EUDC, the “Emacs Unified Directory Client”, provides a common user
interface to access directory servers using different directory
protocols.
Currently supported back-ends are:
• LDAP, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
• BBDB, Big Brother’s Insidious Database
The main features of the EUDC interface are:
• Queries using a customizable form
• Inline query expansion (for instance you can expand a name to an
email address in a mail message buffer using a server as an address
book)
• Multiple servers can be tried in turn until a match is found for an
inline query
• Fast minibuffer queries for email addresses and phone numbers
• Interface to BBDB to let you insert server records into your own
BBDB database (BBDB (bbdb)Top.)
