I am in the process of configuring an LDAP server to work with my pop server (MDaemon). I am trying to expand the functionality of the LDAP server but I don't have a lot of knowledge on the subject. All I want to do is add attributes to the users that will allow me to add Company, Fax Number, and any other information that Outlook could pull from it. Any help or a good wesite would be appreciated./

AFIK, the outlook client uses an "object class" of "inetorgperson" so if you populate those attributes in your LDAP entry with attributes from that object class, you will be able to see it. The company is attribute "ou", and the fax number is "facsimileNumber (or something like that). You can get good information by going to the openLDAP site, or searching for objectclass (there is always the "rfc" route. I find the best way of modifying the LDAP entries, and seeing just what is in there is to use one of the freebie LDAP clients, such as browser28 (google that one). it is not supported by anyone anymore, but it works just fine. good luck
