eudc: Selecting a Server

 
 3.1.1 Selecting a Server
 ------------------------
 
 Before doing any query you will need to set the directory server.  You
 need to specify the name of the host machine running the server software
 and the protocol to use.  If you do not set the server in any fashion,
 EUDC will ask you for one when you make your first query.
 
    You can set the server by selecting one from your hotlist of servers
 (The Server Hotlist) available in the ‘Server’ submenu or by
 selecting ‘New Server’ in that same menu.
 
    LDAP servers generally require some configuration before you can
 perform queries on them.  In particular, the “search base” must be
 configured.  If the server you select has no configured search base then
 EUDC will propose you to configure it at this point.  A customization
 buffer will be displayed where you can edit the search base and other
 parameters for the server.
 
  -- Variable: eudc-server
      The name or IP address of the remote directory server.  A TCP port
      number may be specified by appending a colon and a number to the
      name of the server.  You will not need this unless your server runs
      on a port other than the default (which depends on the protocol).
      If the directory server resides on your own computer (which is the
      case if you use the BBDB back end) then ‘localhost’ is a reasonable
      value but it will be ignored anyway.
 
  -- Variable: eudc-protocol
      The directory protocol to use to query the server.  Currently
      supported protocols in this version of EUDC are ‘ldap’ and ‘bbdb’.
 
  -- Command: eudc-set-server
      This command accessible from ‘New Server’ submenu lets you specify
      a new directory server and protocol.
