Re: Connection via Netscape 4.7 on Win98



Hi John,

Netscape normally contacts the LDAP-server on opening the addressbook and
queries a special DN which OpenLDAP doesn't have. I think it's called
DSE-entry. To avoid this change your prefs.js

lock_pref("ldap_2.servers.YOUR_LDAP_SERVER_NAME.vlvDisabled", true);

for more details see
http://developer.netscape.com/docs/manuals/communicator/ldap45.htm search
for vlvDisabled


Regards,
Dirk
