Outlook 2003 and invisible address book

[jschlier]

Hello,
after installing OpenLDAP und I added some address records. Unfortunately the records don’t appear in the address book. But the addresses can be found with the search function. Why do they not appear in the list?

I had this same issue as well when setting up an LDAP directory in OpenLDAP.

Have you found a solution yet?

Depends on the client you are using - even Microsoft's clients handle the address book differently.

Outlook should - by default - return all entries that match (&(mail=*)(cn=*)) in a subtree search under the search base you provided during configuration. It should do this when you open the address book for that directory.

Things that would prevent ALL the entries being listed might be: no matches, client side timeout (configurable in the address book), server side timeout (though you would see a partial list of results).

Outlook Express doesn't execute a search until you execute the Find People tool

Thanks ldap4u.

I'll give this a shot when I come back to work. Have to start from scratch since I've moved on to test other things, but this would be worth checking it out again!
