Do you mean you want to store contact information {names, numbers, email} in a ldap directory ? That would seem to be overkill for a single user - but something to learn about all the same. If you mean you want to configure evolution to use an existing LDAP server, that would be different...I want to install ldap on F8 for use with evolution.
I did a quick google search and it led me to the fedora directory project:http://directory.fedoraproject.org The FAQ says explains how fedora-ds relates to openldap. However, which one do I install?
They each implement an LDAP server. > Does it matter?LDAP servers are traditionally difficult to set up, with the issue that a ldap server is structured by the administrator to suit their requirements. There is some common structures or schemas available. I have done a company wide (100 users) LDAP setup with openldap, and once I understood a fair bit it ran on first FC3 then FC6 for 4 years. I was going to convert to fedora-ds, but these plans have been abandoned. It looked like there was some pre-defined structures available with fedora-ds that would have made it a little easier.
Should do; else evolution might be implementing ldap lookups in a server specfic way, or expecting only a certain directory stucture.Does evolution work with either one?
