Q.
I can't seem to be able to get NIMS to perform a system-wide LDAP lookup for users via eDirectory. How do I do this?

Dear Norbert: For NIMS to be able to use LDAP (pointing to a box running MLDAP), the Email Address attribute has to be populated with the user objects, or it doesn't work. If you choose to use msgldap, it will dynamically generate the email from the user@globaldomain or the userid for hosted domains if the Email Address attribute is not populated.
