Attributes needed for Outlook / Outlook Express in LDAP



FYI,

Ever wanted to know what attributes you need to add to your LDAP server
to support Outlook/Outlook Express clients but couldn't find a list;
read on.

These attributes are the ones queried for by different version of
Outlook. 

Outlook 2K (WorkGroup mode)/ Outlook XP:

commonName
department
display-name
givenName
mail
organizationalUnitName
organizationName
physicalDeliveryOfficeName
postalAddress
2roleOccupant
surname
telephoneNumber
title



Outlook Express:

comment
commonName
conferenceInformation
department
display-name
facsimileTelephoneNumber
givenName
homePhone
homePostalAddress
info
initials
IPPhone
labeledURI
mail
Manager
mobile
OfficeFax
OfficePager
organizationalUnitName
organizationName
otherFacsimileTelephoneNumber
otherMailbox
otherPager
pager
physicalDeliveryOfficeName
postalAddress
postalCode
Reports
street
streetAddress
surname
telephoneNumber
title
userCertificate;binary
userSMIMECertificate;binary


Note:  outlook uses the 'mail' attribute for the email address, some
LDAP server (Netscape) declare this as 'rfc822mailbox'. Linking
mail->rfc822mailbox makes it work.

Note: Outlook 2K/XP does not query LDAP for a users' PKI certificate,
Outlook express does.
