Using EECS LDAP for address auto-completion
Quick settings summary:
- Hostname: ldap.eecs.berkeley.edu
- Base DN:ou=people,o=eecs.berkeley.edu,dc=eecs,dc=berkeley,dc=edu
- Port: 389 (no SSL)
- Bind DN: (blank)
Configuring Thunderbird to use a Directory Server allows you to take advantage of auto-completion of email addresses for others with IRIS accounts. This uses an anonymous bind to the EECS LDAP server.
The EECS LDAP servers restrict off-campus access, so to use this auto-completion while off campus, you will need to use the Campus VPN Service.
- Go to Tools -> Options…
- Select Composition, and then the Addressing tab:
- Click on Edit Directories…
- In the list of LDAP Directory Servers that comes up, click Add to create a new entry.
- Enter the following server properties as shown:
- Name: EECS
- Hostname: ldap.eecs.berkeley.edu
- Base DN:ou=people,o=eecs.berkeley.edu,dc=eecs,dc=berkeley,dc=edu
- Port: 389 (no SSL)
- Bind DN: (blank)
- Click OK twice to close, and make sure Directory Server is checked in your Address Autocompletion settings before closing the Options window.
