Turba LDAP Personal
Address Books
LDAP is typically used to provide a global enterprise wide data
source where all information is shared by all users, and personal
address books are usually provided to users in an SQL data source such
as PostgreSQL or ODBC.
But using LDAP for both global and user specific address books has
several advantages over the split method:
One less data source mechinism needs to be maintained.
Addresses can be easily promoted by administrators from a private
list to public scope.
The private list can be used by other mail agents or applications
that support the LDAP protocol.*
The data is available from all DSAs via replication.
* This could also be accomplished through use of back-sql.
