Cone optionally supports searching LDAP directories for E-mail addresses. If this option is available, pressing A from the main Address Book screen displays the following screen:

Enter a nickname of this LDAP-based address book. This address book appears under this name on the Address Book screen.
Enter the name of the machine that's running the LDAP server.
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.
