Kaddressbook and LDAP

Has anyone gotten this to work?
If so what steps are required?
I've never used LDAP. Currently when I hit the Query Server
button it flashes some message for a millisecond with the word OK
and that's it. Queries from the main window do not return anything.
I can telnet to the LDAP port on the Netware box and it responds.

Depends on your LDAP server very much. Here, I just added a new LDAP address book, entered the hostname of my server and the base OU in LDAP format (i.e. "O=MyO" here) and it worked with the rest being the default.

I have no idea what you provide for the base OU. Does it somehow mirror the
eDir Tree? I tried setting base OU equal to first O, and then I tried the
Tree name, but it doesn't really do anything with either setting. Clicking
Query Server flashes OK in both cases, but searches still don't work.

Depends on your LDAP configuration again, by default it should be your NDS Organization. Check your LDAP configuration in C1.

Since this isn't very helpful, obviously, try an LDAP browser first:
