Do you know if I can get access to any other fields

The addressbook will display all these if they are populated in your directory:

givenName
sn
cn
mail
telephoneNumber
facsimile
TelephoneNumber
o
title
ou
buildingName
street
l
st
postalCode
c
jpegPhoto
mobile
co
pager
destinationIndicator

If you are asking if it will search on other attributes, the search is always the same:

(|(givenName=Fred*)(sn=Fred*)(cn=Fred*)(mail=Fred*))"



And do you know if the Address Book application will
facility editing the directory, given the appropriate
admin username and password?


No - Addressbook does not update LDAP.

There are other products available that run on OS X and Windows that can do this, or you can use ldapmodify from the OS X command line (all the ldap command line tools are available with the stock OS X)

cheers,
