At the height of the British Empire, colonial subjects from the Raj to Malaya to the Caribbean modeled themselves in part on Englishmen: Nehru and Lee Kuan Yew went to Cambridge, Gandhi, to University College, London. Ho Chi Minh wrote in French for magazines in Paris. These days the world is full of businesspeople, bureaucrats, and scientists who have trained in the United States. — James Fallows, http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2010/01/how-america-can-rise-again/7839/?single_page=true

Leopard address book and LDAP – Mac – Apple

Posted on 16 November 2007 by Erwin

UPDATE: This bug was fixed in the OS X 10.5.1 Software Update. Nice work Apple! I posted a while back about the difficulty of getting Address Book.app with SSL working on Mac OS X 10.4. Now that 10.5 is out in the wild, of course the situation is worse ;-) I’ve tried several times and I just get the infamous:

11/17/07 19:52:49 PM Address Book[3872] [localhost:10389] Binding to server did not complete successfully: ‘-1:Can’t contact LDAP server’

No responses to this issue yet: Leopard address book and LDAP – Mac – Apple:

It works fine if you disable SSL – but seeing as how the only authentication method available is “simple” (meaning your password goes over the wire in plain text), I hardly see that as a sane solution. On the bright side of the Apple Address book issue though, it seems that the genius that runs Address Book X LDAP has managed to get all of the various AddressBook.app attributes to packed into an LDAP server!
