Thunderbird LDAP

I've decieded to use jxplorer as my editor for LDAP editing tasks. Therefore I've written some html template files to create LDAP objects which are compatible with the thunderbird addressbook entries.

Download

You can clone the git repo with:

git clone git://git.derhammer.net/thunderbird_ldap.git

and of course you can access and browse the source online

mozilla.schema

On the server side you have to include the schema file which is part of my distribution. Afterwards all the objects for the addressbook should have a objectClass=mozillaAbPersonAlpha. (You can find this schema also in the mozilla wiki)

jxplorer template directory

To use the template files simply copy the mozillaAbPersonAlpha directory into you jxplorer template dir. This may be located at ~/.jxplorer/templates.

Then you can choose this template in the HTML View and should be able to get the following simple interface. This interface is more or less a simple copy of the user mask inside the thunderbird address book.
