All Forget About IT™ servers have an LDAP based shared addressbook. It can be accessed from many applications, including most email clients, and a number of desktop address books as well, and you will find that your webmail account already has this facility enabled. In order to access the shared addressbook from an application you will need the following information.
- Server Name: Usually mail.<your domain name> or server.<your domain name>. Often you can use a short name such as "server" on its own if the computer is not used outside of the office network.
- User Name / Account ID: This is a bit complicated. We have a web page on your server where you can copy this from. It takes the following form: uid=<your user id>,ou=People,dc=<your domain shortcode>,dc=uk,dc=fabit,dc=net. (fabit is the shortest version of Forget ABout IT we could find that was still available. It was only afterwards we realised that it could also be read as FABulous IT!).
- Password: Hopefully you will already know this, as we cannot find out what your password is as it stored as an encrypted form.
- Search Base: ou=AddressBook,dc=<your domain shortcode>,dc=uk,dc=fabit,dc=net.
