exchange_nsp(4gx)

Name

exchange_nsp — Handler for the Name Service Provider Interface Protocol

Description

exchange_nsp is a component for http(8gx) which handles the Name Service Provider Interface Protocol, in essence providing the Address Book for Outlook's EMSMDB32.DLL connector.

Configuration directives

The usual config file location is /etc/gromox/exchange_nsp.cfg.

cache_interval
Default: 5 minutes

hash_table_size
Default: 3000

nsp_trace
Level 1: Log entry into and exit out of NSP functions, with their parameter values to stderr (not http_log_file!). Log data dumps of select calls. Level 2: Dump more data.
Default: 0

x500_org_name
Default: (unspecified)

Notes

A number of properties are always synthesized by exchange_nsp and never read from any storage; this includes key properties such as PR_ENTRYID, PR_RECORD_KEY, etc.

For user-attached properties that are read from SQL (cf. table "user_properties"), exchange_nsp (as well as zcore(8gx)'s AB) only handles a subset of property types: PT_BOOLEAN, PT_SHORT, PT_LONG, PT_I8, PT_SYSTIME, PT_BINARY, PT_UNICODE/STRING8 and PT_MV_UNICODE/STRING8.

Signals

Upon receipt of SIGHUP, the address book cache will be dropped; the next regular request for the AB will cause it to be reloaded.
