I hear that ELF is LDAP compliant. Would it take much work for us to be able to use ELF as dec address book for Netscape Mail (upcoming communicator?) MS Exchange is a pain in the butt. But a large company wide address book is nice. I can get the info from ELF but it would be nice to use it directly from the mail client. Alternatively, is there any plans to load a netscape directory server with an ELF feed? Would this be a better plan than asking the ELF folks to do something? [Posted by WWW Notes gateway]

You can configure netscape to use the LDAP server that sits behind ELF,
unfortunately not much info is displayed (eg no email address!), when
you do a lookup.
I have no idea where the problem lies.

| 4562.2 | ELF needs a schema update | PARZVL::ogodhcp-125-112-212.ogo.dec.com::kennedy | nuncam non paratus | Wed Apr 02 1997 20:01 | 10 |
the reason you won't see much info from the Netscape client is that the schemas don't match. The schema defines the attributes and the client and server must agree. I believe the ELF team is aware of this, though I'm not sure how/when it will be resolved (since we have our current clients to consider, also) | |||||
