LDAP Servers at VCU

Thursday, April 3rd, 2008

It’s funny that it’s taken me this long to think about using an LDAP server for all my VCU email addresses. Everyone has an address that is available online anyway, so VCU let’s you use the LDAP server to quickly look up addresses.

There is a page dedicated to setting up an LDAP server in Thunderbird at the VCU Technology Services website, so I won’t repeat it here.

LDAP can be used for many things I suppose, but it seems most useful for email addresses and phone numbers.

For my own future reference, there is an LDAP server at NCSU as well.
