6.3.2 Searching contacts via the LDAP directory service

MS Outlook allows searching in contacts via the LDAP service. The LDAP directory service

allows searching of user information (email addresses, above all), as well as automatic filling

of addresses in email headers.

Kerio MailServer includes a proprietary built-in LDAP database which can also be used for this

purpose. It is also possible to use any other LDAP database on other servers if available.

It is necessary to set properly the address book where contacts will be searched to allow

MS Outlook use the LDAP service to access contacts stored in Kerio MailServer.

Creating an LDAP directory

LDAP directories can be added in the Tools Account Settings menu:

1.

In the Account Settings window, go to the Address Books tab and click on New (see fig-

ure

6.7

).

2.

This opens a wizard which provides two directory types. Select the Internet Directory

Service (LDAP) option (see figure

6.8

) and click on Next.
