About Dynamic Address Book Link for LDAP

The FootPrints Dynamic Address Book Link feature retrieves contact data dynamically from any LDAP-compliant contact database for the Address Book. If this option is used, FootPrints dynamically accesses the outside database for contact information in the Address Book.

Note

This feature is an optional add-on module and must be activated on your FootPrints server for the option to appear. Please contact your BMC salesperson or reseller if you would like to purchase this option.
