Use this property page to enable the GroupWise® Internet Agent to support the LDAP directory standard. With LDAP enabled, the Internet Agent functions as an LDAP server, allowing LDAP queries for GroupWise user information contained in the directory. To configure which GroupWise fields (Given Name, Last Name, Phone, and E-Mail) are visible to an LDAP query, use the LDAP Public Settings page (Access Control tab).
IMPORTANT: For users to perform LDAP searches for GroupWise user information, they need to define the GroupWise Address Book as a directory in the e-mail client. When doing so, they must use the Internet Agent's DNS hostname for the LDAP server address.
Enable LDAP Service
Turn on this option to allow LDAP queries. LDAP service is off by default.
Number of LDAP threads
Select the maximum number of
threads you want the Internet Agent to use for LDAP queries. The default
is 10 threads.
LDAP Context
Use this option to limit the directory
context in which the LDAP server will search. For example, if you want to
limit LDAP searches to the Novell organization container located under the
United States country container, enter O=Novell,C=US.
If you enter an LDAP context, you must make sure that users, when defining the directory in their e-mail clients, enter the same context in the Search Base or Search Root field.
LDAP Referral URL
Use this option to define a secondary
LDAP server to which you can refer an LDAP query if the query fails to
find a user or address in your GroupWise system. For this option to work,
the requesting Web browser must be able to track referral URLs.
