NSC-020415: Transition from Ph to LDAP Directory Service

Please forward this message to server administrators in your department

Our records show that the servers you manage may be querying the Ph directory. Effective April 29, access to Ph will be restricted to delivery of "@uiowa.edu" addresses. Before that date, please redirect your white pages applications to the LDAP white pages

LDAP hostname = "directory.uiowa.edu"

LDAP port 389

searchbase = "ou=people,o=university of iowa,c=us"

This change supports a new institutional policy that requires that mail aliases (firstname-lastname@uiowa.edu) be supported for all members of the UI community, including students whose directory information is restricted under FERPA. Customers relying on Ph for white pages service will need to switch to LDAP.

Additional information about configuring e-mail clients to access the LDAP directory service is available at http//www.its.uiowa.edu/cs/email/ldap/.

If you have additional questions about redirecting your white pages applications, contact the ITS Help Desk at 384-HELP or send a message to its-helpdesk@uiowa.edu.
