With this configuration, Outlook had the error:įailed to connect to ‘’ due to invalid authentication.Įnsure a valid user name and password has been entered on the Microsoft LDAP configuration page for the “” account. So I then ticked the ‘This server requires me to logon’ and entered ‘User Name: billg’ and ‘Password: B1lLGpW’. Possibly your specified Search Base is invalid. With this configuration, Outlook had the error: I had the following couple of error messages.Īs an authenticated domain user I expected it wouldn’t require any login information so I never ticked or completed this section (Doh!). I was tying this in Outlook 2003 SP2 (Build 8010) with a domain user in our Microsoft Active Directory domain on Windows Server 2003. Took a couple of tries to get this working so hopefully my detailed experiences below may help, I have used the above details to help explain. If for some reason you don’t feel comfortable with that please drop me a note via my contact form and I’ll add the details to this article. Once you’ve created this account you can follow the same instructions as above substituting the username/password with you have any other tips about this subject please leave a comment. The only thing this account does is provide a way to get LDAP user account info. This account has limited abilities and doesn’t have permissions to any files or shares. In order to get around this at work I created an Active Directory user called anonymous, with the password of anonymous. Please remember to substitute along with the billg user account and password with your own details.įor those of you that are concerned about having to enter your password to access your Active Directory/LDAP address book, there is another method that I should mention. It many cases these same instructions will work with other versions of the same software, but I can’t guarantee that.

I noted the version of each software that I tried this on. "Search Base": cn=users,dc=example,dc=com "Addressing": Check "Automatically complete addresses" "Search" tab -> "Search Options": cn=users,dc=example,dc=com (It will probably warn you about not being available until after your "Logon Information": Check "This server requires me to log on" Select "Internet Directory Server (LDAP)"

The instructions also assume that you haven’t setup SSL/TLS on your Active Directory servers. The instructions below assume that your Active Directory forest was setup using the domain and that your username is billg, so be sure to replace that with your own information.
#THUNDERBIRD MAC OS 10.4 HOW TO#
I recently wrote up step by step instructions on how to setup each of these and thought others might benefit from this. Since Active Directory makes this data available via LDAP you can use it as an address book back end for Thunderbird, Outlook and Maill.app (the built in email client on Mac OS X). At work we’ve got all of our user account information Active Directory running on MS Windows 2003 servers.
