46.3 Configuring LDAP Services

The Internet Agent supports the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) standard. With
LDAP enabled, the GroupWise Internet Agent functions as an LDAP server, allowing LDAP
queries for GroupWise user information contained in the GroupWise Address Book. You can also
configure which GroupWise fields (Given Name, Last Name, Phone, and E-Mail) are visible to an
LDAP query.
Section 46.3.1, "Enabling LDAP Services," on page 757
Section 46.3.2, "Configuring Public Access," on page 758
IMPORTANT: For users to perform LDAP searches for GroupWise user information, they need to
define the GroupWise Address Book as an LDAP directory in their e-mail client. When doing so,
they use the Internet Agent's DNS hostname or IP address for the LDAP server address

46.3.1 Enabling LDAP Services

To enable and configure LDAP services for mail client access:
1 In ConsoleOne, right-click the Internet Agent object, then click Properties.
2 Click LDAP > Settings to display the LDAP Settings page.
Explanation
The p option purges the messages from the GroupWise
mailbox after they have been downloaded to the POP3
client.
The t option defines the download period, starting with the
current day. For example, if you specify 14, then only
messages that are 14 days old or newer are downloaded.
If this option is not used, the default value is 30 days.
The n option downloads messages in RFC-822 format
rather than the default MIME format.
The m option downloads messages in MIME format. This
is the default.
The s option presets the file size when the STAT command
is executed. If the user mailbox contains a lot of messages
or large messages, it can take a long time to calculate the
file size. With this option, the STAT command always
reports an artificial file size of 1, which can save time.
The l option limits the number of messages to download for
each POP3 session. For example, if you want to limit the
number of messages to 10, you enter l=10. If this option is
not used, the default value is 100 messages.
