Directory name

  Enter a nickname of this LDAP-based address book. This address book appears under this name on the Address Book screen.

LDAP server hostname

  Enter the name of the machine that's running the LDAP server.

LDAP suffix/root

  This setting specifies the suffix, or the root node, of the LDAP E-mail directory, such as "`dc=example, dc=com`", and depends on how the LDAP directory is configured. Contact the LDAP server administrator to get the correct LDAP suffix/root setting.

The directory and the server hostname are required, the LDAP root/suffix is optional (depending on the LDAP server's configuration). Highlight "Save" and press Enter to add this LDAP server to the list of address books that are automatically looked up, or "Cancel" to abort.
