Address Book X LDAP

The Address Book X LDAP suite provides a set of tools to share contacts and address book information using a central LDAP directory on the network. The use of LDAP allows many other tools such as Thunderbird and Outlook to access the shared contacts. This is the key factor which distinguishes it from other solution. Within the suite are a number of tools which allow the publishing of contact to an LDAP server as well as several client which provide read-access. Mail and Address Book already have support for an LDAP directory and integrate seamlessly with this suite.

Please take a look at the Getting Started Guide for a overview of the configuration steps.

Furhter installation instructions are included in the Online Manual, which also includes information on getting LDAP up and running.
