The Antiflux user directory is accessible by LDAP. If you are using pine, mutt or Squirrelmail, you can configure them to access the user directory via LDAP with the following settings:

LDAP Server: localhost
Base DN: ou=People,dc=antiflux,dc=org

In order to connect to the LDAP server remotely (i.e., when using an IMAP mail client such as Outlook or Thunderbird), you will need to configure your LDAP client (i.e., your mail client) to use SSL and client certificates.

  1. Obtain and install an SSL client certificate signed by the Antiflux CA
  2. Configure your LDAP client with the following settings:

    LDAP Server/Hostname): antiflux.org
    Base DN: ou=People,dc=antiflux,dc=org
    Port Number: 636
    Bind DN: uid=username,ou=People,dc=antiflux,dc=org (where username is your Antiflux username)
    Search Filter: (uid=*) (optional)

  3. Ensure that your LDAP client is using a secure (SSL) connection.

You may be prompted to enter a password for the LDAP server. This is the same as your password for accessing other Antiflux services.
