Create LDAP directory for company address book

What is the easiest way to create an LDAP company directory. OSX Server is clear on how to access such an entity, but I cannot find any way to create one and populate it. I have seen some things that require UNIX commands, which I'm not comfortable with.
Thanks,
Matthew

.Mac sync is a wonderful concept. Apparently, it's the only "2-way" sync using webdav out there. Unfortunately, when I came at it with multiple network users overlapping on several workstations, it would not work. The error messages failing to register the client because they were already logged in another computer would not go away.
A less perfect, but very functional solution has arisen. Create a new user on the network named "Mr. Calendar" with a simple password that everyone in my organization can remember. For additions and changes, anyone can log in to Mr. Calendar. We all then subscribe to the calendar with no problems. The only drawback is that fast-user-switching apparently does not allow multiple network users to log in from one machine, meaning that my staff has to log out and log back in whenever they want to change something.

  • 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.

  • Create a Contact on an address book other than the default one

    Hello everyone,
    I am using a professional address book and calendar on exchange provided by my company. I am also using my iCloud account to manage my personal address book and calendar. I have set up my iphone 4S to display both address book and calendar, this works well, same for the sync mechanism.
    When I create an event on my iPhone using the standard calendar app, I can simply indicate whether it is a personal or professional event.
    When I create a contact using the standard contact app, there is no way to indicate wheter it's personnal or professional. The contact is created on the default address book that I setup in the settings. The only way I found is to hide all categories except the personal one and then create the contact. It is then created not on the default address book but on the only one displayed. It is rather awkward and that does not solve all problems : I have some contacts already created by mistake on my professional address book that I want to move to the personnal one. I found absolutely no way of doing that. The same thing for calendar events is straightforward: open the event for modification, simple toogle the appropriate field from Pro to Personal and you're done.
    Does anyone have a hint for this ?
    Thanks,
    Cyril

    Hi sumella, <br>
    I think you should try an Add-on like one of these:

  • I have created a group in my address book, but when I try to use it to send out a group email, only a comma shows up. How do I send out an email using my new group contact list?

    I have created a group in my address book, but when I try to use it to send mail, only a comma shows up. How can I send mail using my new group? I have an IMac with OSLion.

    I will agree with you on this one. Version 31 and all the fixes so far are a mess. Since I have been here answering questions for a little more than a year now I have learned to wait to upgrade until all the dust settles. I see no end to the dust storm version 31 has caused. I am still on version 24.6 and plan on staying there for the duration. At least until the developers comes to their senses and put out a working product.

  • I am trying to create a group in the address book.  When I drag over the contacts from the contact list they duplicate in the address book. I am using "Lion"

    When I try to create a group from the address book, when I drag over the names from the contact list, the names duplicate in the address book.

    Hi cavu10horses,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  This article has instructions for changing a contact's photo using a photo from iPhoto's Faces feature:
    Contacts: Add or change contact pictures
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH11580
    Select a contact or your own card, and then double-click the picture well.
    Select a picture:
    Drag an image to the picture well.
    Click Camera to take a picture.
    If you have pictures in iPhoto, click the Faces button to use a face from iPhoto.
    If the contact is linked (it’s in multiple accounts, but displayed only once in Contacts) and has multiple account pictures, click Linked.
    Click Edit to edit the picture.
    To zoom in and out of the picture, drag the slider. Drag the picture to change which part of it is visible.
    To rotate the picture, hold down the Option key while you click and drag the picture.
    To apply special effects, click the Effects Gallery button and choose an effect.
    Click Done.
    Cheers,

  • "create or select an existing address book contact to represent your data"

    After upgrading the firmware on my Storm, everything seems to be back to the "stupidphone" state, like it just came out of the box.
    I had no idea that would happen; no warning, etc. Trying to send a Blackberry Messenger text to a contact, I now discover I have to scroll through a bunch of EULAs ... probably for every little thing on the phone, from the looks of it.
    I'm trying to get back the Blackberry Messenger contacts I had.
    I have no screen name anymore ... reset that ... OK [grumble grumble].
    No Blackberry contacts. The backup in Blackberry Desktop Manger adds ... nothing.
    So, obviously, the Desktop software is useless, as I did back up everything before I did the update.
    There is some babbling on the screen about some other undefined backup option. When I try to enable that, it says:
    "create or select an existing address book contact to represent your data."
    "Represent"? What in the world do you mean by "represent"?
    And what kind of contact should I be selecting? Some random fool? Myself? Can't Blackberry figure out I want this backed up to something I control?
    Please explain EXACTLY what this "dance around the concept" babbling means. I propose we try the English language.
    Also, how do I get my Blackberry Messenger contacts back?

    1. You only have to accept the EULA once.

    2. That's of no help to anyone who might want to assist you. "Nothing" is correct.
    What does happen? You go to Backup/Restore > Advanced... and what? You do nothing?
    Try over the left hand pane > File > Open > Select your most recent BlackBerry Messenger contact database and restoring it.
    Did you ever backup your BBM contacts OTA or to your Media Card?

  • 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.

    Greetings, and welcome to the BlackBerry.com Support Forums.
    There is a not a function in the native OS to only password protect the Address Book alone, or individual contacts.
    You may password protect the entire device. On your device > Options > Security > General Settings (or Password on some later OS versions).

  • 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:

  • Company address book

    Can I make one person's address book to be seen by all users?
    I mean if I add someone to my address book, I want the same person to appear in the address book of all accounts, like a global address book.
    Can I do that?

    I think what you're looking for is more like a corporate address book than a "personal" address book.
    In any case, what you're asking for just is not in the product. You will have to:
    1. Create your own Directory for global use
    2. Add it to Communication Express in some way, that likely looks similar to the Corporate Address Book.

  • 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!

  • How do I create a group in my address book to send and e-mail to multiple contacts

    can I set up a group in my contacts / address book to send the an e-mail to multiple contacts?
    I have mac book pro & I-pad 2 running latest operating system.
    Thanks

    Yes you can by creating a group and then dragging the contacts in to it. However, since iCloud, the Edit Distribution List feature has been grayed out. Without that feature, it is not possible to specifically select a single email address for those contacts that have multiple email addresses. A major flaw that will hopefully be fixed.

  • How do I create a duplicate card in Address Book?

    I have searched and found plenty of posts on how to FIND, MERGE or DELETE duplicate cards in Address Book...
    - But I want to CREATE a duplicate card. In other words, if I want to create separate cards for 2 married people with the same last name, address and home phone number, is there a fast way to create a second card without having to manually fill in all contact info?
    Also, WHERE does one post Address Book questions? This was just a guess.
    Thanks.
    Robert

    I think I understand your question and if so, this is a decently speedy workaround.
    1) Create your first card with say the husbands name
    2) Go to File > Export > Export vCard
    3) Change the name of the card that is in Address Book to the other person ie. the wifes name
    4) Go to File > Import > Import vCard (shortcut is Command+O)
    5) Now you will have the original vCard you created which is the husbands name and you will have the wife's name as well because you just changed it.
    You can import and export multiple vCards at once so you can create all of them, export them, change all the names, and then re import.
    Hope this helps!
