To enable traffic between Kerio MailServer and Apple Address Book, the following services must be running in Kerio MailServer (enabled in the administration console):

- LDAP(S) — this service is required for searching in the Kerio MailServer's LDAP database.

- HTTP(S) — this service is required for synchronization of contacts.

### Warning

In addition to configuration of the services on the server, it is also necessary to map corresponding ports on the firewall protecting the server. Otherwise, services will not be available from the Internet (for details, see section 2.3 Firewall configuration).

Apple Address Book and Kerio Sync Connector settings are described in Kerio MailServer 6, User's Guide.
