  <title>Adding LDAP access</title>

  <p>The LDAP protocol was created to let users share contact information over
  a network by sharing access to a central directory. LDAP allows a company to
  maintain a shared set of contact information. Many companies keep a common
  LDAP address book for all their employees or for client contacts.</p>

    <item>
      <p>In the <gui>General</gui> tab, select the type
      <gui>On LDAP Servers</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Escriba un nome que prefira.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Enter the address of the server, the port number (the default number
      is 389) and whether you want to connect securely.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Define the login method and your username.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Prema <gui style="button">Aceptar</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>In the <gui>Details</gui> tab you can define the following
      settings:</p>
      <list>
        <item>
	  <p>Search Base: The search base is the starting point for a directory
	  search. Contact your system administrator for information about the
	  correct settings.</p>
        </item>
        <item>
	  <p>Search Scope: The search scope is the breadth of a given search.</p>
	  <p>The following options are available:</p>
          <list>
            <item>
	      <p>One Level: Searches one entry below the Search Base.</p>
	    </item>
            <item>
	      <p>Subtree: Searches the Search Base and all entries below it.</p>
            </item>
          </list>
        </item>
        <item>
	  <p>Search Filter: The search filter can be set here for all the LDAP
	  queries. For example:</p>
          <list>
            <item>
              <p><code>ObjectClass=*</code>: Lists all the objects from the
              server.</p>
	    </item>
            <item>
	      <p><code>ObjectClass=User</code>: Lists only the users.</p>
	    </item>
            <item>
	      <p><code>Filter (|(ObjectClass=User)(ObjectClass=groupOfNames))</code>: Obtén os obxectos User e Contact List</p>
	    </item>
            <item>
	      <p><code>(&amp;(mail=*)(ObjectClass=*))</code>: Lists the objects
	      associated with the email addresses.</p>
	    </item>
          </list>
        </item>
        <item>
	  <p>Timeout (minutes): The maximum time <app>Evolution</app> attempts
	  to download data from the server before giving up.</p>
        </item>
        <item>
	  <p>Download Limit: The maximum number of results for a given search.
	  Most servers refuse to send more than 500 contacts, but you can set
	  the number lower if you want to shorten downloads for very broad
	  searches.</p>
        </item>
      </list>
    </item>
  </steps>

<section id="ldap-vs-local-addressbooks">
  <title>Diferenzas ás axendas de enderezos locais</title>

  <p>LDAP address books work like local address books on your computer, with
  the following exceptions:</p>

  <list>
    <item>
      <p>Network folders are only available when you are connected to the
      network. If you use a laptop or have a modem connection, you might want
      to copy or cache some of the network directory. You do this by dragging
      and dropping your desired contacts into the local address books.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>You can also mark the network folder for offline usage. To mark the
      folder, right-click the folder, click <gui>Properties</gui> and select
      <gui>Copy folder content locally for offline operation</gui>.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>To prevent excess network traffic, <app>Evolution</app> does not
      normally load data from the LDAP server upon opening.</p>
    </item>
    <item>
      <p>Depending on your server settings, you might not be able to edit all
      the fields in a contact stored on an LDAP server. Some servers prohibit
      some or all changes, and others use a smaller set of fields than
      <app>Evolution</app> allows. Check with your system administrator if you
      need different settings.</p>
