ISyncLDAP’s presentation for iPhone and iPad
ISyncLDAP is the best app to synchronize the native iPhone contacts directory with an OpenLDAP.
After syncing, you should get all your OpenLDAP contacts available to every native iPhone / iPad app, especially phone, mail and global search.
Features :
-
When you get called by a LDAP-registered contact, the phone will show his full name, and not only his phone number.
-
As the LDAP database is locally-recorded, searching it goes far faster.
-
Update your contacts directory using your favourite PC or web apps, and have ISyncLDAP retrieve them for you.
-
No more need for double typing. You can even save you the pain from manually adding contacts to your iPhone.
-
ISyncLDAP is the best way to deploy a business directory to your mobile users.
