Subject: Using pine with AltaVista Directory 98 (LDAP Server)

From: Cary Burnette <[email-masked]>

Hello:

 I have compiled version 4.04 of pine with LDAP support. We have 
AltaVista Directory 98 LDAP Server set up for testing. I can connect 
to the server and get name information, but I can not get the email
address information. I can use Outlook 98 and see all of the information
on the LDAP server. Has anyone seen this problem and know of any steps
to fix it?

Thank you

Cary

I'm not familiar with Altavista LDAP and Outlook, but it sounds like
either they use a different attribute name than 'mail' to denote the 
email address or you have access control permissions that do not allow 
you to view the 'mail' attribute.  If the former is the case, you can 
change the "mail" on 5507 of pine/buildaddr.c to something else.  I 
really doubt this is the problem.  

Otherwise, investigate your LDAP access control, see if you can do a
verbose log on the Altavista side and the Pine side (hit '9' on the main
screen) during a pine lookup.  Do the same with an Outlook lookup.
