OK, combining everything I read from all the docs, and using this particular quick start example: OpenLDAP Software 2.3 Administrator's Guide: A Quick-Start Guide

I got here:

# See if it works.
Now we're ready to verify the added entries are in your directory. You can use any LDAP client to do this, but our example uses the ldapsearch(1) tool. Remember to replace dc=example,dc=com with the correct values for your site:

ldapsearch -x -b 'dc=example,dc=com' '(objectclass=*)'

This command will search for and retrieve every entry in the database.

You are now ready to add more entries using ldapadd(1) or another LDAP client, experiment with various configuration options, backend arrangements, etc..

My search returns all the test data entered so far (as per this quckstart guide).

So, I'm guessing that in order to add addressbook entries, I create an ldif file with a ou branch for my addressbook entries, followed by each entry formatted like this:

dn: cn=Jane Doe,ou=TenonUK,dc=capesafe,dc=com
objectclass: person
objectclass: organizationalPerson
objectclass: inetorgPerson
givenName: Jane
cn: Jane Doe
sn: Doe
mail: jane.doe@mymail.com
telephoneNumber: 410-555-1212
fax: 410-555-1214
mobile: 410 431 5341
title: IT MANAGER
physicalDeliveryOfficeName: Stockholm

Then, all I do is point Zimbra external GAL to the ou?

If that is all I have to do next, then also: How do I determine what to use in order to add street address, city, state (or province) and country?

All the assistance you've provided so far has been an enormous help in trying to understand what's required to get this rolling. Thanks so much!

We really need a Zimbra oriented tutorial on getting this done.
