Re: [Evolution] LDAP contact updates?

[Chris Toshok <toshok ximian com>]

Actually, you also need to make sure the ldap server allows subschema
queries.

There are two possible scenarios:

1) auth isn't working, in which case the contact view when you open the
folder will have the string "There are no items to show in this view"
displayed.

2) the subschema query failed for some reason.  If this is the case
you'll also see the following text in the contact view: "Double-click
here to create a new Contact."

You can do "killall evolution-wombat" then start up evolution-wombat in
a separate terminal (it's
$prefix/libexec/evolution/1.3/evolution-wombat), then start evolution
and open your ldap server.  It should spit out some diagnostics if
things go wrong.
