Hello,

Roland, I'm with you all the time, tell me when are you going to start
that, I'm going to give any help that I can give.

Indeed, I need a LDAP addressbook with that kind of function.
Unluckily, I'm not that good on writing Program (Don't ask me to look on
mozilla source code, it will take me years just to understand how and
what it is all about)

But I've see the LDAP C SDK, it seem that using it to build the LDAP
addressbook Write will be easy.

Thank You.

| Hi,
|
| let me summarize that: If we can't build "the perfect" write enabled
| LDAP based Addressbooks leave it.
|
| Reason:
| There are some large companies which couldn't use this feature due to
| their LDAP structure restrictions (DIT, Schema,...)
|
| I agree!!
| There might be some mid size companies (~ 2000 people) which where able
| to achieve a single personal address source which is LDAP based and have
| restrictions making it "Mozilla compliant"
|
| I don't agree!!
| that it would affect the majority of Mozilla users who wants to maintain
| a shared address book.
| Large companies (> 50'000 people) have anyhow multiple places (synced or
| not synced) where they maintain personal information. Belief me, I know
| that. They have even multiple LDAP servers for similar purposes. One as
|  general address book, one for PKI (Entrust), one for Microsoft client
| and server authentication (MS Active Directory), one for Web server
| access control, one for UNIX authentication, ...)
| It's a pity we don't live in a perfect world.
| Imagine this company would use Lotus Notes as their Corporate Mail tool
| - they would have to maintain a Lotus Notes Directory service anyhow.
|
| Facit:
| Dear mid-size companies we want to excuse for implementing something in
| Mozilla which is not very useful for you; but all the others be happy
| you get a easy and simple way to maintain your shared addressbook which
| is perfectly integrated into Mozilla.
|
| Cheers
| Roland

| PS: Who useful might the Mozilla Chat client be for companies?
