.SH NAME
directoryassistant \- user friendly ldap addressbook frontend 

.SH DESCRIPTION

Directory Assistant is a small application for managing a LDAP 
address book. The focus is to create a very easy to use program,
with only the few but necessary features. The target is novice 
users that need to keep their addresses in an LDAP server.

.SH FILES

Configuration is done by config file. Since novice users anyway 
don't know how to configure LDAP access, I decided to remove that 
from the GUI. The config file should be at
.I /etc/directoryassistant
or
.I ~/.directoryassistant
and should have the format:

.nf
.sp
[My Ldap Server]
ldapurl = ldap://your.ldap.server.com/
base_dn = ou=department,ou=People,o=someorg
.fi

extended options are:
.nf
.sp
bind_dn = cn=someaccount,o=someorg
bind_password = yourpassword
add_dn = ou=myunit,ou=department,ou=People,o=someorg
ldapversion = 3
startup_search =

.fi
