The Netscape Address Book client for LDAP
If you have Netscape installed in a Linux workstation or other kind of operating system, you can
use its Address Book feature to access the LDAP Directory Server you have just installed on
Linux and query your directory server for information like you do with the ldapsearch command
tool on Linux.
If you are interested to do that, follow the simple steps bellow:
1
Open Netscape Communicator
2
Go to Communicator menu
3
Open the Address Book
4
Go to File menu
5
Click on New Directory
6
Fill the boxes with your server information
For example:
-
Description: Open Network Architecture
-
LDAP Server: 208.164.186.3
-
Server Root: o=openarch, c=com
Now all you have to do, is to make some queries to your LDAP Directory Server on Linux, by
using the box named Show names Containing: to make your search and clicking on the button
Search For: to get the results.
