Contacts Cog
The contacts ContextCog is pre-configured out-of-the-box to connect to the domain
on which the Perceptive Enterprise Search Server is running. If your web server is on the same domain,
you need do nothing more. However, if your web server is not a member of the domain,
you will need to manually configure the cog with the details of your domain.
To configure the contacts cog, from the Perceptive Enterprise Search Administration Console:
- Click the ContextCogs link on the home page
- Select "Contacts" from the list
The following configuration options are available:
- XSLT Template - Specifies an alternate XSLT template to use when rendering contact
information. The default is to use the Contacts.xslt located in the Perceptive Enterprise Search\WebCog
folder.
- LDAP Server - Specifies the host name or IP address of your LDAP server. Set this
to the machine hosting Active Directory. Omit this value to connect using the local
domain.
- LDAP Port - Specifies the port to use when connecting to the LDAP server. Omit this
value to connect using the default port.
- LDAP Username - Specifies the username of the account that should be used to connect
to the LDAP server.
- LDAP Password - Specifies the password of the account to use when connecting to
the LDAP server.
- LDAP Columns - Indicates a semicolon-delimited column to retrieve from the LDAP
server for the searched user. If you wish to display extra information about the
user, you will also need to modify the XSLT file. The default set is: cn; displayName;
company; mail; telephoneNumber; streetAddress; st; postalCode; country; department;
l; title
- LDAP Criteria - Indicates additional constraints that are applied to the returned
users. The default is to return all people with an email address; the setting is:
(&(objectClass=person)(mail=*))
