Hi Srikanth, I'm beginning to think you are right!
I just did some experiments........ First, I removed my local contacts contents,as the addresses I tested happen to be in both local contacts db and the remote LDAP server. I did that for performance reasons - our LDAP server is in a different country, so having frequently used addresses local makes a big difference. So, I added the relevant line for the LDAP autocompletion in a number of different ways :- As a complete <section path="/Addressbook/Completion">.........</section> both before and after the existing section. As just the <entry name="uri" type="string" value="... line in the existing Addressbook/Completion section, both before and after the existing entry. Neither works! I can still use the LDAP server manually as an alternate addressbook source, so I know the parameters are right. I guess that means that at some point between 1.02 and 1.05, it got broken. I note that the entry line gets turned into a massive hex string under some circumstances. Then I noticed that when I had the new entry line before the existing one (which always seems to be a hex string), it gets turned into a hex string which is identical to the first one! Then, when I do a completion from the local contacts, and a menu of possible matches is offered, each entry comes up twice. It seems that having two identical entries causes two searches. However, none of the experiments caused LDAP autocompletion to work any more. That means the instructions in the knowledge base are now not useful. There is a possible alternative :- I used ldapsearch to get a local copy of my LDAP server's database locally in an LDIF file. Then I import it into the local contacts file. The ldapsearch program is pretty simple to use - for me it's ldapsearch -x -h <ServerName> -b ou=people,o=company.com -s one > myldap.ldif Then import the file myldap.ldif with evolution's importers. If any Ximian folks look at this, can you test if the knowledge base instructions are now non-functional?
