Apple ME178LL/A, MD058LL/A Searching Contacts, Set up an Ldap or CardDAV account, Contacts 175

Set up an LDAP or CardDAV account:

1In Settings, tap “Mail Contacts, Calendars,” then tap Add Account.

2Tap Other, then tap Add LDAP Account or Add CardDAV Account.

3Enter your account information and tap Next to verify the account.

4Tap Save.

When you set up an LDAP account, you can view and search for contacts on your company or organization’s LDAP server. The server appears as a new group in Contacts. Since LDAP contacts aren’t downloaded to iPod touch, you must have an Internet connection to view them. Check with your system administrator for specific account settings and other requirements (such as VPN).

When you set up a CardDAV account, your account contacts are synced with iPod touch over the air. If it’s supported, you can also search for contacts on your company or organization’s CardDAV server.

Searching Contacts

You can search first, last, and company names in your contacts on iPod touch. If you have a Microsoft Exchange account set up on iPod touch, you may also be able to search your enterprise Global Address List (GAL) for contacts in your organization. If you have an LDAP account set up on iPod touch, you can search contacts on your organization’s LDAP server. If you have a CardDAV account, you can search contacts synced to iPod touch, or searchable contacts on a supported CardDAV server.

You can search the first, last, and company name fields. As you type in the search field, contacts with matching information appear immediately.

Search contacts: In Contacts, tap the search field at the top of any list of contacts and enter your search. (To scroll quickly to the top of the list, tap the status bar.)

Search a GAL: Tap Groups, tap Directories at the bottom of the list, then enter your search.

You can’t edit GAL contacts or save them to iPod touch.

Search an LDAP server: Tap Groups, tap the LDAP server name, then enter your search. You can’t edit LDAP contacts or save them to iPod touch.

Search a CardDAV server: Tap Groups, tap the searchable CardDAV group at the bottom of the list, then enter your search.

You can’t edit searchable CardDAV contacts from the server, but you can edit synced CardDAV contacts on iPod touch.

Contacts are included in searches from the Home screen. See “Searching” on page 38.
