Directory Services Using Eudora Pro v. 5.0 & 6.0 for Windows 98/2000/XP
  • To set-up and access UW Oshkosh's LDAP server select Directory Services from the Tools menu.
Figure 1
  • If your Directory Services window looks like the above, then you need to either enlarge the window with your mouse, maximize the window, and/or position your mouse on the right vertical bar and drag the mouse to the left in order to see the Protocols and Database windows as shown below.

    • Click on Search Options
    • Enter the following in the the search base field
      • ou = people, o = uwosh.edu, dc = uwosh, dc = edu
    • Under the maximum number of matches to return - uncheck the No Limit and enter 30
     

    In the "Query" field, you will usually have best results searching by entering First Name  initial. For example, if you are looking for John Doe, enter in the query field Doe J (not case-sensitive) and click Start You can try just Doe if you are not sure of the first name or the spelling of it. Too many matches or no matches will produce the same "Last Match 0" message.  If you receive zero matches, try adding or subtracting from your search string.

    When you find a match and want to E-Mail that person, click the E-Mail address and select the To button. The New Message window should appear with the selected address in the To field.

    For additional E-Mail address searching  -  Web E-Mail Address Search
