[SOLVED] Global Address List?

[bokeh]

Hi everyone...

Does anyone know how to sync the Global Address list with a mac?

[danielfarrelly]

could you be more specific?

The global address list is what I meant to say. When using the outlook connector I can see the e-mail addresses of everyone on the server.

well, that depends on a lot of things. i don't know of any tool that work like the Outlook GAL where you can simply view everyone in your domain. but, there are numerous work arounds you can do to achieve the same thing. for instance, let's say you're using Thunderbird on the Mac. assuming you have properly setup your ldap connection(s) on both client and server, you should be able to see everyone by entering two spaces in the search field within the Thunderbird Address Book.

is the LDAP server enabled by default on a zimbra server, how do I configure the server for it. I know we're currently using the LDAP for Active Directory authentication, but how do I use it for the GAL. Is there a zimbra wiki on it or something I could send up to the server guys here because they seem clueless as to how to make it happen.

ldap has to be enabled on at least one zimbra server for authentication. however, it does not need to be used as the GAL. assuming you are using one server for all services (ldap, mailbox, logger, etc.), the setup should be fairly easy.

1. login to the Admin Console
2. go to Configuration>Domains>"your.domain.name"
3. choose Configure GAL from the toolbar and run thru the wizard.

let me know if this works and/or if you have problems with the ldap filter.
