Integration of LDAP in Mozilla Thunderbird
Please note: By integrating the DFN-LDAP as address book, the certificate and public key of people, with which you initially want to communicate confidentially, can be used . Therefore, every user certificate should be published. |
- In Thunderbird select the "Burger Menu" (three stripes) on the right and choose settings
- Open the "Composition" tab
- Scroll to "Addressing"
- Check "Directory Server" and click "Edit Directories..."
- click on "Add" and make the following settings:
- Name: Name of the Address Book (RWTH LDAP, RWTH Address Book..)
Hostname: ldappv.rwth-aachen.de
Basis-DN: For people: ou=People,dc=rwth-aachen,dc=de OR for GÉANT/TCS user certificates: o=RWTH Aachen University,ou=GEANT/TCS,dc=rwth-aachen,dc=de
Port-Nummer: 636
Bind-DN: keep empty
Check "Use secure connection (SSL)" - klick "OK"
- After that, the address book can be found under "Address Book" in the menu bar
If you wish to integrate multiple address books (e.g. People and GÉANT/TCS user certificates), you must add an LDAP directory server for each by repeating the corresponding steps above.
