Managing Accounts in an Identity
Adding a directory account
A directory is a list of contacts provided in standard LDAP format, typically
for a large organization or entity. If you add a directory account to Outlook,
the contacts will be automatically available as you type e-mail addresses,
and you will be able to search the directory to find individuals. You will need
to obtain the LDAP directory settings from the server administrator prior to
attempting to add the server to your Outlook accounts. To add an account,
take these steps:
1. In Outlook, choose Tools➪Accounts from the menu bar.
The Account dialog displays.
2. Click the plus (+) sign in the lower-left corner. Choose Directory
Service from the pop-up menu.
An import form displays.
3. Enter the name of the LDAP server and then click Add Account.
The account is added to the list of accounts in the Account dialog,
and the account settings display on the right.
4. (Optional) Click the Advanced button.
Advanced settings display, as shown in Figure 1-7. Adjust settings
as required for the LDAP server. In the Search Base field, typically
you enter something like c=US for a United States Server and
o=Organization’s name.
