ACI for corporate address book search

Hi,
I am using IDS52 and IMS52. My exisiting domain is abc.com. Due to certain circumstance, I have created another domain called; xyz.abc.com under the same messaging server. I do not want users from abc.com to see xyz.abc.com email address when they do a corporate address book search using their email client, eg:outlook express.
I have created one aci under xyz.abc.com
(targetattr = "*") (target = "ldap:///o=xyz.abc.com,dc=abc,dc=com") (version 3.0;acl "test";deny (read,search) userdn != "ldap:///o=xyz.abc.com,dc=abc,dc=com??sub?(objectclass=inetOrgPerson)";))
Using this aci I am not only block people from abc.com to search xyz.abc.com address. In fact, people in xyz.abc.com also blocked from searching the address under their domain.
Can somebody help me, is there anything wrong with my aci? How should i rewrite it? Please help!! Thank you

Hi Jim,
I was able to reproduce this on IWC 137631-10 (latest patch).
This is related to an existing bug, which is not fixed yet:
Bug 6795529 Corporate address book - no VLV index: search by firstname/lastname/email doesn't work
According to the developers, if VLV is not enabled in IWC, IWC/Convergence will only search by displayname (even if the user chooses lastname). The bug fix is to NOT display the options to search by lastname etc, if VLV is not enabled.
The search by lastname works for me after I enable VLV in IWC, as described in the IWC admin guide:

Searching Corporate Address book in Convergence 1u3

It appears that searching by surname in the corporate address book is not working in our deployment of convergence: display name and and uid works. This is the value in our iwc config
ab.corpdir.[default].searchattr = entry/displayname,@uid,person/surname
Is that correct, if not what should I set?
TIA,
Dan

Thanks; It appears I had VLV indexes configured on the DS but forgot to set it in convergence
Cheers

Address Book Search

Here's the thing .... say I need to find a contact within a particular company but I don't know the contacts actual name .... say I need to find the HR manager at Company X.
I do a search on Company X .... I get a list of contacts that I have created in that company ..... but all I see is their names .... I can't see their job title or department or anyother indicators that I have created until I actually click on individual cards . This is seems very limited to me ? Am I missing something or else I can't possible be the only person thinking this way ? Any advice welcome, many thanks

I shouldn't have said search. I should have said view. The corporate address book can be viewed and sorted by hitting one of the letters under the search. This is what I believe is based on display name. I have confirmed that by adjusting the cn of 'First Last' to 'Last, Frist' on one user and it did allow me to do what I was referring to. When I click the letter of the last name now the user appears.
Is there any detriment to adjusting the CN for a user in this manner?

MS Exchange Mail Profile has address book search issues

We have recently upgraded to
OS X Mountain Lion and configured successfully Mail profile for MS Exchange server 2010. Emails send and receive has no issues. But address book search does not work, e.g. while composing Email, we write last name of the contact, which should show me possible contacts in the address book. But that is not happening. I know the contact is there in my Exchange address book. But it simply does not show up in compose mail To: dialog box with last name written.
Pls help me over come the issue urgently.
Thanks

Same type of problem here, although I'm not sure about the precise error messages.
I have 3 machines, and have tested two of them on the corporate network with the exchange server, but that did not really improve anything but my frustrations.
It seems that Mail can be set up with the auto-discovery feature plus a few extra things from our IT guys, as the auto-set-up function is not really enough to get things working here. I wonder if that is the reason why SL cannot make things happen by itself, since I also have to enter some settings manually when trying to get MS Entourage to work, e.g. the full address to our "Exchange server" which is something like: mail.domain.dk/exchange/[email protected]
I'm really sorry to have to say this, buy having 3 separate apps (iCal, Mail and AdressBook) does not seem to make things easier to set up, while once you get Entourage working then everything is set, although one has to live with awfully designed user-interfaces.
Another thing that the MS app is asking for, which can not be set anywhere - to my knowledge in Mac apps - is "Domain" which for some reason at my company is not the "mail-server" name but another name. I guess that to get the Mac app's to really be working smoothly in the Exchange servers, we need to have the same options for entering site-specific information (as the domain name).
One interesting thing in all this is that my iPhone has been working flawlessly for a year now, and does not seem to have any issues with the Exchange server.

Customize Convergence Address Book Search Field to Search on Organization

We have a requirement for users to be able to search the corporate address book by organization. Is it possible to add a Organization option to the search filter drop down in the Address Book browser page?
Currently there are only options to search on the following attributes:
1. Display Name or Email
2. First Name
3. Last Name
4. Phone Number
We are using Convergence 2-0.06
Thanks!

This solved it for me: https://discussions.apple.com/message/15788900#15788900

Messenger Express: How do I add the Directory Server to the address book search tool?

In Messenger Express (ME) how do I add the Directory Server (DS) to the address book
search tool?
<P>
Edit the globals.pl file. Look for a line similar to: <BR>
@dirservers = ('MyCompany::phonebook.foo.com::o=FooCorp.,c=US','Four11 Directory::ldap.four11.com::');
<P>
Add an entry to the list. The list is comma delimited and each entry is a
string. The string contains three fields, delimited by a double colon (::). The
first field is the name you want to appear in the User Interface (UI). The second is
the hostname of the DS and the third is the Distinguished Name (DN) to use when searching.
<P>
Please note, Messenger Express is part of the Messaging Server. For more
information on Messenger Express, please see the release notes at
http://home.netscape.com/eng/server/MExpress/relnotes.htm

You can't add a new contact to specific group and there is no app for this. 3rd party apps don't have access to private iPhone APIs with security concerns being a primary reason, which such a function would require.

LDAP address book search slow

Hi,
I am using the LDAP server on Mac OS X Server 10.4 to store our corporate address book which is updated from a php based admin. The amount of contacts is around 700 now and searchs from Apple Addressbook are taking nearly 10 seconds. Is there a way of speeding this up hopefully to below 2 seconds?
I don't know much about LDAP and have been trying to reindex the database by stopping LDAP and runnign slapindex, but this doesn't seem to have made a difference.
Many Thanks

I have solved my problem. I don't think the indexing was a problem. I was running on 10.4.3 and had a process called nano using my processor at 100%. I noticed this and upgraded to 10.4.6 server which has cured the problem and now the LDAP search is almost instant.

Lion address book search

lion address book search no longer works - it did a few days ago.. any ideas how to fix?
have just made spotlight reindex the disc. no joy.

Barney 15E has a fix:
If you have MobileMe or any other syncing of your contacts, turn it off.
Open Address Book and archive your Address Book (File, Export, Address Book Archive).
Close Address Book
Go into your user/Library/Application Support/AddressBook folder and delete the addressbook.abcddb file.
Start Address Book and see if all is ok.
If so, turn syncing back on if appropriate.
I don't know if this will work for your problem. I haven't seen those errors, but I haven't looked for them, either.
The addressbook.abcddb is database that indexes the contacts that are stored in the metadata folder. If that gets corrupted, you'll see things like you describe. Address Book will recreate it when you delete it.

Problems with Advanced Address Book Search

Recently was running TB 24.2 under Ubuntu 12.4. All ran great, except could not search the Notes field in my address book. Got help from this forum and installed MoreFunctionsForAddressBook. This made the Notes field available for searching in the Quick Search window and in the Advanced Address Book Search dialog box (Edit > Search Addresses). Problem solved!
Now have upgraded to TB 31.2.0. Quick Search window still works fine, including searching the Notes field. However, the Notes field is no longer listed in the Advanced Address Book Search, AND the Advanced Address Book Search does not work at all. I get zero results for any search on any field.
Is the Advanced Address Book Search broken in TB 31.2.0? If not, any ideas on what I might have set up wrong to keep it from functioning? Any diagnostic I could run?
Also, does MoreFunctionsForAddressBook no longer add fields to the Advanced search?
I have worked on this for hours, with no luck. Suggestions are welcomed.

Toad-Hall ---- Thanks very much!!! I completely missed the new version of the plug-in. I upgraded TB to v 31 and wasn't bright enough to think about the add-on compatibility.
With MoreFunctions 0.7.1, my Advanced Search (Edit > Search Addresses) now has a lengthy list of search-field choices, including the Notes field. This is a life saver for me, since that's where all my keywords are.
You really bailed me out on this one! Many thanks.

Secure LDAP for GWIA Address book

I've setup the GWIA 7.0.3 May 2009 code set and configured for Secure LDAP.
I'm using the same *.b64 and *.key files we use for all our POA and MTAs.
I cannot get the Novell LDAP address book to connect to 636.
Is there a document I can use to help me figure this out.
I can revert to 389 but that port is not open through the firewall.
Mike

POP and IMAP both work on secure port

Address book searching failures revisited

I tried the solution given here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=6992129
However, if I type "rag" in the address book search field, it finds two contacts without highlighting any string within them. Furthermore, I can't see "rag" there.
Any explanations?

Wow. Worked perfectly! I noticed I started to have this problem after the 10.5.2 update.

Where is the data file for the address book located, I need to restore mine from backup but don't know where it is.

Where is the data file for the address book located, I need to restore mine from backup but don't know where it is to do so. Putting my Mac Pro onto icloud synching contacts resulted in duplicate and triplicates of the same cards. I have a few THOUSAND contacts and the last time this happened was on mobile me. that had a function where you could replace info on the mobile me server with info on the computer. I see no way to do that on the new cloud.

In the stupidly hidden user's Library->/Application Support/AddressBook/ labeled as AddressBook-v22.abcddb
For TM restores, see Pondini's TM FAQs for starters, since I don't use TM.

Looking for bright ideas for moving address book from MacBookPro that can't be upgraded from OS 10.5.8 (big bummer!) to iCloud and iPad2

Have you tried exporting the contacts from address book on your mac to your desktop and importing them into the iCloud contact file using the import command from the menu when you select the gear icon.

Smart Search for 'Ungrouped" Address Book records

Is there a way to create a group in address book of those records that do not belong to a group?

But if you want I have a script to do it. Make a group called Special (or whatever - change the script to suit) and run it. It will display all those it found in Script Editor's result pane.

click here to open this script in your editor<pre style="font-family: 'Monaco', 'Courier New', Courier, monospace; overflow:auto; color: #222; background: #DDD; padding: 0.2em; font-size: 10px; width:400px">(* Group Contacts with no group *)

SSL Certificate setup for Web/Address Book/iCal in 10.7 Lion?

I know nothing about certificates. I plan to use my Mini server to help manage my family's computers which are pretty spread out across the U.S. My plan is to use profile manager for device management, host a couple websites (one secure for home security cams) and share address books and calendars. This is as much a geek gadget project as it is "useful" so I understand I may be creating some work for myself
Anyway, can someone walk me through the correct setup for certificates? My research is showing me a LOT of options/parameters. Due to the expense, i don't want to create one just to find it won't serve my purposes.
Also, I think i'm going with RapidSSL...$50 is the cheapest I've come across...hopefully the offer what I need?

I have just spent 30 minutes on the phone to a pleseant chap in Athens, and now have a solution.
We tried several options and the final one worked - so simple.
Click on the apple symbol > system preferences > iCloud > disable contact sync > keep contacts
Check search, in my case it worked for the first time in several weeks :-)
then re-enable contact sync as follows:
Click on the apple symbol > system preferences > iCloud > re-tick contacts > merge contacts
Search still works
Hallelujah!
