I did the original input of the Netscape schema from the documentation from Netscape and gave it to them for the v2 LDAP protocol. For v3, they had to add the OIDs back in, but the schema for everything should have been the same. Historically, Netscape Directory Server (the Netscape LDAP implementation) has had substructure schema elemenets that were used by the client when doing the writes to the LDAP directory. I'm pretty darn sure that Kurt (Zelinga; founder of the OpenLDAP project, based on the UMICH code and my patch collection, back at the start) added the Netscape compatability stuff into the OpenLDAP server as vendor extensions in order to support the calendaring and scheduling component of the commercial Communicator product. You should see the "quick start" guide; the FreeBSD ports system means you need to start at step #8: http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin/quickstart.html Personally, I use it for directing email and for resolution of IMAP4 servers with an IMAP4 proxy to permit load scaling for email. I've done the "address book thing" before, as well, but you should not that not just anyone can write data to the address book, unless they ar configured as a roaming user, and have write permission to the user section of the LDAP tree (you will need to write scripts to set this up). Probably the mailing lists are your best bet, since the documentation is lagging (I personally dislike the format of the FAQ-o-matic, but that's just my own reason for not updating the docs). See: http://www.openldap.org/lists/ You might also want to look at the LDAP books written by Howes, and the IBM REdbook, which is actually very good; see: http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/75.html There are also some web sites and online articles: http://www.openldap.org/faq/data/cache/73.html -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
