Contacts over LDAP?

nessor

Hey Guys,

I’m just starting a small business. Since I have to pay attention to the financial expenses, especially at the beginning, I have not (yet) bought a support package. So I am now here with you 🙂

I got a package from placetel for the telephony. This allows the automatic import of contacts via LDAP. Otherwise you always have to import exports. This is very annoying. My dream would be that all contacts that I create via Outlook are automatically provisioned into the telephone system. But as I saw it, Mailcow does not offer an LDAP interface - right? Do you have another idea how to implement something like that?

Hi,

Makes me wonder why they don’t have a CardDAV interface. It is very unusual to expose an LDAP interface for such a service imo. I’d recommend to look for a soft phone with an implementation to define a CardDAV service. 🙂

Edit: Linphone might have such an interface.

I just don’t have a softphone in use, I have a Yealink. Apparently, it is common for cloud telephony systems to use LDAP as a phone book - for whatever reason. I did not find any hardware (phones) or an alternative provider to Placetel that offers CardDAV as import. ☹
