So I always seem to lose these settings so I thought I'd blog them so I have them for posterity. Here at the
University there is a
LDAP server for finding people on campus. However, our department falls under a
different group for technology, so sometimes I need to email users on this Exchange system but don't know (or am too lazy to type) their email address.
While a little tricker to do, I was able to configure my Address Book in Mac OS X 10.5 to query Microsoft Active Directory for the users account information. To do this you need to create an LDAP entry with the following settings:
- Name: (whatever you want)
- Server: team-dc5.hc.msu.edu
- Port: 389
- Use SSL: False
- Search Base: dc=hc,dc=msu,dc=edu
- Scope: Subtree
- Authentication: Simple
- User name: (your HIT network username, must start with "MSUFGP\" and then the value)
- Password: (your HIT network password)
