The Address Book Agent provides read-only LDAP3 access to Novell® eDirectory. Using this agent, any LDAP-compliant application (such as e-mail or address book clients) can access address book information from eDirectory. Information returned about each user depends on the users privacy level.
Do not confuse the Address Book Agent with the Modular Web Agent's address book feature. The Modular Web Agent address book is a user feature that can look up information in virtually any LDAP-compliant database. The Address Book Agent enables address book clients (such as the Modular Web Agent address book) to query eDirectory for address book information.
IMPORTANT: You must restart the msgldap executable to effect any changes in the Address Book Agent's configuration. For information on loading and unloading the NetMail® Agents, see the Novell NetMail Administration Guide at http://www.novell.com/documentation.
