I found in the end that what was wanted here was the first part of the DN, in my case "DN: Address Book". After giving that, I was able to access my LDAP address book from KMail. I do feel that the KAddressBook and KMail documentation - in particular the Handbooks - are badly written. If there had been a single example given in this case it would have been obvious what the program was looking for. One example is worth a thousand words. This is all with Security: No . To complete my homework, I'm trying to make sense of openldap + TLS. But in the meantime I can live without that. Hopefully Gerald Carter when he arrives will throw some light on this. But thanks to all for their help. I must write out what I have learned, although I found "setting up an LDAP-server for use with kaddressbook" at <http://www.hoernerfranzracing.de/kde/ldap.html> very useful. -- fedora-list mailing list fedora-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list
