Setting up a directory

Your data

Decide what attributes you want to store (email address, phone, etc.). The simplest option is to use our default "emailPerson," which covers the attributes shown by most clients in their list views. You may add other attributes to your entries. Or, use a standard schema (inetOrgPerson, LIPS, etc.). For a detailed discussion, see the Kinds of Directories and Client Programs sections.

• For a handy list of standard attributes (in addition those in our simplified emailPerson), open the Attributes Reference window (File menu).

Input: Entries may be imported in any of three formats (LDIF, tab-delimited, or vCard) or entered directly in ClickMail. Changes to entries may be made directly in ClickMail (or via Web in ClickMail XL). Also, all entries may be exported for offline maintenance, then reimported.

ClickMail may be run as a "mirror" to your AppleShare IP Users & Groups Registry. When you open the directory with this setting, all AppleShare users appear in ClickMail's directory. Also, entries entered or imported into ClickMail can be placed into Users & Groups automatically.
