LDAP XPCOM Modules

Questions or comments to netscape.public.mozilla.directory

Author: Dan Mosedale <dmose@mozilla.org>

Overview

These modules (well, at the moment, there's only one) live in the Mozilla CVS tree under mozilla/directory/xpcom/.

For a description of what is currently here, see the README.

If you're interesting in lending a hand, the first thing to do is check out the TODO list to get an idea of what is planned and needs to be done. Feel free to post to the newsgroup with questions or to come to the #mozilla channel on irc.mozilla.org and ask around there.

Building

Unix
Simply build as you normally would, but supply the --enable-ldap option to configure (either on the command-line or in your .mozconfig file).
Windows
Set ENABLE_LDAP to 1 in your environment before building. Build as usual.
Mac
To build the XPCOM LDAP component on Macintosh, add the following line to your Mozilla debug build prefs file before building: options ldap 1 and then build.

Running

Run mozilla and type an ldap: URL into the location bar. It should just work.
