More precise specification of searched section of the LDAP database enables to access
onlysome types of contacts. Tobetter understand various alternatives, read the following
examples:
cn=jsmith@company.com,fn=ContactRoot
(the look-up will be performed only in folders of the jsmith@company.com user)
fn=personal,fn=ContactRoot (only folders of the user currently connected to the
LDAP server will be searched through. This option is identical with the previous one,
however, it is not necessary to specify username (or email address) of the user. This
option may be helpful for example when configuring multiple clients, etc.)
fn=public,fn=ContactRoot
(only public contact folders will be searched through)
fn=Contacts,cn=jsmith@company.com,fn=ContactRoot
(only the Contacts folder of the jsmith@company.com user will be searched through)
fn=PublicContacts,fn=public,fn=ContactRoot
(only the public PublicContacts folder will be searched through)
Port
Port of the LDAP service. The same port as in Kerio MailServer must be set.
If you want to use the encrypted connection to the server (Use SSL), it is necessary that
a trustworthy certificate is set (for details, see chapter 10.7).
Apple Address Book connects toKerio MailServer by encrypted connection using the LDAP
Start TLS (RFC 2830) extension. It is necessary to follow these steps when setting the
encrypted communication on the Address Book Preferences LDAP tab:
1. enable the Use SSL option,
2. change the default port 636 to the port used in Kerio MailServer for the non-secured
LDAPservice (typically port 389). Incase that you want to use SSL-secured connection
to the server (Use SSL), a trustworthy certificate installed is required.
Scope
This item defines which folders will be searched through. It is recommended to use the
Subtree option where the system searches through all contact folders and subfolders.
