[Evolution] Evolution and ldap - handling of Field givenName



Hallo,

while trying to set up an ldap-based adressbook for Evolution and
Outlook Express I came across a imho strange behaviour of Evolution
(1.4.3). I tried to enter a Contact by using the form in Evolution.
There I entered the First and the Last Name and pressed Save and Close.
>From the Ethereal sniff of the traffic between evo and the ldap server
appeared that evo saved the First and the Last name as a conjunction in
the field cn. I expected that First Name should go into gn (givenName)
and Last Name into sn (surname). I am using the evolutionPerson-Schema
(and core, cosine and inetOrgPerson as well). When I saved an ldap-entry
manually (using ldapadd and an ldif-file with a gn-field) evo was'nt
able to retrieve the gn-field. Is there any reason for this behaviour or
do I do something wrong.

Thank you for any hints.

Thanks in advance

Carsten
