eudc: External Configuration
2.1.2 External Configuration
----------------------------
Your system may already be configured for a default LDAP server. For
example, ‘/etc/openldap/ldap.conf’ might contain:
BASE ou=people,dc=gnu,dc=org
URI ldaps://ldap.gnu.org
TLS_CACERTDIR /etc/openldap/certs
Authentication requires a password, and a “bind distinguished name
(binddn)” representing the user, in this case, ‘gnu\emacsuser’. These
can be specified in ‘~/.authinfo.gpg’ with the following line:
machine ldaps://ldap.gnu.org binddn gnu\emacsuser password s3cr3t
Then in the ‘.emacs’ init file, 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"
auth-source t)))
For this example where we only care about one server, the server name
can be omitted in ‘~/.authinfo.gpg’ and ‘.emacs’, in which case
‘ldapsearch’ defaults to the host name in ‘/etc/openldap/ldap.conf’.
The ‘~/.authinfo.gpg’ line becomes:
binddn gnu\emacsuser password s3cr3t
and the ‘.emacs’ expressions become:
(with-eval-after-load "message"
(define-key message-mode-map (kbd "TAB") 'eudc-expand-inline))
(customize-set-variable 'eudc-server-hotlist
'(("" . bbdb) ("" . ldap)))
(customize-set-variable 'ldap-host-parameters-alist
'(("" auth-source t)))
