Eudora User Manual Using Directory Service Protocols

Using Directory Service Protocols

Protocols are used to access in Directory Services to find information on persons by entering their name, email address, etc. The Protocols section of the Directory Services window lists the directory service protocols available to you to use when looking up indi- viduals via these services.

Eudora comes with four installed protocols.

■Ph

■Finger

■LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)

■Eudora Address Book

Note. The Eudora Address Book protocol does not appear in the list until you have created an Address Book in Eudora.

Click the column heading, Registered Drivers, to sort the protocols alphabetically. Shift-click the column heading to sort in reverse order.

You can resize the column by dragging the divider line to the right of the column heading to the left or right.

The use of the New Database button shown in this section of the window, is described under “Adding a New Database” on page 173.

Using Directory Service Databases

The Databases section of the Directory Services window lists the databases that are avail- able to you for searching for individuals over the Internet, within your company, or in your Address Book.

Eudora comes with these servers already configured by default.

■ldap.bigfoot.com

■ldap.switchboard.com

■ldap.whowhere.com

■ldap.infospace.com

■ldapbiz.infospace.com

■ldap.four11.com

■Eudora Nicknames— or the name of your nicknames file. This last item appears only if you have a Eudora Address Book set up.
