NethServer Version: 7.9.2009
Module: nsdc
How can I use the directory of the nethserver DC in Thunderbird?
The connection is made via Openvpn!
Ping: OK
Nethserver DC Settings:
Thunderbird Settings:
When I try to enter a name, it asks for the password:
However, the bind password is not accepted here.
Does somebody has any idea?

SSL (port 636) is required and maybe you need to add cn=users
to the base dn.
Here’s a working config:
Some time ago we were talking about LDAP and Thunderbird:

Hi Markus,
I know that.
But now with another NS version and still connected via OpenVPN.
I can’t get a connection here.
Does a port have to be released? I can’t find the service in NS Services. LDAP is not installed, only the DC.

Sorry for the confusion, I posted the right config for AD (screenshot), you just need SSL and port 636, no matter if vpn or not.
I just found the old LDAP thread and wanted to link it here because it’s a similar topic.
EDIT:
You may need a valid certificate or disable strong auth:
Hi Markus,
I changed the following:
In /var/lib/machines/nsdc/etc/samba/smb.conf add line
ldap server require strong auth = no
After that I was able to display entries, but here you will only find the names, no email addresses.
Whats wrong now?
Are there other services in NS for this?

You could add a config line in Thunderbirds advanced preferences.
Add ldap_2.servers.MyAD.attrmap.PrimaryEmail
and set it to userPrincipalName
. “MyAD” is the name of my LDAP addressbook.
To change it for all addressbooks you could change ldap_2.servers.default.attrmap.PrimaryEmail
to userPrincipalName
After restarting Thunderbird the mail addresses should be shown correctly.

SOGo supports addressbooks.

Nextcloud also supports TB Adressbooks very well… (TBsync App)…
My 2 cents
