[Triumf-linux-managers] LDAP

[Isabel Trigger]

Hi - I just tried that configuration (I use that LDAP to get people's office phone numbers on my iphone). It works; actually it gives me rather MORE information than I am used to seeing with the old settings - for example, it gives not just my work phone but also my cell number and my citizenship. Is it supposed to do that? Is it just because I'm on the TRIUMF network?
