Re: [Evolution] Connecting to LDAP address book

[Scott Anderson <ee_in_co yahoo com>]

Karim:

Some other questions:

Can you use this LDAP server under other applications?
Does ldapsearch -x work?

I had similar problems with evolution connecting to an LDAP server, but it was incorrect settings
in my ldap.conf file.  Once I figured them out, I was able to connect much better.

    Karim,

What version of Evolution are you running?
Iam running 2.4.1 and when I set mine up it did the same thing to meover and over again.
I had to reboot twice after the intial setup and then the error wentaway.

My problem is now it appears to connect, however when I do a search fora name in the ldap contact
list I get no information displayed and thesearch takes less than a second to complete, and the
company has around3,000 email addresses.

Try rebooting, if this does not work the first time, delete and re-setthe ldap, then on the addess
book properties window ==> display tab==> click on find possible search bases, if that returns
informationselect it (means that you are at the least talking to the ldap server(and this is far
as I have been able to get with mine)).
