Global Address book privacy

Hi,

Is there a way to configure some users to not show up in the global address book in uwc, messenging express, and in outlook (with the connector). We have some people at our site that require privacy and do not want to be listed for all to view. Of course they still would want full mail functionality. If anyone has done this or knows how, any suggestions would be great.

Thanks,

Darren

Hi,

For UWC and Messenger Express you could modify the interface to use a search which excludes certain users (e.g. if they have the attribute privateuser: true).

For Outlook/outlook connector though this makes things a little more complex. What you need to do is to 'hide' users from anonymous directory searches e.g. ldapsearch -h <directory host> -b <org base> uid=<private user>

This can be achieved by creating a directory ACI that stops anonymous searches from returning entries that contain privateuser: true or something along those lines. This is a better question directed at the directory forum though.

Regards,

Shane.

There is no "configuration" file to do this in. You may want to examine the "customization guide" for a place to start. http://docs.sun.com/app/docs/doc/819-2662
