Subject: How do I make Pine use LDAP?

Everyone else uses OutLook, but the company-wide
addressbook is accessible through LDAP.

I just configure the fully qualified domain name
of the company LDAP server into Netscape
Preferences and it does look ups for me (so I can
use Netscape to look up addresses and type them
into pine, but ...!).

When I configure a new Global AddressBook in Pine
(4.21 on Solaris) and then try to use it to look 
up an address, I get

 [Error opening/creating address book {ldap.company.com}]

After I entered the list address into this
message, Pine asked me for my username and
password and then reported that same error,
adding "<invalid format>".

Anonymous look ups will return a hundred matches,
which is probably all I'll ever need, but I don't
know how to tell Pine to do anonymous lookups.

So, I have tried putting my Windows NT domain name
backslash my username in when Pine asks for
username (domain\me) and end up with the same
result.

So, Help, please, with

  How do I tell Pine to do anonymous LDAP?
   or
  How do I get Windows NT domain\user
     authentication to go through Solaris Pine?

 and

How do I tell Pine not to look everything up in
the global addressbook so I don't have to go
through the authentication step *all* the time?

Global address books (at least in my copy of pine 4.44) are for globally
accessable IMAP address books.

For LDAP you need to go into Main Menu -> Setup -> Directory which will
probably only be there if you have ldap compiled into pine, once in there
you sound like you'll know the fields its asking for.

Cheers,

Stewart

No, there's more to it than that. Thanks anyway ....
