Hello,
I'm having problem configuring Global Adress Book to be read by everyone? I have to setup in Outlook Plugin Directory Manger with it's password to be able to read global adress book in my outlook. WHen i setup someone else's login it fails to connect and gather data. Can anyone tell me the way or where to look for info about this? So i can set it up correctly?
Hi,
Are you able to verify what the outlook connector is trying to search for? Have a look at the access logs for the directory server which the outlook connector is pointing to (search for connections related to the PC that outlook connector is installed on).
If you can work out what the connector is searching for/binding as it should help to work out what is wrong and therefore what you need to change.
Cheers,
Shane.
In the properties for your Outlook folder > Advanced go to the Global Address List tab.
Check "Use alternate user account"
Enter your user's full DN
like uid=jsmith,ou=people,o=acme.com
along with your password
That will work.
Ah, and depending on the version of Outlook 2000 you may need to adjust the search base to include ou=people or not... but that's another issue.
Each user should have his/her own id/password. If you cannot bind to the LDAP server it's probably because of one of the following reasons:
Wrong ldap server address:port
Wrong user id
Wrong user password
You can look at the ldap logs to see if you're even hitting the server. If you are, the logs will tell why the connection is failing.
