# macOS Contacts Configuration

The integration of the [[zentrales-adressbuch]] into [[macos]] is achieved by adding a directory service account through the system's network settings.

## Setup Procedure
1. **Access Internet Accounts:** Open **System Settings** $\rightarrow$ **Internet Accounts**.
2. **Add Account:** Select **Add Other Account...** and choose **LDAP Account**.
3. **Enter Server Details:**
   - **Server:** `adressbuch.uni-greifswald.de`
   - **Port:** `636`
   - **Protocol:** `LDAP v3`
   - **Encryption:** Enabled (TLS/SSL)
   - **Base DN:** `dc=uni-greifswald,dc=de,dc=TLD`
4. **Verification:** Once the account appears in the Internet Accounts list, the [[kontakte]] application will be able to query the directory.

## Support
If configuration fails, users are directed to the [[universitatsrechenzentrum-urz]] via the [[groupware]] ticket system or the URZ hotline.
