LDAP with KMail at Newcastle University

Intended audience: KMail users at Newcastle University.

The details you need to fill in are as follows:

Username: (empty)
Domain: (empty)
Server: campusdc03.campus.ncl.ac.uk
Password: (you know this)
Security: SSL
Authentication: Simple
DN: DC=campus,DC=ncl,DC=ac,DC=uk

Construct the Bind DN as follows:
Go to https://directory.ncl.ac.uk/tech-info.php and login. Pay attention to the OUs section of the table. Your Bind DN is:

CN=(your username),OU=(the first part of the OUs section),OU=(the second part of the OUs section),(keep going with OU=… until you get to the last one),OU=(the last part of the OUs section),DN=campus,DN=ncl,DN=ac,DN=uk

For example, Jane Test has the username “njt123” and the OUs part of the table says “J first names, T surnames, Test Users, Campus Users” for her. Her Bind DN would be:

CN=njt123,OU=J first names,OU=T surnames,OU=Test Users,OU=Campus Users,DN=campus,DN=ncl,DN=ac,DN=uk
