Configure the Address Book for LDAP

Overview

Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP), also referred to as Internet directory services, is used to find e-mail addresses that are not in a local Outlook address book or a corporate-wide directory such as the Global Address List. LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP): A protocol that provides access to Internet Directories.) queries directories on other servers to look up names and other information that can then be viewed in Outlook. The LDAP service requires a network connection to the LDAP server. Microsoft Exchange supports LDAP, or one can locate an LDAP server on the Internet, on the organization's intranet, or through another company that hosts an LDAP server.
