i dont know the answer to your question... but wouldnt it be correct if your ldap server was made up like this:
cn=givenname surname etc
sn=surname
gn=givenname
uid=I0112233
and the dn:
uid=I0112233,dc=example,dc=org
cn is supposed to be the name of the entity, so i think evolution is behaving correctly

Hi, I've got Evolution doing proper LDAP looks against our LDAP server except for one problem. Our LDAP system uses a USER ID as the cn, i.e. cn=I0112233. So browsing the LDAP contacts under "Other Contacts" or trying to send an email to someone looked up via LDAP results in the name being I0112233 etc. Here's a sample from the Contact Listings: I0112233 Name: I0112233 Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Business: xxx/xxx-xxxx //Phone Number Dept: IT Title: Sys. Admin Now, names are sorted properly, i.e. 'D' names all show up when I click on the letter D on the right side of Evolution so the first name and last information is there. Browsing the LDAP server with GQ shows me that this is true: cn=I0112233 sn=Doe fullName=Doe, John givenName=John [EMAIL PROTECTED] My question is this: Is it possible to get Evolution to fill in the Persons name instead of I0112233 in under both "Other Contacts" and when doing a lookup when trying to address an email? The information there it's just not getting presented properly. Here are my vitals: SuSE 8.2/Evolution 1.4 Any help would be greatly appreciated.
