Access to Directory Services From Mac

Courtesy of Clay:

You can continue using your favorite mail program and still have access to the global listing of student, faculty, and staff e-mail address with a minor configuration in your mail program. Below, I have listed the steps needed to be taken in two programs. If you would like to see other examples, post back to this list by send an email to uismac-l@uis.edu or email me at cbell1@uis.edu and I will post those as well.

Steps for Entourage 2004

Go up to Entourage and open Account Settings.
Click on drop-down arrow to the right of New and select Directory Service...
Enter a name for Account name and enter “et-ldap.uis.edu” in the space for LDAP server
Click on Options at the top and enter “ou=people,dc=uisad,dc=uis,dc=edu” in the Search base
Just hit OK

Steps for Apple Mail

Open Address Book and up to Address Book open Preferences and click on the LDAP icon
Click on the “+” in the lower, left-hand corner
Enter a name in the Name field and “et-ldap.uis.edu” in the Server field
For the Search Base, enter “ou=people,dc=uisad,dc=uis,dc=edu”
Just click Save

At this point you should be able to use either Entourage (through Tools:Directory Services) or Apple Mail to look up a users email address.
