at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/sdkdoc/adsi/gluser_53qr.htm	
(I guess you have to use MS IE to see the TOC)

Anyway - this works fine after adding the registry settings under
HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Internet Account Manager/Accounts/OpenLDAP

I specified the LDAP Search Base = "dc=my company, dc=com"
in the Registry as well as in slapd.conf on my Server.

This all works just fine and everyone is satisfied sofar....
Now I was asked if I could add all contacts, customer addresses
and so on in the directory.

Now my question:
How can I do this? I tried changing the suffix in slapd.conf
to
suffix = "dc=org"
suffix = "dc=com"
suffix = "dc=de"

but this still limits the directory cause I would have to add all
domains - so this seems to be the wrong way. How should I add
contacts and customers in the company hierarchie?

Can someone please point me in the right direction ;)

TIA
