Address Book Agent - Supported Users

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.

Supported users are the messaging system contexts the Address Book Agent references to generate its user index. Users belonging to supported contexts are available for LDAP queries. Conversely, User objects not included in a supported context are not included in the agent’s index and, therefore, are not available for LDAP queries.

Users with an Unlisted Privacy status are not included in the system address book, regardless of whether they are in a supported NMAP context. For more information on defining a user’s privacy status, see the Privacy attribute in the User object's Internet Mail property page.

Because NMAP Agents define the messaging system’s supported contexts, the Supported Users property corresponds to NMAP Agents. On a standalone messaging server, WebAdmin automatically selects the NMAP Agent on the current server. In distributed messaging systems, you can select any NMAP Agent on a distributed messaging server that has users in its assigned contexts. Click the Browse button to select one or more NMAP Agents using the Browse dialog box.

A single Address Book Agent can reference multiple NMAP Agents. However, you can only select one NMAP Agent when creating the Address Book Agent. You can add multiple NMAP Agents when configuring the agent.

To verify that an Address Book Agent is servicing a particular NMAP Agent’s user contexts:

  1. Telnet to the queue server at port 689. (You must be a trusted host.)
  2. Enter the config command to see a list of currently registered agents.
