7.6. Configuring Your Company Directory
Your SME Server will automatically create a company directory and update it as you maintain your e-mail accounts. The next chapter explains how to configure this service. Any client program that uses LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol), such as the address book in Netscape Communicator, will be able to access the directory. For example, with Netscape, look under the "Communicator" menu and choose "Address Book". Then look under the File menu and select "New Directory". You will see a dialog box similar to the one shown here.
You will need to enter the following information:
- Enter the name you wish to give your company directory - any name will do.
- The LDAP server is the name of your web server, in the form www.yourdomain.xxx.
- The Server Root information can be found on the "Directory" screen in your server manager (more information on this is available in the next chapter). The usual form, assuming your domain is yourdomain.xxx, is dc=yourdomain,dc=xxx . (No spaces should be entered between the "dc=" statements.)
- The Port Number is always 389.
Once the address book has been created, Netscape can display a list of all e-mail accounts if you type an asterisk into the search field and press "Enter".
