I want to report few problems that I have with the contact component of
a LDAP database.
I created a private LDAP database with write priviledge granted to all
(testing purposes). I can access, add and modify records from any shell
prompt. I can also access contacts from that database directly from
evolution.
But when trying to modify a contact, most fields are disabled. Only the
name, organization, location, fileAs fields, web page address and
everything on the details page can be modifyied as the fields are not
grayed out. Interestingly I can change the name, but when I press the
fullname button, all the fields are disabled in the resulting popup
dialog.
>From the contact view, the New Contact button, New List and delete
button are also grayed out. But double-clicking in an empty cell on the
list brings up a new contact that I can fill and save without any
problem. As expected the contact is saved on my server in my LDAP
database. So it seems that the permissions are OK and that indeed my
database is read-write. Therefore one should expect all buttons and
fields to be enabled.
Anybody else working wih LDAP having similar problems ? I really want to
use LDAP write access with Evolution which will make it really superior
to Outlook and Netscape messenger or Mozilla-mail as they seem to have
poor support for it (in write mode AFAIK).
