Re: Possible to use OID for email address books / distribution lists?

[Quoted] OiD is a standard LDAP v3 conplaint LDAP server. It happens to use the Oracle 9i/10g database to store the data and happens to use Oracle-created processes to receive LDAP requests and respond to them with data retrieved from the database

The challenge is creating or using
1) a schema suitable for the application; 2) an application that does the right job using the schema.

I'm not sure whether Outlook will create the needed schema on the fly when you point to a directory server, or whether it'll gripe about the lack of appropriate schema.

If it creates it on the fly, then there should be minimum problem, other than providing the initial permissions for the user to connect.

It just might be easier on the learning curve scale to do this on OpenLDAP. Exactly the same concept, but using OpenLDAP (open source) and using the cookbook at
