OK, I have this in /etc/mozilla-thunderbird/pref/mailnews.js
pref("ldap_1.number_of_directories", 6);
pref("ldap_1.directory1.description", "Personal Address Book");
pref("ldap_1.directory1.dirType", 2);
pref("ldap_1.directory1.isOffline", false);
pref("ldap_1.directory2.description", "Four11 Directory");
pref("ldap_1.directory2.serverName", "ldap.four11.com");
pref("ldap_1.directory3.description", "InfoSpace Directory");
pref("ldap_1.directory3.serverName", "ldap.infospace.com");
pref("ldap_1.directory4.description", "WhoWhere Directory");
pref("ldap_1.directory4.serverName", "ldap.whowhere.com");
pref("ldap_1.directory5.description", "Bigfoot Directory");
pref("ldap_1.directory5.serverName", "ldap.bigfoot.com");
But none of them show up as selections for a ldap server to verify my
addresses. That's not what I'm after, it's just an example. I have a local
ldap server that I want all of my users to have automatically in their fbird
setups.
How come it's not there?
Do I need to re-create my profile?
... Just tried that, and all I get for ldap in my prefs.js is:
user_pref("ldap_2.prefs_migrated", true);
Hey, I could just append the data to each user's prefs.js file, but then
what are the files in /etc for then?
