Address Book / Corporate Directory server (JES3)

Many of our users are pop and access mail via various browsers. Switching from o=xyz.com to o=xyz.com,o=abc will require users to update their address book "search root" to the new DIT. Is there any way to configure either messaging server or directory server to reconstruct (or redirect) a request made to o=xyz.com to the new structure?

Just wanted to let you know that I did find a solution. Using a smart referral works for this purpose, in that a lookup of o=smart_referral_domain.com allows search (and auto_completion) of user/group mail addresses in the o=x,o=y config.

  • Restore a user's Address Book on Lion Server with TimeMachine available

    Has anybody found the solution to restore a single user's Address Book on Lion Server with TimeMachine available

    I recently needed to restore an older version (by a few hours) of my AddressBook DB (on Lion Client) and Time Machine simply kept crashing!  Finally, what I had to do to get it going was to quit AddressBook, delete the contents of ~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook, and then open that folder within Time Machine (via Finder), so as to only restore (an older version of) the "MetaData" folder within (and nothing else).
    Hope this helps.

  • Address Book and iCal Server backups

    I'm working to implement a company-wide Address Book, iCal, and iChat server via Lion Server where I work, and I've gotten most of the setup figured out (I think), and am approaching the point where I can roll it out to a few users for further testing.  However, before I'm allowed to move forward any further w/ it I have to have two means of backing up in place and ready to be rolled out at the same time as the server—so I'm planning on using Time Machine as one so it does the entirety of the server and its data/settings, but they also want me to do one of the Address Book Server and iCal Server databases individually, like back up the folder the data is, so we can, if ever necessary, import the backup databases to another computer, so we at least have the content, if not the full server functionality.  And, for obvious reasons, it can't be backed up locally. 
    So I'm looking for a means of doing this and would love any input anyone has.  Ease of use/setup is pretty important as this is my first time setting Server up and I've no programming knowledge.  I'm fairly sure I'll be able to find (or write my own, though that's unlikely) or modify and AppleScript that simply copies/duplicates a Finder item, and I know I can have iCal automatically run a script (so I'd just have it run every night at midnight or something), but I have yet to figure out how to get the script to copy the folder to a specified location on a different server (or, for that matter, if it's even possible, though I'm sure it is...right?).  But that's not what I'm trying to ask here...though I certainly wouldn't mind if someone had thoughts on it and wanted to share them !  I just really would like to know which folders to back up, since it's not simply making an archive of the local Address Book.app database.
    And, since I'm already here writing a post, I'll ask one other question that's been nagging at me: in Server Admin.app, with the server (not the services) selected in the sidebar on the left, the Access pane selected in the primary Server Admin window, and Services selected, and trying to dictate which users/groups can access which services, the user can click the "+" in the lower-left corner of the window where added users would appear, and another window pops up next to the Server Admin window that shows a list of the users (and groups if you click the appropriate button).  My question is, why does it show me _krb_anonymous, _krb_changepw, and a total of 81 other items?  I understand more or less what they are (in a very general sense), but why are they shown as users?  More importantly, do they have to be listed there?  Technically I'm probably the only one that's going to be the administrator, and I'll know not to add them or modify them, but I don't want anything related to those items appearing in a directory search in Address Book when I get it set up (as they are showing up now; for instance, one user I created is Sandy, and I have it set to include directory contacts in searches, so on a client machine that is correctly communicating w/ the server (add a user, it appears in a minute on another client machine, and vice versa) if I go to search for that name as soon as I type "s" Sandy, the actual user shows up, but so do five or six other things, all of which are items from the aforementioned list in Server Admin (pretty much anything that has an "s" in it, which of course makes sense)—and that's what I don't want, I don't want the users to search for someone, see something like _krb_anonymous pop up, then think something is screwed up and call me and demand I come fix their computer!).
    Any thoughts, suggestions, and such are more than welcome and much appreciated!
    Thank you to all...

  • Address Book Shared via Server to Client

    Hi guys!
    Do you know a procedure in order to configure and share, Address Book from OSX_Server Leopard to all my clients???
    At the moment, every single client has own addresses.....i want to share address book to all client!
    Thank a lot!
    Simone

    This is a way of getting a company-wide address book with Address Book Server. It's been in this forum on numerous earlier threads, although is not necessarily a supported method by Apple:
    1. Open WorkGroup manager.
    2. Create a new Groups in LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 , for example: group name: managers. Add several users to this group. eg. user1.
    3. Change to "Local Directory" by clicking the "global" icon and click Groups.
    4. Click "view" at the menu bar and select "Show system record". Then you will see "AB Read-Write Groups" in groups.
    5. Click "add". At the top of pullout sidebar, change it to "LDAPv3/127.0.0.1", you will the "managers" group. Drag it into the "AB Read-Write Groups" groups.
    6. Save it. Restart AB service in ServerAdmin.
    7. Open AddressBook.app ( client ). In the preferences account, click add,
    8. Enter user name and password ( eg. user1 ::: see above, which is in "managers" group. )
    9. Enter "http://you-server-address:8800/principals/groups/managers/" in server address.
    10. Click create.
    11. Working.

  • Address Book's Directory Services question

    I have one server running 10.6 server. It's an Open Directory master, with several accounts created in the network node. I'm thinking there has to be a way that Address Book can show contact information of everyone that's managed by Open Directory.
    What I can do now, is search via the search box (in Address Book client) for people managed by Open Directory and their contact information will show up.
    What I can't do now, is click on the created group that should contain everyone's contact information and it show up. So I see zero contacts in the group created by being able to connect to the Address Book server. Any ideas? Thanks.
    Message was edited by: mickey13

    Used to be, maybe OSX server 10.4, that an . would bring up all entries in the directory but that no longer works either in 10.5 or 10.6 server.
    Anyone have an idea?
    Appears that it is only searching fname lname fields

  • Address Book and Exchange Server - NO NOTES SYNCING???

    I have my address book syncing very nicely with my exchange server, but notes do not seem to want to sync. If I create a note on the web access, it doesn't copy to the address book, and none of the address book notes copy to the exchange.
    I can't get an answer out of Apple Support either if they are supposed to sync or not! Has anyone here gotten notes to sync with exchange?
    Thanks so much. I have searched for over 4 hours on Google and these boards, and noone even mentions notes, leaving me to believe that they SHOULD sync.

    Arrgggh! That's a bummer, they could just strip out the notes if they had attachments or something.. or give an error. I have no attachments, and notes are extremely important to me.
    Oh well.. there goes my ability to do away with Entourage!

  • Address Book in Lion Server....Read Only

    Hi,
    Is there a way on how to making the addressbook server read only (meaning can't be edited)?
    Last year, I setup a Lion Server for a company that will serve as an Addressbook server for them and at the same time
    configuring their devices via Profile manager. Problem is every now and then, clients unintentionally sometimes adding address or deleting
    some of the address (phone numbers) in that addressbook resulting to frequent remake of the companies shared addressbook.
    Here is my desired setup:
    An addressbook that only the admin can made a change (add/delete contacts).
    Im looking into LDAP as a addressbook but Im not familiar with it.
    Thanks in advance...

    Did anybody answer back to you yet about how to setup READ/CREATE/EDIT/DELETE rights on the Address Book Server ! We have had poeple in our company ereasing entries on shared address books so many times that we are thinking about switching back to windows.... I mean come on people at apple, these where the basics back in the days of DBase, how can they be missing today... I have trouble comprehending this way of thinking!
    I found this site on the net wich looks somewhat what I am looking for, but this seems to influence the whole server, I need this on address book level though:

  • HT2486 connect address book to connect server

    When I update my contacts on my Connect Server, it doesn't seem to sync with Apple Address Book (Lion).  I'm sure I have the account and server information correct (I'm using the same connections as I use for iCal, which seems to sync nicely).  Am I doing something wrong or does Apple Address Book not sync to Connect Servers?
    Thanks,
    Jeff

    Under Tools (or AppMenu/Options)/Options/Composition/Addressing, make sure "Local Address Books" is checked.
    Another option is to show the Contacts sidebar in the Write window (press F9).

  • Address Book write LDAP server command via terminal or remote desktop

    Hi folks.
    I was wondering if anyone has had any experience issuing an 'address book' setting command, to ADD an LDAP entry, via terminal or remote desktop?
    In particular, I want to "ADD" a new "LDAP" entry for a specific server, on 40 workstations, using terminal or remote desktop, so that I don't have to leave my desk
    I recall that you can issue commands from the terminal, starting with "write"... to add such preferences.
    Any thoughts, ideas, or inspiration?
    Many thanks,
    Derek

    Hi,
    As far as I know, We couldn't use Command Shell as you list to establish a Remote Desktop. You can use
    mstsc /? command to view all mstsc.exe command parameter. We can use the command
    mstsc [<connection file>] to establish a Remote Desktop Connection.
    However, why did you want use command shell to establish a Remote Desktop? It would be more convenient using
    mstsc [<connection file>] command to establish a Remote Desktop.
    If you need further assistance on this particular issue or any other Windows related issue, let us know and we will be glad to assist you.

  • CM 7.1 error when access Personal address book /Corp Directory

    We upgraded the CM from 6.1 to 7.1 and when I access personal address book and Corp directory I get the Same error message "Error contact your Administrator". I have checked the URl adn they look correct. This is on most phones. Some are working fine. 7975, 7941

    This error message indicates that the c:\CiscoWeb\art\art.ini entry still points to the old Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) configuration information. In order to overcome this error message, delete the ART database and reinstall the CAR plugin.

  • Recently we changed the server ip address to Netscape Directory server 4.12.  How do I change the IP address in Netscape configuration?

     

    Hi Marcel,
    There is a technote available describing what to do if the domain has changed on a DS 4.1x:
    http://knowledgebase.iplanet.com/ikb/kb/articles/4770.html
    If there is a change in the IP address only, then there is a perl script coming with DS 4.16 (and SP1) and iDS 5.x called admin_ip.pl and located under <server_root>/shared/bin.
    This script works for all the DS 4.1x and 5.x servers.
    Hope this would help you.
    Cheers / Damien.

  • Address book Sync with Lion Server

    Hello,
    I have set up a Mac Mini with Lion Server and have OD users (no local user on the server). When I login "locally" (using the OD user account), I have my full environment, everything seems to work ok. Also the sync from my iPhone seems to work (only some calendar errors, sync doesn't come up with address book errors). But, as I now have noted, there is not really a sync of the address book. I have an old version of my address book on the server.
    How do I properly set up that:
    - my iPhone syncs with my OD user's address book only
    whereas
    -  central address book is kept on the OD server as well (without any sync)?
    Or did I get something wrong regarding the concept of running an address book on the Lion server ... maybe it's not possible to sync the iPhone to an OD user's address book?
    Best regards,
    Olaf.

    Have you tried rebuilding the accounts in SystemPrefs>Mail, Contacts and Calendars?
    Are the machines bound to the directory?
    Try setting it up in a fresh account on the broken Mac.
    Try setting it up on a different Mac.
    Hope this helps,

  • Need help setting up LDAP server for Address Book

    I've set up Panther servers before for AFP which is pretty simple but now the office I work at wants me to setup an LDAP server so they can share the same contact information, probably about 2,000+ entries. I'm guessing that this will have to be entered in the LDAP server entry by entry.
    I need to know how to setup the server and what settings need to be on the clients' computers, such as in Address Book.
    The server is an older G4 tower and I've got 8 computers hooked up to it on a simple network. I don't think I'll need to make the LDAP server accessible from outside the network but it's something I'll have to worry about for the future.
    Thanks for any help you can offer.
