1 Overview
EUDC, the Emacs Unified Directory Client, provides
a common user interface to access directory servers using
different directory protocols.
Currently supported back-ends are:
- LDAP, Lightweight Directory Access Protocol
- CCSO PH/QI
- BBDB, Big Brother's Insidious Database
The main features of the EUDC interface are:
- Queries using a customizable form
- Inline query expansion (for instance you can expand a name
to an email address in a mail message buffer using a server as
an address book)
- Multiple servers can be tried in turn until a match is
found for an inline query
- Fast minibuffer queries for email addresses and phone
numbers
- Interface to BBDB to let you insert server records into
your own BBDB database (see BBDB)
