How do I use LDAP to look up UAS & UA addresses automatically?
To have your email automatically know the recipients address with only typing their name, you’ll need to be connected to the LDAP server. Here are the steps to connect to the UAS and UA Statewide LDAP services using Thunderbird. • From within Thunderbird, go to Tools > Options… • Click on the Composition button, choose the Addressing tab. • Check Directory Server. • Click Edit Directories… • Click Add • For the Name, enter “UA Directory” • For the Hostname, enter “edir.alaska.edu” • Enter a base DN of: ou=people,dc=alaska,dc=edu • Click OK • Click OK • Click OK • Enjoy!
