Introducing License Enforcement in Socket
Ensure open-source compliance with Socket’s License Enforcement Beta. Set up your License Policy and secure your software!
Mutt-LDAP provides an external address query script
_ for Mutt_ which
connects to LDAP_ databases using python-ldap_. It can cache queries
locally in case your LDAP server is slow or not always available,
expiring cached queries after a configurable amount of time.
Gentoo
I've packaged Mutt-LDAP for Gentoo_. You need layman_ and my `wtk
overlay`_. Install with::
# emerge -av app-portage/layman
# layman --add wtk
# emerge -av mail-client/mutt-ldap
Dependencies
------------
If you're installing by hand or packaging Mutt-LDAP for another
distribution, you'll need the following dependencies:
============ ================ =========== ======================
Package Purpose Debian_ Gentoo_
============ ================ =========== ======================
python-ldap_ LDAP connections python-ldap dev-python/python-ldap
============ ================ =========== ======================
Installing by hand
------------------
Mutt-LDAP is available as a Git_ repository::
$ git clone git://tremily.us/mutt-ldap.git
It is also mirrored on GitHub_. To install the checkout, run the
standard::
$ python setup.py install
or you can just copy ``mutt_ldap.py`` into to your ``PATH``.
Usage
=====
Add the following line to your ``~/.muttrc``::
set query_command = "mutt_ldap.py '%s'"
Search for addresses (from Mutt_) with ``^t``, optionally after typing
part of the name. Configure your connection by creating
``~/.mutt-ldap.rc`` contaning something like::
[connection]
server = myserver.example.net
basedn = ou=people,dc=example,dc=net
See the ``CONFIG`` options in ``mutt_ldap.py`` for other available
settings.
