[rt-users] RT LDAP with OpenLdap and Exchange 5.5

[Ian Clancy]

Thanks Folks for your reply.
Exchange 5.5 does support LDAP and i have it enabled and listening on 
389 and 636 on the server. I know it's working as i can lookup email 
addresses from Thunderbird etc..
We will be upgrading in the future but it's unlikely to be Exchange. 
Joachim, i like your suggestion of connecting to  Exchange LDAP with an 
LDAP Browser. I already use phpMyAdmin for OpenLDAP so maybe i will be 
able to connect to Exchange with this. Either way i'll let everyone know 
how it goes.
Regards,
