[Evolution] Adding a contact to ldap-server -> fields are greyed out

[Carsten Reimer <creimer xs4all nl>]

Hallo,

after puzzeling for nearly two days including several google searches
and etherreal sniffing I guess I need some assistance. I am trying to
get evolution 1.4.3 to work with an openldap-Server 2.1.17 on a
debian-woody system. I am able to read and delete entries via evolution
and I am also able to add entries using the openldap-tools (using the
same binddn and searchbase as for evolution). But when I try to add or
edit entries via evolution I cannot enter a single letter in the
appearing form. I have no idea where to look further. I included
core.schema, cosine.schema, inetorperson.schema and
evolutionperson.schema in my slapd.conf. But it does not work either I
leave evolutionperson.schema out or not.

By sniffing a bit I realized that evolution, after having set up the
values for the directory-server for the first time, queries the server
with an unauthorized bind for several attributes from the rootDSE (such
as subschemaSubentry supportedFeatures ...). So I had to change the
access-rules to make that query successful - and it was (concerning to
etherreal-output). But adding entries is still impossible.

I would appreciate any hint which might help me on my way.

Thanks in advance

Carsten

P. S.:
What's strange, that I am not able any more to delete the
directory-server entry from evolution (using Tools->Settings).
