In Evolution, I add the address book with the server, and ask for "get search base". Then it correctly returns "dc=squirrel-systems,dc=com". So there is a connection with the OpenLDAP server! However that's all: I don't get any contacts listed.This is similar to my issue[1] that I sent with subject 'Problem fetching my LDAP addressbook' Aug 30 22:12. I never received any responses to that one though.
It is working (kinda) in both applications for me. Dumb luck finding out though.
The solution: I must search for the addresses. Searching with "contact contains" and then filling in a single space gives me (all of the) contacts!! So also in ibook's addressbook application.
A very stupid and non-intuitive workaround to what I see as a serious Evolution shortcoming.
Evolution doesn't seem to get any stabler recently either... the version with Mandriva 2007.1 is very unstable, crashing at least once a day.
Wouter.
Surely it must be someone which successfully uses Evolution + LDAP addressbook? 1. http://mail.gnome.org/archives/evolution-list/2007-August/msg00222.html Rgds, Thomas
