We are an edu and have an outside entity requesting access to our
exchange 2003 address book.
I was thinking about creating a proxy user and giving it limited search
rights in AD
(name, email, phone, dept) and acl'ing 389 to the other orgs network.
Is this possible?

Thanks,
Paul

It is, but have you considered an alternate method? Maybe a secured web page vs. 389 access to the network?? A web service?

What are the risks that you see in your organization and are trying to mitigate vs. the rewards? How real-time does this need to be?

Allowing access is easy. Doing it in a way that meets your risk tolerance and return on time spent is different and requires a better understanding of your goals and environmental factors.

My initial idea too complicated and political.

We're going to deploy a separate ldap (novell) server for
trusted external entities.

ADAM in a DMZ, perhaps
?

Allowing LDAP queries into your domain
sounds risky to me. Proxying into your own AD gives me the chills, quite frankly
:P

Another option might be to extract the data
periodically through a script and publish it to a secure webpage, like Al
suggests. Bit more work, but also much more secure imho.

Regards,

Paul.
