14.4.2 To Check if the mail Attribute Exists in the LDAP Entry

If you do not know if your users, groups and resources have the mail attribute, for Schema version 2 environments, use Delegated Administrator to check for mail services.

For Schema version 1 environments, use the csattribute list command with the -v (verbose) option.

For example, to check if the conference room resource Room100 has the mail attribute, you would issue the following command:

csattribute -v list Room100

The output tells if the mail attribute is present:

cn=Room 100,ou=conferenceRooms,dc=sesta,dc=com
 has mail: Room100@sesta.com

If the mailattribute exists, you do not have to add it. If the attribute does not exist, then add it as shown in the section that follows.
