[edit] Authentication

  1. Server ldap.scheduleworld.com
  2. Port 389
  3. Account name / Bind DN uid=yyy,dc=scheduleworld,dc=com

  1. Authentication Type simple
  2. SSL no (not yet)

[edit] Search

  1. Scope One Level
  2. Search Base / Base DN uid=yyy,dc=scheduleworld,dc=com

  1. Maximum matches 20

[edit] Read / Write / Delete Access

  1. You have full read/write/delete access to your personal LDAP data.
  2. Special note: KDE / KMail / KAddressbook now has full LDAP read/write/delete capabilities and is fully supported with ScheduleWorld. Tested with Kubuntu 7.0.4 / KDE 3.5.6. Note: The KDE ldapkio address book doesn't notice changes to ScheduleWorld contacts. A workaround is to unselect the ldapkio address book and then reselect it to refresh the KAddressbook view.

[edit] Mozilla Eudora / Mozilla Thunderbird

Replace #### with your Schedule World account number, this can be found by logging in, clicking preferences and the number is the last part of the main heading - i.e. "General Preferences for ####"

[edit] Mutt

You can use The Little Brother's Database (lbdb) with m_ldap as a backend for mutt. As mentioned in the description, you need Net::LDAP Perl (in Debian libnet-ldap-perl).

Configure /etc/lbdb_ldap.rc an add an array on %ldap_server_db like this: 

---- 8-< --- snip
%ldap_server_db = (
  'four11'         => ['ldap.four11.com', 'c=US',
                       'givenname sn cn mail', 'givenname cn sn mail o',
                       '${mail}', '${givenname} ${sn}', '${o}' ],
---- >8 --- snip
...
---- 8< --- snip
  'scheduleworld'          => ['ldap.scheduleworld.com', 'uid=#####,dc=scheduleworld,dc=com',
                       'DisplayName GivenName cn mail l', 'DisplayName GivenName cn mail l',
                       '${mail}', '${cn}', '${l}' , 1 ,'uid=#####,dc=scheduleworld,dc=com' ,'yourpasswd' ]
);
---- >8 --- snip

now edit your .lbdbrc and add the line 

  METHODS="m_ldap"

you can test your setup with 

 lbdbq John Doe

Finaly add something like this to your .muttrc or .mutt/muttrc 

 # query command for using little brotherdb
 set query_command = "lbdbq '%s'"

Use Q to query or ^t (STRG+t) to complete if you are in the the To: field

Tip: You can also use evolution as a backend for mutt (synced with scheduleworld by syncevolution)

[edit] Known limitations of the LDAP service

This is a non-exhaustive list gathered from discussions in the forums.

  • Schema is unavailable (N.B. this prevents usage of ruby-activeldap)
  • Search query results always return all attributes
  • Substring matching is used instead of equality in (attr=val) filter syntax
  • Subtree scope is not supported - use one level scope instead, e.g. 
 export SW_UID=12345 # change as appropriate
 read -s SW_PASS # now enter password
 export SW_PASS SW_DN="uid=$SW_UID,dc=scheduleworld,dc=com"
 ldapsearch -h ldap.scheduleworld.com -D $SW_DN -x -w $SW_PASS -s one -b $SW_DN "$FILTER"
  • jpegPhoto only supported as a boolean not as a binary blob - but there is a task to provide an option to enable it.
  • There may be other attributes unsupported and there are better alternatives for batch backup.
