5.1 Populating the Contact List

At any time, but particularly when you first deploy Bria, you may want to populate the contact list with contacts
from an external source.

Populating from an LDAP Directory

If your system administrator has set up an LDAP directory, you can create contacts from it:

1.

Make sure Bria is configured to connect to this directory (page 64).

2.

From the menu bar choose View > Show Directory.

3.

From the Directory tab, select people, then right-click and choose Add as Contact.

When you have “contacts created from directory”, the contacts are:

Automatically updated whenever the corresponding directory entry changes.

Automatically deleted if the corresponding entry is deleted from the directory.
