i guess it depends on what exactly you gonna be doing with that
write-access support, i mean how far you wanna take it. if its
the same user modifying its own entry then you already have dn
and if you wanna add new entries / new users you gonna have to
figure out where to add them to and hence your dn question here
i guess. i would take dn of the user you already bound as for
this [user provided thru prefs] so it gives you the right form
that is likely to be taken well by the server straight away.

I have been looking at what it will take to implement write-access to LDAP directories within the Mozilla Address Book (SeaMonkey & Thunderbird).

One of the areas that I have to work out a resolution for, is what should the dn field consist of?

For instance, currently my local LDAP server is set up so that dn is:

dn: cn=Users Common Name,dc=intranet

The address book currently exports it as:

dn: cn=Users Common Name,mail=Users Primary Email

So, what should I set the dn to? Is there any real standard? What do other servers/clients do in these instances?

Thanks in advance
