All I have only just subscribed to this list today in order to see if anyone has any ideas on the following problem. I did post it to the courier-users list, but in hindsight this list is most probably more appropriate.

I am trying to evaluate the address book searching in the webmail (SQWebMail) interface to the courier mail server (version 0.53.3). I am running under SLES10.

I am unable to get any response from this in the web interface.

I have defined the information regarding my LDAP server in /usr/lib/courier/etc/ldapaddressbook: ADFA dir.adfa.edu.au 389 ou=staff,o=adfa

However, typing in various last names in the search box in the web interface give nothing at all.

The Courier installation documentation (p 44) under "LDAP address book import" indicates that the courier(8) man page should be consulted for more information. That appears only to have the same information as the installation docs??

I have run /usr/bin/ldapsearch and this gives me answers that I would expect using the following format (an example looking for a CN value of "fnurk": ldapsearch -x -h dir.adfa.edu.au -b 'ou=staff,o=adfa' '(cn=fnurk)'

Having dug around in the Courier installation directories I find another ldapsearch binary (in the /usr/lib/courier/share/sqwebmail directory). I can get no response from that program at all.

Can anyone enlighten me as to what I am doing wrong?

I also can see no way to specify what filter to use with the search. I would like to use "cn" for that.

Thanks in advance for any suggestions or pointers.
