eudc: Emacs-only Configuration
2.1.1 Emacs-only Configuration
------------------------------
Emacs can pass most required configuration options via the ‘ldapsearch’
command-line. One exception is certificate configuration for
LDAP-over-SSL, which must be specified in ‘/etc/openldap/ldap.conf’. On
systems that provide such certificates as part of the ‘OpenLDAP’
installation, this can be as simple as one line:
TLS_CACERTDIR /etc/openldap/certs
In ‘.emacs’, these expressions suffice to configure EUDC for LDAP:
(with-eval-after-load "message"
(define-key message-mode-map (kbd "TAB") 'eudc-expand-inline))
(customize-set-variable 'eudc-server-hotlist
'(("" . bbdb)
("ldaps://ldap.gnu.org" . ldap)))
(customize-set-variable 'ldap-host-parameters-alist
'(("ldaps://ldap.gnu.org"
base "ou=people,dc=gnu,dc=org"
binddn "gnu\\emacsuser"
passwd ldap-password-read)))
Specifying the function ‘ldap-password-read’ for ‘passwd’ will cause
Emacs to prompt interactively for the password. The password will then
be validated and cached, unless ‘password-cache’ is nil. You can
customize ‘password-cache-expiry’ to control the duration for which the
password is cached. If you want to clear the cache, call
‘password-reset’.
